Hot, Hot, Hot
Here’s a bit more Photoshop fun. The flaming house was taken in 2003 during a Ferndale Fire Department training burn. Becki was shot in our studio, and then Photoshop was used to put the two together.

Trick or Treat
I shot this earlier this month but saved it for today. Kat and I had planned to work outdoors a couple of weekends ago, but due to the fickle nature of Humboldt County weather (see previous entry) we ended up … Continue reading →
Later that same day
I tried shooting a bit more at the beach yesterday after we captured the series of shots needed for the composite photo, but the wind just kept blowing even harder. So Sarah stopped by the studio after work and we … Continue reading →
Sarah’s Self Portrait
I’ve been having fun coming up with picture in picture concepts lately, and today we took Sarah to the Lost Coast to work on this one. The concept is more apparent in a full size print where the painting looks … Continue reading →
Red Skivvies
Here she is again, hanging around, this time wearing a pair of bright red skivvies.
Swinging
The pond we visited has a rope swing. I tried talking Mabel into actually using it, but she chickened out. Instead she decided to just hang out in her Ferndale special bikini.
My Favorite Pond
I stretched a three day weekend into 4 days, and went out to my favorite pond for a shoot with Mabel. The exact location of this pond will have to remain a secret, but it’s pretty remote. Even though it … Continue reading →
Ribbons
This year I entered 8 photos, 2 each in the Color, Black and White, and Digitally Enhanced classes of the Professional Photography division, and 2 more in the Professional Fine Arts division. I received ribbons for 1st and 2nd in … Continue reading →
View from Above
I shot this from a bridge that goes over the creek. I then reduced the saturation in Photoshop to give it that old time “hand tinted” effect that goes along with the 1930s chemise she is wearing.
Fashion Design
Lori made a comment while we were photographing this setup that I have quite an interesting sense of fashion. Ok, so maybe you won’t see many women dressed like this at the mall, but it’s probably closer to reality than … Continue reading →
British Maid
I had a good weekend with the Sprint ST. Saturday I took it out to scout for locations for a photoshoot, and then Sunday we did the shoot so I got to ride it two days in a row. Pretty … Continue reading →
Rhinestones
Another item that’s been sitting around waiting for the right opportunity is this rhinestone bra that I saw a couple of years ago. I just thought it was so outrageous that I bought it on impulse, not really knowing what … Continue reading →
Dangerous Curves
The traditional Chinese dress, called a cheongsam, has always been a favorite of mine. I found this one at a Goodwill store several years ago, but since they are so fitted, it was hard finding just the right model. Fortunately, … Continue reading →
Too Windy
After working hard in the studio all month, I was looking forward to a shoot on the Lost Coast with Haley. Originally planned for Tuesday, we postponed it to Friday because fog, which had been a problem all week. While … Continue reading →
A season behind
Last year I took some pictures of some beautiful wildflower patches up on Route 1 and marked my calendar so I wouldn’t forget to do the same this year. I had made several trips up there in May only to … Continue reading →
Studio Visit
Today we had a student from Ferndale High School come over to learn more about photography. Last week we did the same for a student interested in web design. So that we would have a project to work on, I … Continue reading →
Drink Your Milk
Grandma’s recent experience (get better Grandma!) reminded me of the importance of drinking milk, especially for you young women. You can’t start building those strong bones too soon. This has been a public service message, brought to you by a … Continue reading →
Udders Day
Tomorrow Ferndale is celebrating something new this year, Udders Day, a celebration of all things dairy. The chamber of commerce found a herd of 11 fiberglass cows (There was a photo of one of them a while ago when they … Continue reading →
Katherine Revealed
So after seeing two silhouettes of Katherine, I thought it would be nice to show a picture where you can actually see her. Two of her in fact.
White Mountain Sunset in Loleta
This photo of Katherine is another bit of Photoshop trickery. Last summer during our trip to the White Mountains, I photographed some real pretty sunset pictures of the ancient bristlecone trees silhouetted against the sky. I also took some pictures … Continue reading →
Coming to a theater soon
Well the weather did cooperate, and we had a chance to finish the shoot with Katherine that we started earlier. When I showed this shot to someone in town they thought it looked like a movie poster. So if someone … Continue reading →
Katherine
Saturday was probably the most gorgeous day we had in Ferndale this year, and the weather forecast promised even warmer temps for today. Which was good news because I had two photoshoots planned for the day. Haley still owed me … Continue reading →
Cowgirl
Mabel came over to the studio and we ended up with a number of outstanding shots. We ended up in the studio, because the weather hasn’t been kind outdoors. I’ve been waiting for a weekend to go shoot up on … Continue reading →
Mabel’s Dress
During our last photoshoot together, Mabel brought a dress to show me, knowing I have a penchant for all things sheer. I asked her to bring it along on this shoot, and it ended up being the perfect dress for … Continue reading →
The Green Hills Around Ferndale
It’s finally getting back to the season that I love most, and a week early we’ve been having some fine spring weather. After helping put out a fire in a mobile home this afternoon, I went over to the Lost … Continue reading →
Variations on a theme
As you may have noticed, the camera hasn’t been out much lately. Last weekend I was taking a wildland fire training class, and I just haven’t been able to sneek out of the office to do any photography. I did … Continue reading →
X-Ray Vision
We’ve been hard at work in the laboratory this week. You know those x-ray glasses that are advertised in comic books? Well they don’t work. But we did develop this device that looks like an antique frame that when you … Continue reading →
Pull Here
This is one of the photos that will be in my Art’s Alive show. The show opens Feb 5th at Good Relations in Eureka. I exhibited there a couple of years ago, but during the opening we were down in … Continue reading →
Going Shopping
Mabel and I worked tonight on a photo for my upcoming show for February’s Art’s Alive. This isn’t it. After a lot of planning, the shot for the show failed, for technical reasons. Not the camera’s fault either, we had … Continue reading →
Santa’s New Sled
We spend far more time at work than we do at home (unfortunately) so when Lori suggested we get a tree this year, I thought we should put it in our studio so we could enjoy it more. It also … Continue reading →
Almost Balmy
If I didn’t tell you where and when this picture was taken, you’d have visions of walking along some warm tropical beach in the summer. Since in reality it was shot in December on a beach in Loleta, and it … Continue reading →
