My image illustrating the “Kringle 3000 Hot Dog” recipe from my Unofficial Elf Cookbook has been selected for inclusion in the American Photography 41 book. This is the 8th time that I have won the award.

This image of loaded hot dogs were inspired by Santa’s sleigh, powered by the mighty Kringle 3000 engine, that Santa relies on for his epic trek across the globe in the movie “Elf”.

Thank you to the staff and judges at AP-AI, and to the amazing team at Media Lab Books who trusted me to write and photograph The Unofficial Elf Cookbook.
