There’s a lot of different types of cows in Ferndale, both on the dairy side and the beef side. But when these animals appeared in one field along the highway coming into town it caused quite a stir. Even ranchers …
Still working on the HALO shoot today. Finished up with a group photo. Let’s have the tallest in the back row. If I had had a camera with me on the way home yesterday, today’s picture would have been a …
Today I started a rush project for HALO which is an electronics company that’s been a client back from the Dataphile days. They make magnetics such as transformers and isolators. Usually what they send me is packaged like the familiar …
One of the reasons that January was a slow month for Knowlesville updates, is that Lori and I were spending a lot of time playing with her Christmas present, the fourth installment of Myst. We finally finished it last night, …
Ok so how many of you know the difference between a salamander and a newt? I didn’t. While moving the plastic in our yard to cover a new section of weeds, I came across this large salamander. It was about …
Today I finished up my S130 firefighting class (wildland firefighting) and had a few moments at home before we rushed up to Eureka for Art’s Alive. The showing went well, with the store pretty crowded most of the night.
For the last few months, Lori has been working part time at an office in Eureka. Today was her last day there and since I was up in Eureka hanging my pictures for tomorrow’s Art’s Alive, I decided to stop …
Lori received a new catalog from Fairchild Publishers today, and right there in a two page spread was the announcement of her soon to be published books! Pretty cool to see it, even if they don’t have the covers ready.
Someone recently asked me if I had any pictures of the night herons that roost in the tree by the Gumdrop House. She really wanted pictures of them as they started flying off. Well, they don’t call them night herons …
As you may have noticed, the camera hasn’t been out much lately. Last weekend I was taking a wildland fire training class, and I just haven’t been able to sneek out of the office to do any photography. I did …
We’ve been hard at work in the laboratory this week. You know those x-ray glasses that are advertised in comic books? Well they don’t work. But we did develop this device that looks like an antique frame that when you …
The fire department drill this month was on search and rescue. The bump on my head was still sore so I didn’t feel like putting on a mask and helmet. I thought it would be cool to take pictures of …
This is one of the photos that will be in my Art’s Alive show. The show opens Feb 5th at Good Relations in Eureka. I exhibited there a couple of years ago, but during the opening we were down in …
I now know what it feels like to get really clocked. Today I had two projects that I wanted to complete. First was replacing the headlight that we lost on the way back from San Jose. I guess complaining about …
Mabel and I worked tonight on a photo for my upcoming show for February’s Art’s Alive. This isn’t it. After a lot of planning, the shot for the show failed, for technical reasons. Not the camera’s fault either, we had …
The lack of pictures this month has been due to weather and vacation. We had a nice trip down to San Jose to visit the family. Rained all the way down and back, but the only vehicular casualty this time …
