some of those apples i never posted...

A good long while ago, I mentioned that I was going to post some of the photos that never made it into the book I shot for Rowan Jacobsen. I guess I never got around to doing that. Better late than never, right?

This truly was such an amazing project to be part of. I got to photograph a few hundred variety of apples, several orchards in multiple states, as well as some delicious recipes. Due to page count, a lot of images and text had to be cut in the end. Regardless, it still turned out to be a beautiful and insanely informative book that will always hold a special place in my heart.

I can't seem to get enough apples!

Below are some images from a shoot for Domex Superfresh Growers.
(Oh, and just a tip-- you should really try roasting apples, onions and carrots together, sprinkled with a little za'atar, as shown in one of the photos below. Oh, the yumminess!)

two things you should know about

Well, hello! It appears I took the summer off from blogging. :)

But I am back! And with some cool things to share....

First off, the apple book I spent the past two years shooting is out! And it's pretty darn beautiful, if I do say so myself. In the near future, I will be posting a whole bunch of photos that didn't make it into the book (due to page count), but first I wanted to mention this event. I know it's last minute but, if you can attend, it will be a great opportunity to meet Rowan, learn about rare apples, taste some cider and get your hands on one of these books. You won't be sorry.

Second, my farm to table workshop is coming up in one month, and it's pretty much full. HOWEVER, one of the registrants recently had to back out of her spot and she has generously asked that it be given to a person who would love to attend but doesn't have the funds right now. I am going to call this the "Peggy Scholarship." :)

If you would like to be considered for this free spot, please first make absolute sure you can attend. The class description is here. Second, send me an email (clare at clarebarboza dot com) with "Peggy Scholarship" in the subject line and tell me why you are interested in the class. I will be choosing a winner by September 18th.

More soon...

another apple shoot!

Julie (aka: food stylist extraordinaire) and I recently worked together on another apple shoot.
Here are some of the final images...
