As the nights start getting colder, Lori felt sorry for Artie. Meg and Ricky usually sleep all curled up together, but Meg is not about to share her warmth with some cat that didn’t eminate from her womb. So Artie …
I was experimenting with shutterspeeds and flash with Ayrica again. At least I was until one of my lights decided to stop working. Well it lasted 5 years, better than a lot of electronics these days.
The day started out cold and wet, with even a short hailstorm, but the practice burn went down as scheduled. My plan for the day was to run the engine most of the day, and take one trip into the …
In preparation for our practice burn this weekend, we unloaded a semi-trailer of pallets into the house. Like an old Victorian needs help burning. Actually, the pallets are used to give us something more to work on before the house …
Mabel saw some of my pirate shots at the fair and mentioned she wanted to dress up as a pirate for Halloween. So after I finished with Ayrica’s shoot we got Mabel dressed up in the pirate gear, including the …
My photography intern from last summer who turned model (Leap of Faith) is back in Humboldt County going to college now. She looked so great in the vintage wedding dress we used in that photo that I wanted to shoot …
I was thinking there wouldn’t be much to redoing the office because it was pretty much cosmetic. However, when we got the old wallpaper off it was obvious we had had some water damage under the window. It was hard …
Artie has taken over the position of class clown that Ricky used to hold. Today’s entertainment was him trying to jump on the back of my chair while I was sitting in front of the computer working. He missed and …
Heidi finally decided what to do with her car so we drove back down to Cloverdale. She ended up selling it to the towing company for a few hundred dollars over what she owed for the towing and storage charges. …
While we were trying to figure out how to handle her wrecked car, we decided to head out to Petrolia for a photoshoot at the cemetery since I had to go out that way anyways for a portait session. This …
After going down Friday night to pick her up out of the hospital it was too late to drive back to Ferndale. We went back this morning and on the way stopped so Heidi could take some photos of the …
A couple of months ago Heidi and I saw each other’s portfolios on the internet and wanted to work with each other. Only problem was we live at opposite ends of the state. But she said she could manage a …
Phil came back today to put the finishing touches on the ceiling. We were trying to decide what paper to put in the cove when his wife Diane suggested the fill we used in the bay window. Not only did …
Earl Thomas was back in the studio today, this time to get promo shots with the gospel choir he is touring with. While I was photographing the four of them they gave me a mini concert. Quite a nice fringe …
Once they finished putting up the borders, it was very apparent that the light fixture is going to have to be moved so that it will be visually centered with the wallpaper, even if that means it won’t really be …
In addition to the ugly pink walls, the office also had a very ugly green ceiling. About half of it was covered by paint last month, but today the fun part started. Phil and Diane came over and started putting …
I met Valerie at the fair, as she was one of the dairy princesses handing out the ice cream samples at the Humboldt Creamery booth that was next to ours. Valerie impressed me by staying cheerful throughout the fair, something …
