Shoot to Cook: A Photographer Learns to Cook

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

As many of my regular readers will know, I’ve been working on a personal project in between paying gigs for the last few weeks, and I’m now ready to go public with it. I have always wanted to learn how to cook. I mean to really learn how to cook. I have gone through phases [...]

Minneapolis

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

It’s been a busy week, and today was the first day back in the office. My last assignment before the long weekend was in Minneapolis, and after some trials and a frightening run in with a corrupt flash card, I’m back. Overall I feel pretty good about the shoots thus far and now I’m getting [...]

I am in Chicago for a shoot, then off to Minneapolis this afternoon for another shoot. It’s hectic and I’m tired of traveling alone – the excitement of traveling for photography has worn off. I miss Dr. Girlfriend and I’m ready to come home. The work itself is still exciting. I even got up early [...]

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I was in PA for a wedding last weekend, and I took the opportunity to photograph things that I’m normally not able to do. In this case I went into a cornfield and made some images. I have been experimenting with some counter-intuitive methods of making photographs outdoors, since my efforts thus far have been [...]

Clay Patrick McBride on Bravo

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

I don’t watch much regular TV these days. My couch time is spent watching streaming netflix or hulu, so when I watched Bravo’s Make Me A Supermodel last night, I was shocked back into the world of commercials. I was watching because a friend of mine who I met teaching my lighting class at SVA [...]
