Can’t wait to get my hands on Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, as illustrated by the great Maira Kalman. Above, one of my favorite rules, “Do all your eating at a table,” and one I try to abide to. 

See an audio slideshow of excerpts from the book on Pollan’s website and get a copy of the book here.

Issue 1 of Kinfolk Magazine is out. Hoorah! You can see it online (make sure to view it full-screen) and there’s also a limited number of print copies available. I got my own copy in the mail on Monday — and whoa. Gorgeous. 

I’ve contributed a story about Cloth Napkins (pages 88-95 on the web), and a few others of my photos are also used throughout the magazine. This is also my photo on the cover.
