Future Ballerinas

Knowlesville Posted on June 24, 2008 by MattJune 14, 2019
Future ballerinas

Every year one of the special moments of the production is the numbers with the youngest ballerinas. You just can’t help but go “ahhh” when there are a bunch of two foot tall ballerinas on stage.

Before Natalie and Dave left for their ride back to Oakland, we had time for a short shoot in the studio. Natalie wanted to do a corset shot, and when she mentioned she loved hats, well, I had to pull …

After going almost 6 months without working with any models, I felt blessed to work with 3 of my favorite models this month. I first worked with Natalie last December and we had corresponded since then throwing ideas back and …

Melaine

Two years ago I met Melaine at the fair, and we did a couple of shoots together that were really fun. I had hoped to work with her some more but she doesn’t live in Humboldt County, and I lost …

Friday The 13th

Knowlesville Posted on June 13, 2008 by MattJune 14, 2019
Completed Gable

Probably not a good day numerically to be up on ladders and scaffolding, but we had the best weather all week so again I took most of the day off to paint. In addition to finishing the first coat of …

Back On The Fence

Knowlesville Posted on June 12, 2008 by MattJune 14, 2019
Rose Arbor

With the parlor on hold until I get my graining lesson, and the weather turning nice, my attention got focused on outdoor projects. First on the list is to get the fence arbor brackets up that I’ve been working on. …

Mostly the house is using the same colors as the barn, with a few additions, although the body and accent colors have been switched between the two buildings. One addition to the house is a blue, which you can see …

What’s with the Temperature?

Knowlesville Posted on June 11, 2008 by MattJune 14, 2019
Painting the front

The last few days have been nice and clear, most likely because the wind has been keeping the fog out. But it’s been a cold wind. Temps have been getting down into the 30s at night, and barely getting above …

Painting the Fish Scales

Knowlesville Posted on June 10, 2008 by MattJune 14, 2019
Painting Gable

Like many Victorians, our bay window gables feature fish scale shingles. I tell you, these are a real pain to paint. If there were any more of them on our house I’d be breaking out the paint sprayer instead of …

Woodgraining

Today Lori and I started in on woodgraining the office woodwork. This was one of those rare painting projects that I enjoyed her help. Not only did it add variety having two different people painting, we also learned tricks from …

Painting the gable

With the prep work done on the gable, and a new gallon of primer, it was time to start painting the gable. While it was white I used the opportunity to play around with the color scheme in Photoshop. You’ll …

The Final Four

Knowlesville Posted on June 7, 2008 by MattJune 14, 2019
Rose Arbor

A sunny workday for a change, so while waiting for paint coats on the house to dry I put up the last four brackets, and did some painting on the fence until I ran out of primer. So I went …

Artie, The Magician

Knowlesville Posted on June 6, 2008 by MattJune 14, 2019
Artie's magic trick

You know those magic tricks where the magician shows you an empty box, and then closes the door. A few magic words are spoken, the door is opened, and a leggy blonde emerges? Well we had something similar happen in …

Mabel

When I rode through this lupine patch with Blake last month, I knew it would be a great location for a model shot. Mabel was back in town and the day ended up being a perfect day to take off …

Mendocino Coast Sunset

This shot was taken after sunset from a viewpoint along Hwy. 101. It was shot with a 30 second exposure which is why the water looks the way it does. I was hoping for a more dramatic sunset that evening, …

Seagull

One of the owners of the Fort Bragg Super 8 Motel wants seagulls on the web site so I was trying to get photos of seagulls. This one did a nice fly-by for me. I wish I had had a …

Both Lori and I fondly remember getting the little variety packs of cereals when our families vacationed. For my family that was about the only time we got to enjoy sugared cereals like Trix and Cocoa Puffs. So while we …
