Unidentified Harmless Snake
As I moved on with the rototiller to the next patch, I disturbed another guest in our garden. As far as I know this is some type of garter snake. When I picked it up, it left a real musky … Continue reading →

The Failed Rescue Attempt
I’m in the process of moving some iris around and pulled up some of the black plastic I had in the back for weed control. Underneath was a large ant colony, with several large clusters of eggs. Most of the … Continue reading →
Coming Along
The weekend ended doing a session with a mother and her two children. She had seen one of the photos of Jessica and Maren and wanted something similar. Between 2 days with Alissa, and the family shoot, I took over … Continue reading →
Alissa at the Gingerbread
Today was spent doing several photoshoots with Alissa. We went out by the Van Duzen river near Bridgeville to shoot and then came back to Ferndale to shoot at the Empire Suite at the Gingerbread Mansion. I had arranged for … Continue reading →
Alissa at the Victorian Inn
I’m putting together some package deals with the local inns to feature vintage clothing portraits so I’ve been working getting samples for web sites and room info packets. This weekend I hired Allisa, a professional model, to get a bunch … Continue reading →
Galen in the garden
Ricky does more cute things than Galen, and so he gets featured as picture of the day more often than his brother. I actually took this picture earlier this week to help alleviate that imbalance, and I’m showing it today … Continue reading →
Driving #3
Saturday morning I had more practice driving a fire truck, this time Company 3’s. Terry, who is also a probationary member, is about a month ahead of me, but we both took turns driving the truck around the parking lot … Continue reading →
At least it wasn’t a Friday
The thirteenth happened to be very unlucky for the people who owned this house/church in Loleta. An unattended fire in a wood stove started a house fire, and the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department was called to assist in putting it … Continue reading →
Mary, our hairdresser
We were informed today by Mary, our hairdresser, that yesterday’s solar eclipse was best around 5:15. We didn’t look at it until around 6:30 so maybe there was more to it than we thought. The Eureka newspaper (called locally the … Continue reading →
You’re so vain, well sort of
We had a request for a solar eclipse picture. So how bright is the sun? Well this shot was taken at 1/2000 @ f22, with a 4x neutral density filter and two gradient filters. That wasn’t enough, so I ended … Continue reading →
Ricky’s Jail
Everyonce in awhile we have to have a Ricky picture just because he’s so darn cute. Here’s his latest favorite spot to hang out when he’s outside.
Sandblasted
Tonight I went out with two girls at once, neither of them my wife. Janne, (pictured) and Jessica D. went with me to get their pictures taken out at the coast. Jessica I was doing for a favor, and Janne … Continue reading →
Just passing through (We hope!)
Sorry for the quality of today’s shot but I had a hard time getting the subject to pose where there was decent lighting. We’ve seen a couple of skunks in the yard this week, and fortunately they seem to be … Continue reading →
Hello Gertrude!
I came home from a firecall today to find a two point buck back by the garage. I ran inside and grabbed the 500mm lense and camera expecting to get a great picture of it. Unfortunately the batteries died just … Continue reading →
Slow as a snail
Today was Ferndale’s annual pet parade, and this year it was quite a bit longer than last year’s. People in Ferndale sure have a great sense of humor! Maren was dressed as a cat, and was pulled along by Emily. … Continue reading →
