Made by monks in the French Alps with a top secret list of 130 ingredients! For almost 300 years!

I learned a lot about Chartreuse (and distilling liqueurs, in general) while shooting the photos for this feature in Philadelphia Magazine “What Philly Bartenders Will Do for a Bottle of Chartreuse” August 2026.

Happy Friday!
Quick post featuring a couple of Pinelands fire towers. They look pretty good all brightly painted out there in the woods!

Copied from the State of New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection website:

When a wildfire occurs, the first step in the process is a timely and accurate reporting of the fire’s location. To accomplish this, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service maintains a system of 21 look out towers at strategic locations throughout the state. At least one tower in each division is operated whenever the woods are dry enough to burn and all towers are staffed during the months of March, April, May, October and November.

Look out towers continue to be effective and observers detect one half of all wildfires reported. The other half are called in by the general public, aircraft pilots and forest fire patrols.
In addition, forest fire observers calculate and report fire danger ratings that are used to alert the general public and determine staffing levels for the Forest Fire Service’s fire suppression operations.

1-3 : Cedar Bridge fire tower (there’s a military looking plane in the sky on the left if you look closely in #2)
4 & 5 : Apple Pie Hill fire tower in Wharton State Forest. If you zoom in and look on the horizon straight up from the tower you can see the tiny Philadelphia skyline.

Kurt Vile photographed for Philadelphia Magazine, July 2026 issue.

The new album “Philadelphia’s Been Good to Me” dropped last month and he’s on tour now - playing here in Philly at The Dell this Saturday!

It was a total pleasure meeting and having Kurt in studio for this portrait session.
We talked about the Dirty Three show the night before, about his “bobo” guitar, about the structural integrity of glass beer bottles, parenthood, King Kong (heyba heyba)… and about all the color variants of the new vinyl record– Schuylkill River Blue (lol), Wissahickon Green, and Wooder Ice Red.

Thanks for making time Kurt Vile and thanks to everyone Philadelphia Magazine for the assignment.

Hi everyone! I was tasked with documenting the New Jersey Pine Barrens for a long form feature in Philadelphia Magazine (Secrets of the Pines, May 2026).

Shot between late last summer and early this spring, the work approaches the region as both a travel story and a kind of love letter to a place that’s often misunderstood and overlooked. For many, the Pine Barrens are just the stretch between the city and the Shore, but there's so much more - even magical - especially if you know what to look for. Through landscapes, details, and portraits, the project aims to capture the character, beauty, and sense of place that make the Pinelands so unique.

In a series of posts, Pinelands Alliance and I are teaming up to share more of the images I captured for this project (there's a lot,lol). Stay tuned for a deep dive into the Pines!

I had the pleasure of photographing Paul Farber of for an interview feature in the May 26 issue of Philly Mag. Paul curated the current "Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments" exhibit at the Art Museum of Philadelphia.

Shooting a portrait on the steps inside the museum with the iconic "Diana" statue in the background was a real treat. It's a big, magnificent space... putting a normal sized human in there and lining up an angle that'll show them both off is exactly the kind of challenge that rings my bell!

Much thanks to Paul Farber for making my job easy and the folks at for the opportunity.

I'm looking forward to visiting the "Rising Up" exhibit at the Art Museum this weekend. 💥 👊 💥
