pdn Taste Food Photography Awards
pdn Taste Food Photography Awards

Winners were announced today for the pdn Taste – 2016 Food Photography Awards, and I just won in two categories! The Taste competition, organized by Photo District News, is the most prestigious food photography contest in America. This a huge honor, as there were hundreds (thousands?) of stunning entries.

I am honored to be recognized alongside the other winners, representing the best food photographers in the world. I’m also very happy to see among the winners (again) this year my longtime favorite photographers, Peden + Munk. Taylor Peden and Jen Munkvold used to shoot my restaurant reviews for Angeleno magazine. They won this year for their gorgeous work at Bon Appetit.

I won in the professional division for Destination/Travel, a category devoted to culinary-focused travel photography, for my images of the food scene in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.

I also won in the professional Social Media category for a selection of snaps from my Instagram feed. Are you following me on Instagram?

Check out all the winners at the pdn Taste winner’s gallery.

For more travel inspiration and photos, I invite you to follow me and join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

My sincerest thanks to the North American Travel Journalists Awards!⁠ 128 19
Hey, OC. FYI in case you missed it, @ryegoods has opened a new location on Red Hill in Tustin, just down the street from Flight/Mess Hall. Same incredible breads and pastries as the original on the peninsula. No lines here, plus a huge seating area. #sourdough #pastries #coffee #orangecounty 331 9
One more post from our lovely stay at @fstokyo. Delicious lunch at @maisonmarunouchi, the casual sibling to @sezannetokyo. Excellent all around. And clearly popular with Tokyo's ladies who lunch: the clientele during our visit, almost entirely women. Quite the see-and-be-seen crowd. 66 1
I’m not sure which I liked better about the @fstokyo, the valet greeter and escort from the train station, the view of the trains from our room, or the super comfy pajamas. Excellent service all around. #Tokyo #Japan #hoteljunkie 83 3
I think @sezannetokyo ⁠has a #footfetish, and I’m ok with that. Truly fantastic lunch. Impeccable service. ⁠ 64 2
We had a really fun "Lost in Translation" moment at @meatman_roppongi. Google Translate failed hilariously. Delicious meat/fat overload anyway. Great staff, charming hospitality. Lots of sake. Thank you, @fstokyo for securing the reservation! #Tokyo #Roppongi #sake 77 1
