I photographed the James Beard Foundation Awards at Avery Fisher Hall in New York. Some of the highlights included Danny Meyer winning for Outstanding Restaurant - Gramercy Tavern. Outstanding Restaurant Award Winner Danny Meyer - owner of Gramercy Tavern. Season 2 "Top Chef" contestant Marcel Vigneron. Jacques Pepin and guests. "Top Chef'" judge Tom Colicchio with Kristianne Pak - winner of the Almost Famous Chef competition in Los Angeles. A fabulous spread of cheeses from Artisinal.
Of course we all want to lower our impact on the environment and work to lower our carbon footprint. Working digitally allows us to eliminate the thousands of gallons of developer and other chemicals used in the developing and printing processes. Camera batteries are all rechargeable as are the batteries and battery packs we use in our lighting equipment meaning we do not have to fill landfills with toxic batteries each week. We recycle as much as we can and try to work with local vendors and small businesses. We also offer images on CD to cut down on paper usage. Hey - I even bike to work when I can! Every little bit helps.
I am adding a list of vendors that provide eco-friendly services. Please email me if you know of a vendor that could be added!
