Today the Rep had a big 35th Anniversary festival, and one part of that was assembling alumni in the theatre for a group shot. Lighting this had me a bit puzzled as the theatres walls and especially the ceiling aren’t … Continue reading →
Greg Rumney had a macro lens he wasn’t using, and I had two hard drives I wasn’t using. He needed something to back up his computer, so it seemed like a good trade. Today while I was at home still … Continue reading →
Last week I had what seemed to be a cold, and just as it seemed like I was getting over that I came down with the flu that’s also been making its way around the county. Spent a couple days … Continue reading →
A couple of years ago while the family was at Mom’s (I think it was when Grandma moved to San Jose), Melody and I were weeding out in the back yard, and I mentioned that I always liked the Kerria … Continue reading →
The next show the Ferndale Rep is doing is Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is a natural, because what few people realize, is that most of the dairy farmers are into cross-dressing. Yeah, right. I’m taking the lobby shots for … Continue reading →
Finally fell of the fence in deciding what to replace my dead Fuji S1 with. Ordered a Nikon D80 last week and it arrived yesterday. I got a chance to play with it today and the most noticeable thing about … Continue reading →
This pair of kitties was recently adopted by Valley Lumber as shop cats. I guess they’re taking their work seriously and now perform full safety inspections of the work vehicles each morning. Checking the tread depth is dangerous work, but … Continue reading →
With the snowpack quickly melting in the heat, there were lots of cascades along the route during my ride yesterday. This one was very pretty. I only had my little Pentax with me and no tripod so I couldn’t do … Continue reading →
Today was gorgeous so I figured it was time to really get the Sprint ST out on the open road and test the new tires and seat out. Rode out Highway 36 all the way to Red Bluff and back. … Continue reading →
With Lori being temporarily out of work I’ve been accepting jobs I wouldn’t normally relish. Such as photographing manholes. For lawyers. I was referred by a friend for this job, which was to document this manhole for an upcoming personal … Continue reading →
Most of the snow photos were almost monochromatic so I liked how they looked in black and white better. Funny, I never cared much for black and white photography until I started shooting digital. Now I find I tend to … Continue reading →
Just as I was getting ready to take this photo the snow started sliding off of the roof of the little barn. I would have liked to caught that, but I was still setting up the camera.
Continue reading →Another photo from Thursday, this is part of the Whatcheer Ranch. If you know the area, you know they were being sarcastic when they named it that. Did look pretty cheerful this morning though. I saw this on the way … Continue reading →
In the area where water drains into Kinman Pond there are tufts of grass growing that collected the snow and made very interesting patterns. Right when I was photographing this shot the sun came out full burst and provided the … Continue reading →
When it snows in the local hills, this is one of my favorite places to go take pictures, Kinman Pond. Named for Seth Kinman, who was famous for making chairs out of antlers, the pond is located up in the … Continue reading →
