Sun, Nov. 6, 2005 - Hot, Hot, Hot

Here's a bit more Photoshop fun. The flaming house was taken in 2003 during a Ferndale Fire Department training burn. Becky was shot in our studio, and then Photoshop was used to put the two together.

Sun, Nov. 13, 2005 - Major Progress

Here is the reason that there haven't been very many updates this month, I've been too busy working on getting our parlour back together. We're hosting the Splinter Group's November meeting on the 16th, and then Thanksgiving dinner with the family, so we really wanted to get this room livable again. As we were moving furniture back into the parlour, Lori decided to swap the dining room and the TV area, which meant even more furniture got moved. With lots of stuff moved, pulled out of storage, and cleaned, the house looks much better, and I think the new layout is going to work much better too. I was even able to repair the clock that landed on my head earlier, and it is a great joy to once again hear its bong on the hour and half hour.

Tue, Nov. 15, 2005 - Kelsey

Today I spent a couple of hours photographing Kelsey in dance poses for Laura East's Ferndale Dance Academny. Kelsey is one of the most upbeat kids I've ever seen, she is always smiling. And she can jump. Here she is in a more reflective mood.

Thu, Nov. 24, 2005 - Turkey Day

Here's the gang, at least those that were at the adult table. I was at the kid's table, along with Lauren, Lori Ann (Lori's niece) and Jennifer (Lori Ann's room-mate). I spent the morning gardening which was good because after supper, it started raining which ruled out the traditional walk-off-some-of-calories walk.

Fri, Nov. 25, 2005 - Artie's Feast

Artie saw all of us making pigs of ourselves all weekend, so he decided on having his own feast. He caught one of the biggest gophers I've seen in our yard and quickly devoured most of it. And then came in and pigged out at his food bowl. A true teenager. But at least he's earning his keep.

Sat, Nov. 26, 2005 - The Puzzle King

Derek was very serious about getting the puzzle put together. Using a 14mm lens give a unique perspective to this activity.

Sun, Nov. 27, 2005 - Snoozing

Linda is well known for sleeping in. Even when there is a gorgeous sunrise to be seen. I saw a glow on the edge of our window since the shades were down, but that was enough to make me jump up out of bed to see the sunrise. I guess that's a photographer's perspective. I shook Linda awake and asked her if she had noticed the sunrise. She mumbled something, and without even lifting her head, went back to sleep.

Mon, Nov. 28, 2005 - The Sunrise

For those that weren't in Ferndale, or chose to sleep through it, here is what our Thanksgiving morning sunrise looked like. Just one of the things we're thankful for.
