Lady at the Beach
After Katie and I finished taking pictures at Big Lagoon, we went to a beach in Trinidad. I think it was the one where Luke is found in The Majestic. The beach had very hard, smooth sand, and when wet … Continue reading →

Lady of the Lake
Katie, who I featured earlier, wanted to work on her portfolio too, and I was happy to oblige. So last Sunday we went up to Trinidad and Stone Lagoon to take some pictures. Since we had been having a mighty … Continue reading →
Natalya
Natalya and I planned the shoot for a night with a full moon because I had this high concept for a picture. The concept ended up a bust, I should have checked the almanac a little better to find out … Continue reading →
The Fainting Couch
This weekend while I was showing you fire pictures, I was really taking a rare weekend off from working on the studio, and instead worked in the studio. Natalya saw my work on a modeling web site and came up … Continue reading →
The Golden Gate
While making the coffee this morning, Lori exclaimed that the spiders were building the Golden Gate bridge in our backyard. Not sure what she meant by that, I took a look, and sure enough, there was a silk replica of … Continue reading →
Let her rip!
Finally, at the end of the drill, we let it burn, and concentrated mainly on protecting the surrounding area, and working the fire so that the building collapsed in on itself. At this point you could roast marshmellows from about … Continue reading →
I think I’ll wait outside

First Shoot
We still have more work to do in the studio, and we’re still waiting for the new lights to arrive, but I had this dress on loan so Jessica and I took the studio through a trial run. I wanted … Continue reading →
It’s a Gallery!
Still more pictures were hung today, but I need more. It is fun though having this much room to display my work. The plant in the foreground was brought over by the folks at Ferndale Meat Company to welcome us … Continue reading →
Jessica’s First Day
Today was Jessica’s first day as my employee, also meaning that this was the first day I was boss. Some of the perks of being boss are that new employees bring you a Moo Bar. (Yum, Yum) Jessica’s first day … Continue reading →
The Poster
I received several inquiries on what poster Grandma was selling. For Ferndale’s Sesquicentennial celebration I had a poster of one of my Ferndale photos printed. I wanted to have something to sell that weekend. I still have the poster in … Continue reading →
Moving In
I hated yesterday’s picture so much that as soon as I located my wide angle lense in the boxes of stuff I brought over, I took another one. I still need to paint the wall on the left, but the … Continue reading →
My New Office
Well you haven’t heard from me lately for several reasons. First, I’m still working on the gallery, more on that later. Second, Grandma has been visiting with us the last week. I should have taken pictures during her visit, but … Continue reading →
