If you’re reading this site via RSS, take a second and check out the new header image. It’s a shot I took last spring at the Orono Bog Walk.

If you follow my Flickr photos, you may have noticed a recent uptick in the amount of food photos we’re posting to our Good Food set. This is all in preparation for a new project I’m working on that I hope to take the lid off over the next couple of weeks. Here’s a preview.
