Halloween morning in Ferndale sees a procession of tiny kids making their way through the commercial district trick or treating. First in line was Raggedy Ann and it was nice seeing a few parents are still into making costumes.
As I was photographing this magnificent tree, I couldn’t help but notice that even the gentlest of breezes was causing a flurry of leaves to fall, as if it knew it needed to get undressed before the rains start. At …
Our glorious fall weather continued this weekend, so once again I got the KLR out. Made a run down Avenue of the Giants to drop off some photos to the Redcrest Resort and the Benbow Inn. Then on the way …
Since we have been blessed with spectacular weather this weekend, I called up Sarah to see if she would be available for the promised mermaid at the beach shoot. We were just making plans for it when I got a …
I wish I could say that this was me. Unfortunately, my quad has been sitting in the garage with a dead battery from lack of use during the period that the garage was being built. Something I need to take …
People thought I was crazy when I stripped our house in San Jose back to bare wood. Well how would you like this project? The Catholic Church in Ferndale needed a new paint job and after 100+ years, it was …
Here’s another view of her hard work. Plants are starting to fill in, and it’s starting to look more like a garden rather than a nursery. Now it’s up to me to make sure the next flood control project is …

A couple of weeks ago, I showed you the aerial view of this project, here’s the ground view. This is going to be an ongoing project I can see, because I can’t get much done at one time before my …
Perfect weather today for a motorcycle trip, and since it might be the last good weekend for a while, I decided I better take advantage of it. I rode out Hwy 36 to Forest Road 23 and then Forest Road …
This is the next evolution in my draping series. Back in July when I did the draping shoot with Katy, I had brought to the studio a vintage lace table cloth that we had on the dining room table at …
Melaine had told me her waist measurement was 26″ before the shoot, so I had picked corsets that were 23-24″ for the shoot, as usually a 2″ reduction is about right. But the two Victorian corsets that I picked out …
Here Melaine is modeling the first vintage dress that I bought for Lori which really started the collection. I had photographed Lori wearing this dress in the very first photoshoot that I did when I bought my first studio flash …
Towards the end of the fair, I was mentioning to Lori that with all of the women walking by our booth the whole week, I still hadn’t seen a single woman who could model for a photo I’ve been dreaming …
