I am in New York until April 4, so we will blog in present tense, for the next week or so. We will return to the past soon!
I had a drink last night out in Brooklyn with my new friend Steven Rinella, who gave me this excellent quote in support of Wok the Dog:
To say that Charlie Grosso’s Wok the Dog is ‘food photography’ is like saying that Ansel Adams took pictures of big rocks. By illuminating the global human relationship to food, she makes the farthest corners of the world seem somehow expansive yet knowable, bizarre yet right next door. These images are beautiful, technically perfect, and sometimes a little bit creepy.”
– Steven Rinella, author of The Scavenger’s Guide to Haute Cuisine
Steven was just a really great guy. It was the first time that I had meet him and I feel privileged to have made a new friend.
