ONVIEW: JASON HOUSTON Photography: Food and Farming

Jason Houston, an independent documentary photographer, focuses on social and environmental issues across the country and around the world. He has photographed the small family farms throughout the Berkshire region for over a decade and traveled to over a dozen countries documenting community-based conservation in the developing world. His environmental portraits, landscapes, and elemental details focus the viewer on the global issues and processes that define how we live on this planet. Houston is a frequent contributor to Berkshire Living Magazine and serves as the photo editor of Orion Magazine.
DISH – Mary Anne Davis out of nearby Chatham, NY makes functional porcelain dishware intended for daily use. She shares thoughts on making and using functional tableware – “Art and life come together at a table. Using handmade dishes to set a table provides the opportunity to express private creativity: ephemeral and memorable. The social fabric, the relationships built one meal at a time becomes the real art and the meal has an energy of a higher order. Conversation is magic, bringing each individual at the table into a personal bond.”
DINE – The Market, a new neighborhood corner store, creates a dinner based on the range of products carried at the store.
