Meaghin Kennedy is a writer and photographer who advocates for a sustainable food system. She lives in Brooklyn, NY.
Because I spent three hours with Alison and Michael of Butter + Love, I came home with more pictures than I was able to share in the original article. I stayed for the entire process, from breaking eggs and mixing dough, to stamping out the shapes and baking the cookies, to the final stages of [...]
My dad is a therapist to troubled adolescent boys, and a good one at that. He’s worked at Timber Ridge School for the past 22 years–the only job he’s had since our family moved from South Carolina to Virginia. I can see how impactful his work is when I’m flipping through images on his camera. [...]
Sam and Evi are good friends of ours from Washington, DC. Well, technically, Evi is a good friend of ours from DC, but we didn’t meet Sam until after we moved! Extremely long story short, we met Evi when she was part of another couple. Right around the time we got married, Evi and “Guy [...]
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and friends. I hope tomorrow is filled with good conversation, even better food, and maybe even a satisfying afternoon nap! Both of our families are in town and we’ve spent today trekking all over Brooklyn gathering up ingredients. Last Friday, I picked up a few stunning dried flower [...]
Working from home has its perks (hot chocolate breaks, cuddles with my cat, sweatshirts), but sometimes I just have to get out of the apartment. When I feel stir-crazy, I tend to wander. Often I don’t have a specific destination in mind, but rather leave on an impulse, thinking thoughts like ‘today I’ll wander to [...]
How do I describe the rush of seeing elite athletes run by me, clocking 4:30 minute miles? These runners–seen here around mile 7 of the New York City Marathon–were barely breathing, their light footsteps whispering past the crowd in seconds. I set my shutter speed to 1/3000 and that was still barely fast enough to [...]
I had to mail back (my) the 85mm lens yesterday. In my mind, the weather was appropriately gloomy as I walked the block to the post office holding the box. I felt very comfortable using this lens in the short time I had it. I wouldn’t say it ‘fit like a glove’ (mostly because it’s [...]
After last summer’s frantic visit to Storm King, we promised ourselves that we’d return with more than one hour allocated to visiting the 500 acre property. Our goal this year was to leave the city by 10:30 and eat a picnic lunch on one of the shaded lawns. We didn’t end up leaving Brooklyn until [...]
I frequently walk between Brooklyn’s Park Slope and Carroll Gardens neighborhoods, either via Union Street or Carroll Street. Parts of each walk have their charm, especially when I enter the outskirts of tree-lined Carroll Gardens. However, between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens lies the Gowanus Canal, also known as an EPA Superfund site. When it [...]
I’m going to keep this short and sweet because it’s 70 degrees outside and I don’t want to be in front of my computer any longer than necessary! This is the perfect weather to picnic in Prospect Park, snacking on fresh berries and tomato sandwiches. For the meantime, I’ll content myself with a jar of [...]
