Stefano fabrizio DarolD Veronica MeeweS A freelance writer and photographer and the Austin editor for Zagat, Veronica Meewes will travel for food but always returns to Texas for breakfast tacos. Meewes wrote the Trends piece in our Space section (page 120). How did you decide on your career path? I've always loved cooking and writing and eating, so it just made sense when the three converged as I got older and began writing about food. Proudest career moment? When I published my cookbook this past fall, The Fish Sauce Cookbook: 50 Umami Packed Recipes from Around the Globe. Number-one place in Austin to take out-of-town guests? Our iconic Barton Springs and the colorful Hope Outdoor Gallery, which not only has an amazing view but an old-school Austin vibe. Following 13 years as a pro volleyball player in Italy, Stefano Fabrizio Darold turned to fashion photo- graphy. After a year at the European Art and Design Institute in Milan, he moved to LA and worked with some of the world's best photographers. Darold shot the Umlauf Sculpture Garden on page 110. What inspired you to pursue a career in photography? My life changed when I saw a beautiful black and white photo of a model by Horst P. Horst in Vogue Italia, and I just knew I would be a fashion photographer. What's your key to putting subjects at ease? It's all about my client. I connect with their energy, I listen carefully, and I make the session about them. They relax, and it shows in the pictures. Name your Austin loves. Deep Eddy Pool; since I have been eating organic, I hang out at Whole Foods; and W Hotel is fun for a night out.
