Sam Comfort and "The Love Song of the Drone"

For the last few months, I have been working on a series of photographs documenting urban beekeeping. One of the coolest beekeepers I met this summer was Sam Comfort. Here is a short video of him singing his "Love Song of the Drone" in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York.

Killing Your Meal for the First Time

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Meg Paska, a part-time farmer and full-time backyard homesteader, as she attempted to humanely kill and process a chicken for the first time. An article she wrote detailing her experience was published by the Huffington Post. Please click on the above image to read the complete story as well as to see more pictures. Warning: Some readers may find some of the images upsetting.
