Summer in Upstate New York is a beautiful time of the year to cook and to connect. I am really excited to team up with ASA and the Arts Center for Farms Food Photography Bootcamp for Adults with ASA  .  This farm-to-table camp is StoryCooking. It combines my love and my art.  We are never too old to go to camp, make new friends, explore beautiful Washington and Rensselaer counties and have a great time! Students will be expected to meet me at the farms, farmer market and the digital lab.  We will have a tour, meet the farmers, cook together, document the day, reflect on the role of farms and food in our lives. And yes, have a blast! Don’t forget to bring your camera! Please see the list of the beautiful farms we will be visiting bellow.
