389 Main Street Studio Pano
Before I started moving out, I took a pano shot of the studio on Main Street that has been my home for 5 years. Compare this beautiful room with the one we started with back in May of 2002. What … Continue reading →

Black Rock Falls
It may be satisfying to you to know that even professional photographers sometimes leave film in their cameras for months. This picture was taken in January, before we left on our Mexico trip. I took my medium format camera down … Continue reading →
A few days too late for Leprechauns
When I stumbled into the bathroom this morning, I was greeted by a beautiful rainbow. I quickly dressed and ran out the front, making sure I didn’t run too fast in my slippers and end up falling in the mud. … Continue reading →
Bodyscape
One of the things I’m really enjoying about having the studio is being able to work on projects that require really fine control of the lighting, like this bodyscape.
The Flapper
This week for our Friday afternoon practice session, we dressed Jessica up as a 1920s flapper gal. She wasn’t too excited about the wig until Lori added the headband. I thought the whole outfit looked pretty good. I’ve added more … Continue reading →
Home In Time
One of the biggest things that I hate about working 10-12 hour days is that I’m not at home to watch the beautiful sunsets we have. Fortunately, the last few nights, due to later sunsets, and a decreased work schedule, … Continue reading →
Clear Skies
Ok that was three pictures of Jessica in a row, so time for something completely different. Yesterday as I arrived home from work we had a very pretty sky, even though there weren’t any clouds in it. As the trees … Continue reading →
Tough Chick
It has been fabulous weather all week long, a bit chilly in the morning but beautiful blue skies from dawn to dusk. So this afternoon, Jessica and I took our practice session out doors, to the old Van Duzen bridge.
Sweet Gal
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought it would be good to have some hi-key photos in my portfolio. Hi key meaning that the photo is mainly composed of highlights, versus low key which is what I tend to shoot more … Continue reading →
Blithe Spirits
The current production of the Ferndale Repertory Theatre is Blithe Spirits, and this is the publicity shot that I did for them. If it’s not obvious from the photo, Bithe Spirits is a ghost story. Lori and I went and … Continue reading →
Bill’s guitar
This is a very expensive guitar that a local guitar player asked me to take pictures of so he can sell it on E-bay. The low blue book for this vintage Gibson “Johnny Smith” jazz guitar is $8K. The owner … Continue reading →
Grizzly Bluff Arrival
A final shot from the motorcycle ride, this was coming back into town via Grizzly Bluff Road.”
Ridgetop
This evening we hosted the Splinter Group, which is the Ferndale/Eureka old house group. We had them over at the shop to show them the restoration that we did, and Greg gave them a talk about old pictures. During the … Continue reading →
Arts Alive!
The Eureka area is full of artists, and one way it is celebrated is with the monthly Arts Alive! program, where merchants display various artist’s works the first Saturday of each month. I had my first ever show of my … Continue reading →
Puerto Vallarta Sunset
We only had one really good sunset during the whole week, because mostly it was very cloudy offshore in the evenings. This picture was taken earlier in the week on one night that I sensed it would be a good … Continue reading →
Morning Trees
We awoke at this morning to see something unusual, the sun. I liked the way it lit up the bark of these trees. Since John had to work, Carol and Lori went shopping at the mall, I went to Keeble … Continue reading →
Blue Sky and Crows
Yes that’s blue sky in the photo. Monday, the sky actually cleared between storms long enough to go out and take some pictures of Main Street. I was taking pictures of the top of the Abraxas building when these two … Continue reading →
Such Luxury
After two previous attempts that got squashed by events related to the storm, Chelsea made it back to the studio to finish modeling the outfit that she wore at Ivanhoe’s earlier. We also had her model a fur and velvet … Continue reading →
Ferndale’s Steeples
Last night looked like it might be a nice sunset so I went out to take pictures. Still looking for that Christmas tree shot for next year’s Christmas cards. Didn’t get one last night because while I was rushing around … Continue reading →
Chelsea II
During my fire department physical earlier this year I met Chelsea as she was taking my blood pressure. Noting that she was very petite I mentioned Lori’s clothing collection and asked her if she would be interested in modeling. So … Continue reading →
Sunset from Fortuna
Today I went looking for the Women’s Federation Grove to scope out a site for a family picture I am taking tomorrow. This grove is just off of The Avenue of the Giants, but it is a bit hard to … Continue reading →
Jessica Playing Dress Up
This picture should also suit the tastes of our testosterone influenced critics. Although it features men’s clothing, there are no hairy legs to be seen. In fact I have it on good authority that Jessica did shave her legs, so … Continue reading →
Back to Women
I received a complaint that we featured a picture of a guy with hairy legs. The person complaining was obviously a male, but if you look back at the picture in question, you will see that he was paying attention … Continue reading →
Sunset on Main St.
Every once in awhile, I’m reminded of what I really miss about working at home. One big benefit that I miss is the views, especially at sunset. Tonight, just before I was sitting down to type this, I decided to … Continue reading →
Champagne at the Fountain
Another shot from the Gingerbread Mansion. Here, Danah and Joel sip their champagne in front of the fire. What a peaceful, relaxing scene it was. At least after we got the fire alarm to stop going off. You see the … Continue reading →
The Little Ballerina
Photoshoot #4 with Katy, this time back in the studio. Katy studies ballet and this was one shot we both wanted to do. Don’t have a photo for this one, but it’s a funny story that bears repeating, even without … Continue reading →
All decked out
Here’s a photo for the gals. Just so you don’t think I only take pictures of scantily clad women.
Joel & Danah
Today we had a dry run with the studio using a couple that came in a couple of weeks ago looking for a wedding photographer. While I couldn’t help them there, I realized soon after they left that they would … Continue reading →
1890s Ensemble
The second outfit Katy tried on was owned by the same lady originally, and so it featured the same 22″ waist measurement. It has some of the neatest embroidery on the front. It is also nice that the fabric is … Continue reading →
1908 Wedding Dress
Today I worked with Katy for the third time. She’s fun to work with, and she’s quite the trooper. Our last outing she got to stand in mucky water, and sit on the beach in cold weather and make it … Continue reading →
Mike’s Heat Sink
Earlier this week I got a surprise email from Mike McCoy. He happened to be looking for a web designer and photographer, and found my web site. Shortly thereafter, I received a box of parts to photograph. The company that … Continue reading →
