Well-known Dallas based photographer, Dick Patrick, introduced a new body of work titled “Patsy” at an event for clients, family and friends held Friday, February 23 at his 10,000 square foot photography studio in Dallas.
The work, bound in an 80-page case-bound book designed by Matchbox Studio, with food styling by award-winning stylist Paige Fletcher, copy writing by Amy Bickers, and printed by Broadnax on paper by Neenah, tells the story of Dick Patrick’s mother, Patsy. Using old family photographs and engaging storytelling, the book is the story of Patsy’s life, beginning with her years growing up in a Mississippi family of thirteen during the Great Depression. Patrick’s sumptuous food photography beautifully portrays the Southern staples his mother favors, usually made from ingredients from the family’s backyard garden.
The book is also a treasure trove of favorite family recipes. A wonderful tribute to Dick Patrick’s family, “Patsy” showcases his ability to make mouth-watering images using even the simplest ingredients.
Guests at the introductory event enjoyed a buffet featuring recipes from “Patsy” by Babe’s Chicken Dinner House and beer from Revolver Brewery of Granbury, Texas. Prints of the beautiful food photography from the book were offered for sale, with proceeds going to the North Texas Food Bank.
Dick Patrick’s studio is fresh from two years of renovation. “We focused on client comfort,” Dick Patrick says, “The building offers a natural light lobby and conference room, as well as an area for clients to work while keeping an eye on the set. The lounge has a full-sized shuffleboard, a Pac Man machine, and large screen TV.
“The kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional. The space was designed for maximum efficiency by food stylists for food stylists, and features an oversized island and tons of refrigeration and freezer storage. There’s even a frying station with a commercial vent hood.”
With room for large and/or multiple sets, the shooting space is huge and the adjacent “Plate Room” offers convenient access to hundreds of dinnerware props.
In the back of the building there’s a fully equipped woodshop, where sets and props are made, modified, and stored.
The studio, just off Highway I-35, is easily accessible from DFW Airport, Love Field, and Downtown Dallas.

Stephen Arnold Music Collaborates With WETA to Create a Memorable and Adaptable Sonic Brand
WETA Arts, the award-winning, magazine-style arts and culture series returns for its 10th season on the PBS flagship station with an elegant new sound. The latest collaboration between WETA, PBS’s Washington DC-based flagship station, and Stephen Arnold Music (SAM), the new music package reflects the show’s insightful take on DC’s diverse art scene in an understated and memorable way. “It’s a unique sound,” says WETA creative director Dylan Wilbur. “There’s a lovely calmness to it that perfectly complements the show’s new art deco visual look. I first listened to SAM’s demo while driving in my car. I hit play and instantly fell in love. I thought, wow, that’s beautiful.” WETA Arts is also the first show to leverage WETA’s first ever sonic branding. Created by SAM, the world leader in sonic branding, last year, the classically inspired signature sound is designed to give WETA a unified, instantly recognizable audio identity across each of its sub-brands and all touch points, broadcast and digital. It can be heard in different stylistic and mood treatments in promos, IDs, teasers and other marketing media for WETA PBS, WETA UK, WETA PBS Kids, WETA World, WETA Metro, and WETA Classical. “The sonic branding evokes our values: trust, intelligence, quality and enrichment,” observes Wilbur. “WETA is different from commercial broadcasters in that many of our viewers are also supporters. We wanted to convey the pride of ownership they feel for the station.” WETA’s sonic branding is also integrated into Signal in the Static, a longform spot celebrating the station’s historic leadership in news, documentary and educational programming. Airing in prime time through the fall political season, the spot features clips from... Read More
