Tide Fools

Knowlesville Posted on May 27, 2002 by MattApril 13, 2019
Kinetic Sculpture Race finish line

The official name of the “Big Lobster Thingy” was Tide Fools. The crew that was pedaling it all wore these great squid costumes. At least I think they were squid. After the race they were trying to correct the radio …

Sailing

Knowlesville Posted on May 26, 2002 by MattApril 13, 2019
Sailing down the highway

It probably sounded like a good idea. Put a bunch of sails on your vehicle and let the wind do the work. However, leaving Arcata, there was a stiff headwind, and the team didn’t seem to think about lowering the …

What a Studly Building

Knowlesville Posted on May 21, 2002 by MattApril 14, 2019
Main Street Firewall

I think I’ve mentioned before the contruction of our walls in our 1888 Victorian, that they are made up of redwood 1″x10″. No lathe and plaster here. Well the commercial buildings on Main Street take that a step further. Instead …

Barn Owl

Barn Owl

Just as you come into Ferndale, on the right hand side there sits a large half barn. Not that half of it fell down, it was just built that way. This particular example must have been quite fancy in its …

Chimney problem

Most of yesterday was spent doing demolition in the shop on Main Street. Peeling back the layers was fun, but the new owner got her first lesson in owning a historic building; things are usually worse than they look. Case …

Foxglove

Enough cars for the week, I’m probably boring the women. So here’s some pretty flowers. But not any pretty flowers, this is a foxglove that came directly from Grandma’s garden, so it is special. Our garden is still on hold …

As I was walking up to this rather unique expression of automotive art, these two kids came running up to it from the other direction. Their dad followed shortly, commenting, “Somehow I knew you guys would pick this one.” I …

This seems to be Ricky’s latest favorite place to sleep. The moose are also some of Maren’s favorite things to play with when she comes over, but she thinks they’re cows.

1930s Silk Lingerie

While I was photographing Kelsey, Jessica W. came over to pick up her prints from the Benbow session. Since the lights were already set up we invited her back to model a few of the 20s and 30s lingerie pieces …

Kelsey

Knowlesville Posted on May 7, 2002 by MattApril 13, 2019
Kelsey

I met Kelsey while she was modeling for some hair product shots that Greg was photographing. Since she is very petite (5′-1″) I knew she would be ideal for some of Lori’s really tiny Victorian garments. One was this corset, …

Deer eating willows

Here we have totally appropriate deer behavior, munching on the abundant supply of willow trees that line the creek. This morning both Galen and Ricky were pretty interested in keeping the deer out of our yard, and surprisingly, the deer …

Round Up

Lori and I were invited out to Phil Dwight’s ranch to watch them mark this year’s crop of calves. Unfortunately Lori woke up in the middle of the night with a really queasy stomach, so she stayed home. I don’t …
