One of my assignments today was to photograph a tiny electronic device. What makes this device unique for the customer is it has an extended temperature range where it can function safely. Did I mention it is also a tiny … Continue reading →
While I was taking the pictures of Jessica and her family last week, I got the idea for this shot, which we did tonight. When Jessica came over tonight, she brought over a book, “California Couture”, which includes three pictures … Continue reading →
Sometime last month Lori and I went to the Ingomar Club for a new member welcome and since I also had to pick up my Triumph from the dealer, I went to the club on the Triumph. That was a … Continue reading →
Today’s picture probably makes you think it is a moonrise. Actually, it is a sunset. I was outside gettting my motorcycle ready for tomorrow’s ride when I noticed the sun just breaking through the fog that was rolling in. So … Continue reading →
Another shot from yesterday’s motocross action. This one gives you a better idea of how large the jump really is. The rider looked like he was about 17 years old and he was pretty talented. I’m filling out more paperwork … Continue reading →
This morning we awoke to light rain and heavy fog and it looked like it was going to be an indoor day. Galen complained all morning about not being able to go outside. I spent the morning cleaning the garage … Continue reading →

This morning when I awoke I was sad to see that it was so dark and yet it was time to get up. I was thinking I really hated this time of year. Then I got into the kitchen and … Continue reading →
After church (Grandma was very persuasive) we potted up a few foxglove plants to take home, played one more game of pinochle, and then it was time to head back home. Fortunately the drive to Myrtle Creek is much easier … Continue reading →
I have a couple of rolls of film I’ve been trying to finish, so I actually shot some real film this weekend. That means I need to get it developed before I can share the pictures. So I will have … Continue reading →
Lori and I took off around noon for Grandma’s house. Over the bridge and through the woods we went. Lori promised that she wouldn’t complain about me driving too fast if she got to drive on the way home. She … Continue reading →
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Lori got her long awaited Myst III game so we’ve been busy playing that at night.
Continue reading →Sunday’s parade I actually found out about after it happened. I was sitting in my office working when I noticed firetrucks driving down Grizzly Bluff with their red lights on. I thought that was odd because I didn’t hear the … Continue reading →
Ferndale is really into having parades. This weekend we actually had two parades, one on Saturday and another on Sunday. Saturday’s parade was the homecoming parade, and featured the king and queen and the court being driven down Main Street … Continue reading →
We’ve been having excellent weather the last few days, probably the best string of warm weather since we’ve moved here. Got out the shorts and t-shirts, played in the garden, and went for a lot of motorcycle rides. Greg, a … Continue reading →
If Ricky had ever graduated from high school, he certainly would have been voted class clown. He always manages to be doing something rather silly. Here he’s doing his impersonation of ET, hiding among the stuffed animals. 20 moose and … Continue reading →
While on our tour of the William’s Creek Water Co. reservoir, our host pointed out some Stinging Nettle plants. Having encountered the stinging nettle in England, I made sure I gave the plants a wide berth. Unfortunately, one little girl … Continue reading →
To continue our tour of the Williams Creek Water Co. facilities, today’s picture shows you the reservoir. Sorry, no water skiing allowed. Not sure what that green thing is floating in the water. Maybe I should call Erin Brokovich.
Continue reading →This was a bad week for remembering important birthdays. As Melissa and Emily know by now, their Uncle Matt more often than not sends them a belated birthday card. I can now add Lauren to this tradition. Melissa and Lauren, … Continue reading →
Lori and I didn’t have any plans for today so we decided to explore. First we went to the Fort Humboldt state park which didn’t take as much time to explore as I thought it would. So we ended up … Continue reading →
After finishing up the shoot with Lilli in the morning, Lori and I went on the Ferndale home tour. They had two old houses, two new houses, one hotel (the Ivanhoe) and one Victorian apartment. The apartment was the most … Continue reading →
Today was supposed to be the big photoshoot on the beach. Unfortunately I found out yesterday that today was a statewide beach cleanup day so that didn’t work out. Instead we went back to one of my favorite spots, Lost … Continue reading →
This weekend I am hiring a model to do several photoshoots and one that I had planned was going to take place on the far end of Centerville Beach where there is a bunch of huge pieces of driftwood. I … Continue reading →
Every web site today offers pictures of planes flying through buildings. I’ve had enough. I thought I would offer something a little more peaceful. This picture is a watering hole near Honeydew. I only wish I could have offered the … Continue reading →
This weekend in Fortuna there is a Civil War reenactment going on, and they had a Ball after all the men were done slaughtering each other. So Lori and I, along with Jessica and Lowell got dressed up and went … Continue reading →
The Ferndale Rep> started their 30th season today with a play called “Love Letters”. A two person play, it starred René Auberjonois and Marilyn McCormick. The play is about two friends letters that are being read back and forth, starting … Continue reading →
Today’s picture was taken during the same session as yesterday’s. I was having fun making her laugh but if you didn’t know it, you might suspect that she was doing an impression of the doll from the Chuckie series of … Continue reading →
Lori and Jessica have been trying to get together for months to have Jessica practice patternmaking using the parts of Lori’s book that have been written so far. First it was Jessica being busy with the Majestic, and then Lori … Continue reading →
The final day of our motorcycle trilogy was spent riding the Bear River Ridge loop. This is a shorter ride, only about 40 miles total. We then followed that up by taking the KLX and the ATV down to the … Continue reading →
Today’s ride took Blake and I on Hwy 36 to Red Bluff, Platina Rd to Redding, and then 299 back to Eureka. Just over 400 miles of riding to end up back where we started. Hwy 36 is probably the … Continue reading →
Blake, one of the guys I went to Colorado with, came up for the labor day weekend. Today we rode Avenue of the Giants, and then did the Lost Coast loop. About 140 miles to end up back where we … Continue reading →
