A fantastic weekend – and it’s only Sunday morning!

Dana and I are so fortunate to have the company of many good friends – I couldn’t imagine life without them.  As much as I think that my “survival item” on a deserted island would be a fully equipped chef’s kitchen and farm, the truth is it would be friends and family before fois gras.

Our friends are often connected by passion; each share a committment and pursuit and love of something.  The topic of passion changes from person to person but the underlying commitment to things like food, cooking, photography, design, writing, art, cycling, wine, travel or something else binds us together.

I had the privilege of seeing our friend Margaret in her prime yesterday.  Margaret is a professional photographer who is madly passionate about food and the people within the industry.  Margaret agreed to help me get some bio pics.  I am generally not comfortable in front of the camera lens and she made it relatively painless – I am thrilled with the results and even more thrilled to have seen her “do her thing.”  She really is a special kind of talent and has a fantastic portfolio.

To check out Margaret’s work (much of it specializes in food and food industry), take a trip to her site.  It’s worth a peak!
