Oh My Nosh!

Three years ago, Lindsey and Karman met as dietetic interns at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. After graduating from the internship and beginning full-time jobs as Registered Dietitians, the two found themselves looking for a creative outlet to bring in some extra cash. The duo shared a passion for experimenting with recipes and competed in several recipe contests, but still they wanted something more. With encouragement from family and friends, Karman and Lindsey decided to take a leap of faith and apply as a food vendor for the 2011 Tomato Art Fest. And they were accepted! Since then, Karman and Lindsey have continued to grow their small food venture and bring healthy, handmade, and delicious eats to Nashville.  


 

The ‘Oh My Nosh!’ name was thought up during a brainstorming session at a local sandwich shop, and is reflective of the reaction they strive for when people try their tasty, one-of-a-kind creations (because everyone says ‘Oh My Nosh!’, right?). Oh My Nosh! continues to offer a healthified food experience specializing  in handcrafted and healthy eats that satisfy and fuel their Noshers, such as Caprese Salad Skewers, Kamut Puff Granola Squares, Pumpkin-Chia Bread, and Chocolate-Cranberry Clusters.

Sharing their creations with others is what keeps them motivated to do more events in Nashville, the city they now call home. Since their debut at the 2011 Tomato Art Fest, the two have participated in Porter Flea last June, the East-Centric Music Festival, and the 2012 Tomato Art Fest, where an estimated 28,000 people attended. Oh My Nosh! plans to continue serving up Noshes at local festivals and events, as well as smaller gigs. They pop up at events and gatherings around town, so be sure to like Oh My Nosh! on Facebook for the latest updates or email them at ohmynoshnash@gmail.com. As the great Julia Child said herself, “Find something you are passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.” Oh My Nosh! did exactly that in hopes to share their passion for healthy, delicious food with you soon! And for that, we salute them!

HeatSpine

    Heatspine may not cure your grandparent’s aching back, but it’s sure to send chills down your spine. Although there are many ways to describe Heatspine, we, The Yacht Club, understand Heatspine to be the photographic crumb trail from the life of Stephanie Thomas. Based out of Nashville, TN, Stephanie has truly found her passion to be in fine art, event, and portrait photography.

    Upon purchasing her first camera, at the age of 15 for an art class, she had never even considered any significant thought about photography in her entire life up until that point. Yet, since that moment and up until now, you can see her carrying a camera on her at all times. Unfailingly cemented to her side for 7 years, her camera has truly become a fixture of her person that one day showed up, and never left. 

    Stephanie’s transformation into a photographer has been an unceasing journey of learning and creating her own personal language. However, there are no words involved, only light. Stephanie spends her days in constant observance of what she sees, waiting for that fleeting moment of raw, unrefined beauty that shows itself to her. When she sees it, she captures those moments through her camera lens. With the press of a button, she immortalizes tiny moments of time that would otherwise be gone and forgotten. 

    Her romantic view of photography makes her relationship to her passion one of ambivalence. Her personal desire to express what she sees doesn't leave much room for conventionalism. She has no time for rules and regulations that most consider concrete truth. To Stephanie, the art of photography is strictly about setting forth her very own testimony of beauty with a single image, with one goal in mind… the possibility of inspiration. And for that, we salute you!
