Silver Spoons. 2010.

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Congratulations to Chef Jonathon Sawyer and all at The Greenhouse Tavern for being named Cleveland’s Best New Restaurant by Cleveland Magazine! This award is especially heartwarming, not only because of the fabulous locally sourced food that GHT serves up every day and the incredible ambiance of the tavern, but because the place is Ohio’s first certified green restaurant.

We had a great time recently photographing Jonathon’s food for the cover and the tavern for the inside spread for the Silver Spoon issue of CM. This is so timely, since I just posted about Jonathon and the accolades from Food and Wine Magazine last week.

Additional congrats to Jennifer Kessen, art director, and Cleveland Magazine on their first redesign in almost ten years. Looks awesome!

Wellness- Cleveland Clinic 2010 Calendar

Cover- Cleveland Clinic 2010 Calendar

We completed photography for the 2010 Cleveland Clinic calendar in mid-November and I could not wait to share it! What a fabulous project. CCF graphic designer Anne Drago’s concept was just the challenge for Taxel Image Group to wrap up this year. We started with a list of fifteen ‘wellness’ programs for Cleveland Clinic employees and patients that Anne wished to represent with striking, creative photography.

After some intense brainstorming and scouting, we narrowed the list down to twelve programs and proceeded to photograph everything from fitness equipment to blackberries, and from measuring tape, electrocardiogram leads, running shoes and artichokes to a waterfall, nicotine gum, acupuncture needles, hands, yoga mats, and colanders. We attempted to photograph each subject from a unique and unexpected perspective while creating visual patterns of color, shape, and light.
