Jamón ibérico, Iberian ham, also called pata negra, is a type of cured ham produced only in Spain. I was introduced to this cured ham which sells for $270/pound when I was hired to photograph it at Cristina’s Restaurant in Sun Valley, Idaho. I usually don’t fuss with the food that I photograph very much. I like to capture the beauty that naturally comes out when someone first places it in front of my camera. You bet I did not move, touch or fuss with this very special ham when Cristina placed it on the table in front of me. This beautiful plate was quickly enjoyed by a table next to me as soon as I wrapped up the photoshoot.

Sawtooth Botanical Garden Tour is this Weekend!

It’s amazing that another year has gone by and it’s time for the annual Sawtooth Botanical Garden Tour again. With all the rain and recent sun I’m sure the gardens will as spectacular as ever. One thing I really appreciate about this tour is the combination of flower and vegetables garden that are chosen to be on the tour each year. Read about this year’s gardens in this week’s Idaho Mountain Express Newspaper.

Blue Skies at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden

I was off to the Sawtooth Botanical Garden today to get some produce photos for a magazine story. I am fascinated by gardens, especially when I get to see what and how others choose to grow. So needless to say I loved my time in the peaceful gardens today. Above is one of the several new interpretative signs in the gardens. Yes, you may have noticed this is my photography on the Allotment Gardens sign.
