Blue Sky and Crows

Knowlesville Posted on December 26, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Crows

Yes that’s blue sky in the photo. Monday, the sky actually cleared between storms long enough to go out and take some pictures of Main Street. I was taking pictures of the top of the Abraxas building when these two …

Lights are on!

Knowlesville Posted on December 25, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Christmas Lights

After a nice breakfast of eggs benedict, Lori and I opened our presents. I guess the family figured out I was under a bit of stress lately, and all of the presents are greatly appreciated as they are all wonderful …

Such Luxury

Knowlesville Posted on December 24, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Chelsea

After two previous attempts that got squashed by events related to the storm, Chelsea made it back to the studio to finish modeling the outfit that she wore at Ivanhoe’s earlier. We also had her model a fur and velvet …

Ferndale’s Steeples

Knowlesville Posted on December 23, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Ferndale Sunset

Last night looked like it might be a nice sunset so I went out to take pictures. Still looking for that Christmas tree shot for next year’s Christmas cards. Didn’t get one last night because while I was rushing around …

The Cleanup Begins

Knowlesville Posted on December 22, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Silt from flooding

We had a full day without rain today! It gave me some time to start cleaning up some of the mess the storm left. My first task was to try to recover the power cords for the Chistmas lights, but …

Big Christmas Tree

Knowlesville Posted on December 21, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Ferndale Christmas Tree

I had intended to follow up the little Christmas tree shot taken earlier this month, with one of the big Christmas tree. However, the storm events delayed being able to take the picture until tonight. Even after the huge windstorms …

Surf’s Up

Knowlesville Posted on December 20, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Guthrie Creek

Not too much has changed since the last post, it’s still windy, wet, and wild. I think we’re setting a record for number of fire calls in one week. Yesterday’s action was a big rig that almost drove off of …

Got Water?

Knowlesville Posted on December 17, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Flooded Ferndale

I cheated on the entry for the 16th, as I posted it Sunday night. I stayed in the office after the parade to do the entry for the 15th. I’m telling you this because the events later that night are …

Got Christmas?

Knowlesville Posted on December 16, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Got Milk?

If any town has the right to plagarize the “Got Milk?” campaign, it would have to be Ferndale. Further, there aren’t any towns that I know of that have more Christmas spirit than Ferndale. So this entry in last nights …

Rowing down Main St.

Knowlesville Posted on December 15, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Ferndale Tractor Parade

Tonight was the annual lighted tractor parade, and like last year it was held in a downpour. But Ferndaler’s don’t care if it rains on their parade, they still have fun. This was my favorite entry, not only because of …

I promised myself a day off today so that I could put up our Christmas lights and go watch Katy’s ballet program. Heavy rain started falling yesterday, and it continued today. Even so, I spent the morning putting lights up …

Little Christmas Tree

Knowlesville Posted on December 12, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Studio Christmas Tree

I see that 10 days have gone by since my last update. During that time there’s been a few things that I’ve wanted to photograph, but either the lighting hasn’t cooperated, or I found myself without the camera. I need …

Chelsea II

Knowlesville Posted on December 2, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Chelsea

During my fire department physical earlier this year I met Chelsea as she was taking my blood pressure. Noting that she was very petite I mentioned Lori’s clothing collection and asked her if she would be interested in modeling. So …

Christmas Tree Lighting

With a good start to the holiday season, Ferndale had their annual tree lighting ceremony tonight, under clear skies. Quite a desparture from last year, when it absolutely poured right at the beginning of the ceremony, and continued right up …

Relaxing with Meg

Knowlesville Posted on November 29, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Meg

This is something that I just haven’t had much of a chance to do lately, lie on the futon and scratch Meg’s soft white underbelly. It is certainly a nice way to end the day.

Sunset from Fortuna

Today I went looking for the Women’s Federation Grove to scope out a site for a family picture I am taking tomorrow. This grove is just off of The Avenue of the Giants, but it is a bit hard to …

Jessica Playing Dress Up

Knowlesville Posted on November 22, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Jessica

This picture should also suit the tastes of our testosterone influenced critics. Although it features men’s clothing, there are no hairy legs to be seen. In fact I have it on good authority that Jessica did shave her legs, so …

Back to Women

Knowlesville Posted on November 21, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Boudoir Portrait

I received a complaint that we featured a picture of a guy with hairy legs. The person complaining was obviously a male, but if you look back at the picture in question, you will see that he was paying attention …

Sunset on Main St.

Knowlesville Posted on November 16, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Main Street Sunset

Every once in awhile, I’m reminded of what I really miss about working at home. One big benefit that I miss is the views, especially at sunset. Tonight, just before I was sitting down to type this, I decided to …

Champagne at the Fountain

Knowlesville Posted on November 12, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Danah & Joel at the Gingerbread

Another shot from the Gingerbread Mansion. Here, Danah and Joel sip their champagne in front of the fire. What a peaceful, relaxing scene it was. At least after we got the fire alarm to stop going off. You see the …

Katy's Ballet Photo

Photoshoot #4 with Katy, this time back in the studio. Katy studies ballet and this was one shot we both wanted to do. Don’t have a photo for this one, but it’s a funny story that bears repeating, even without …

Knowlesville Posted on November 8, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Cannas

We went more than 7 months without any real rain, and then to remind us that winter is coming we got hit with a huge storm right off the bat. High winds, several inches of rain, lighting and thunder, the …

This photo is the front porch, and Maxine Goff is sitting on the left. Today I had my ride along with an ambulance crew as part of my EMT class requirements. Unfortunately for me, everybody decided to stay safe and …

Big Check

Knowlesville Posted on November 3, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Check

Today Lori received a much better check than the one we received yesterday, her advance fee for doing the books. It’s not on the scale of Michael Crighton, but it’s something.

Little Check

Knowlesville Posted on November 2, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019

We’ve spent a lot of money the last few months getting the studio and gallery running. But today we received this huge check from our former mortgage bank so all our money worries are over. Humboldt Bank recently sold our …

The second outfit Katy tried on was owned by the same lady originally, and so it featured the same 22″ waist measurement. It has some of the neatest embroidery on the front. It is also nice that the fabric is …
