Last week was the first official photo session for our documentary project about Helen Chandler of Whistling Wolf Farm. Although snow still covers the ground (in fact, it’s snowing hard outside my window as I write this), Helen is already planting for the new season. Last week she whipped up batch after batch of her […]
Last week we visited our friend Helen, who owns Whistling Wolf Farm, one of the farms who sell at the Metuchen Farmers Market. We are just beginning an exciting project with her: this year, we’re going to document the whole process of planting, tending, and harvesting vegetables at her farm.

Dan invented an ingenious portable shopping bag. They both have demanding day jobs, but in their free time, they […]
Antonella and Ryan’s Bernards Inn wedding reception was a ball. Everybody, no matter how young or how old, tore up the dance floor. And, by the way, they cycled home after their wedding ceremony on Ryan’s mountain bike — so it’s not surprising that Kyo loved photographing them and their wedding. (Anyone who knows Kyo, knows […]
