Delicious Basque Cheesecake Recipe: A Taste of Spain
Talking with a nurse a few weeks ago about food and restaurants. We talked about regional foods, our favorite recipes, our favorite restaurants, and then she piped in about this incredible cheesecake she had. She told me I needed to try making a ‘Basque Cheesecake’. She said I would be hooked immediately as it is unlike any cheesecake she has ever had. I looked at some recipes online and …

This was an unplanned trip and just how I like to travel. I was in Tel Aviv to photograph a number of models and one particular model invited me to Jerusalem. I thought ‘what the heck’, why not? I have three months of unplanned travel ahead of me. I got online, saw Bethlehem was …

THE INSATIABLE JIMMY
I had some free time in London, about a week’s worth. I decided to use a particular website to find someone to photograph. Not a lot of time for any professional to prepare but I do know from experience that there are plenty of guys like myself who embrace a ‘spontaneous’ lifestyle. As I was going over profiles and pics, getting tired, almost giving up, I came across this handsome Italian man currently living in London – Jimmy!!! I reached out immediately and …

DEKOTA – DEAFENING SATISFACTION
Model: Dekota
Location: Rochester, England
Original Background Painting: Dekota
This photo shoot had the potential to completely be a flop and it had the potential to be over the top. Edgy, cocky, confident Dekota was my model. An original painting inspired by Amy Winehouse (one of my favorite musical artists) was the unknown element. Leather collar and …

I lived in Denver for a number of years and one of my favorite things to do during the weekend or on a holiday was to wander around the city and or neighborhoods. Always with my camera and always with an open mind. This story is of one such day and my encounter with a few guys living on the streets. Cheers, Drew Frederic
