Ugly in Pink

Knowlesville Posted on September 29, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Stripping Wallpaper

I spent the whole weekend stripping the wall paper in the room that’s going to be my office. Got rid of the ugly black, pink and green wallpaper, only to reveal beautiful pink walls. I can’t wait until that bit …

Best Laid Plans…

Ferndale at Dusk

Phil Ostler had a scissor lift in town so he could clean and repair gutters, and since it was a full moon last night I thought it would be a great opportunity to take some photos from a unique position. …

Housing Crunch

Knowlesville Posted on September 21, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Ricky & Meg

There’s a lot of places in our house for a comfortable nap if you’re a cat. But apparently this one must be pretty special, as Meg and Ricky both decided to spend the afternoon here.

Household Hazards

Knowlesville Posted on September 20, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Pumpkin Spider

This is the variety of spider that makes life in Ferndale so difficult this time of year. I wish I knew what they were, not because I’m worried they’re poisonous, but if I knew their name, I could curse at …

Praying Mantis

Spotted another (or possibly the same) praying mantis in the yard today, and this time I had my SLR and a macro lens handy.They do like hanging upside down. I tried turning it around to get a better picture of …

The Golden State Building

Knowlesville Posted on September 17, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Golden State Building

Here’s the outside of the building. You should all recognize it as the big building you see on the left just as you come into Ferndale. Until it was recently restored by DCI, it was a large pigeon roost. It …

Natural Light

Knowlesville Posted on September 16, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Studio

The other feature of the new studio I’m really looking forward to exploring is working with natural light indoors. The studio has three large windows which make it enjoyable to work in when not shooting as they provide lots of …

The New Digs

Knowlesville Posted on September 15, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
New Studio

I finally remembered to grab a shot of the new studio today. Not a very professional shot, and as you’ve probably figured out by now, I take snapshots just like everyone else. Anyway, it does show how much larger the …

Spiders

It’s time once again for the spiders in our yard to start putting up the Halloween decorations. This time of year you need to have a stick handy whenever you go through an exterior door because that’s one of their …

7 Years of Bad Luck (part 2)

Knowlesville Posted on September 9, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Broken Mirror

During the garage sale we set the desk out on the driveway to catch the attention of people driving by. Unfortunately, it caught the attention of the wind as it picked up suddenly, and the tri-fold mirror came crashing down. …

Praying Mantis

Knowlesville Posted on September 8, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Praying Mantis

While we were having our garage sale I was making use of the time cleaning up the iris bed by the driveway. A huge grasshopper caught my eye, but on closer inspection I realized it was a praying mantis. Never …

Ferndale has a city wide garage sale weekend and we had lots of stuff we needed to get rid of. Lori convinced me to get rid of our antique bedroom set that we bought when we got our first old …

Hollyhocks

Knowlesville Posted on September 6, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Hollyhocks

Another plant that I had tried growing from seed several times in San Jose was hollyhocks. It took me awhile to figure out that they look like a very common weed when they start, and I would usually end up …

Johnny Jump Ups

Johnny Jump Ups

Well you can hardly stop Johnny Jump Ups, so I guess it’s a good thing they are also one of Lori’s favorites.

Lavender

Knowlesville Posted on September 4, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Lavender

Lori is really happy to have her lavender blooming. Similar to my lupine triumph, Lori had tried several times to plant lavender, but kept losing them to the winter floods. Every once in awhile we find something that makes it …

Lupines

Knowlesville Posted on September 3, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Lupines

I wasn’t expecting the lupines to bloom so quickly. The seed package that we used was a mixed color assortment, but so far the colors that have bloomed coordinate well with the neighboring plants. It’s nice to finally have some …

Lori’s made good progress on her garden this year. It’s really starting to fill in and look nice. The bees and butterflies are loving it too.

So Long

Knowlesville Posted on September 1, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Empty Studio

All done with moving out of my Main Street studio. It wasn’t as bad as leaving our house on Cleaves, but it sort of felt the same. Change is good though, and I’m looking forward to shooting in the new …
