This week came with an unexpected surprise: news that a collaboration between myself and Jennifer Nu, Snout to Table (Edible Alaska vol. 17, Fall 2020), was named Best Long Feature, First Place in the Alaska Press Club’s 2020 Awards.
Really, my credit is perfunctory, as the main draw is the written article by Jennifer Nu. I’m delighted my photos could provide some visual aid to the year-long passion project that was The Pig. It was such a pleasure to follow the process from beginning to end (and since I was an observer, all while not getting my hands messy, to boot!) The press club judges’ comments were:
The reporter takes readers on a heartfelt yet unsentimental journey - showing them a process many may not have experienced themselves. It fulfills one of journalism's missions to take readers places they may never be and does so in a compelling way.
You can see the online version of Snout to Table on Edible Alaska’s website here. I also published a blog post with a bunch more images from the year-long project here.
