Variations on a theme

Posted on February 1, 2005 by MattMay 16, 2019

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 …

X-Ray Vision

Posted on January 21, 2005 by MattMay 16, 2019

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 …

Pull Here

Posted on January 17, 2005 by MattMay 16, 2019

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 …

Going Shopping

Posted on January 15, 2005 by MattMay 16, 2019

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 …

Santa’s New Sled

Posted on December 18, 2004 by MattMay 15, 2019

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 …

Almost Balmy

Posted on December 17, 2004 by MattMay 15, 2019

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 …

Got Milk?

Posted on December 16, 2004 by MattMay 15, 2019

It’s very important to leave some nice cookies and milk out for Santa if you want to get some really nice presents for Christmas. It was very nice of Humboldt Creamery to package their milk in the appropriate Christmas colors.

Gift Wrapping

Posted on December 15, 2004 by MattMay 15, 2019

We thought maybe we could attract more business to our studio if we offered complimentary gift wrapping. Since my gift wrapping skills are notoriously bad, and Lori is busy making Christmas presents, I had no choice but to hire someone. …

This road is closed

Posted on December 4, 2004 by MattMay 15, 2019

Chelsea doing her best bad ass cowgirl impersonation. Chelsea stands a whole 5′-1″ tall, and is a very sweet gal, so it does take a firearm and an unusual shooting angle to make that concept work. This shot wasn’t for …

Cowgirl at the beach

Posted on November 4, 2004 by MattMay 15, 2019

Last night I tried to squeek in a shoot before it got too dark (and cold!). My plan was to go to my favorite spot in Lotela but when we got there we found that with hunting in season, the …

Lady of Mystery

Posted on November 1, 2004 by MattMay 15, 2019

I’ve been working on getting used to the new camera so I’ve been scheduling photoshoots with models. Yeah, I might learn as much about the camera taking photos of flowers, but this seemed like more fun. So far I like …

Kate’s 40s Suit

Posted on October 16, 2004 by MattMay 14, 2019

Here’s Kate again, this time wearing more clothes, but still playing the sexy secretary. She’s obviously aiming for a raise in her salary

Sexy Secretary

Posted on October 15, 2004 by MattMay 14, 2019

I put this little office scene together to photograph Kate in some 40s underwear from our collection and a 40s suit from her collection. The typewriter was being sold in last year’s city wide garage sale by my accountant. It …

Victorian Corset

Posted on September 22, 2004 by MattMay 13, 2019

This is the first corset that Lori and I purchased, and still my favorite as it is by far the fanciest. I’ve photographed it several times over the years, and in fact it was worn by the first model I …

Mabel’s 21 Inch Waist

Posted on September 2, 2004 by MattMay 13, 2019

Here’s the first few layers that Mabel was wearing under the bodice and skirt featured yesterday. In all she was wearing: drawers, brassiere, corset, petticoat, corset cover, another petticoat, skirt, and bodice. Makes getting dressed in the morning a bit …

Mabel

Posted on September 1, 2004 by MattMay 13, 2019

Mabel came by our studio today to model an outfit that we received from Toby, a VPA member who was cleaning out her closets. The bodice is from around 1900, and it is very tiny. We thought that Mabel would …

Bodie at long last

Posted on July 30, 2004 by MattMay 8, 2019

Starting with the same Galen Rowell seminar mentioned earlier, I had made three previous trips to Bodie, all unsuccessful due to the weather. You can’t be a photographer and not see pictures of Bodie. And once you’ve seen pictures of …

Lisa Marie

Posted on July 26, 2004 by MattMay 8, 2019

While we were in Vegas I thought it would be nice to work on a picture that I’ve had in my mind for a long time. This isn’t it though, this was plan B. It was just too hot to …

Magic Mirror

Posted on July 11, 2004 by MattMay 8, 2019

I worked with Nixie in the studio for some shots for her portfolio. Had to really concentrate on my levitation skills to keep the mirror there.

Tropical Kate

Posted on July 10, 2004 by MattMay 8, 2019

Since I don’t have the budget to go to Hawaii this year, I have to pretend. Here’s Kate doing her best Island Girl impersonation.

Going for a dip

Posted on July 9, 2004 by MattMay 8, 2019

I took part of today off to go take pictures with Kate. We went up to Route 1 and a cascade that is just off of 299 near Willow Creek. At the cascade we took some pictures of Kate in …

Jessica and Poppies

Posted on May 20, 2004 by MattMay 6, 2019

Another shot from the photoshoot with Jessica last Sunday. So I’ve covered lupines and poppies, what’s next on the wildflower list?

Jessica #3

Posted on May 17, 2004 by MattMay 6, 2019

This is the third Jessica that I’ve had model for me. Since it was a nice warm day I thought it would be nice to photograph her in the little bit of our garden that hasn’t been plowed under. With …

Mysterious Log Lady

Posted on May 3, 2004 by MattMarch 19, 2020

Just for the record, this photo was taken a few days after I photographed Haley in the same spot, and this isn’t Haley. Whoever this model is, she’s certainly better looking than the log lady character from Twin Peaks.

Clouds at Dusk

Posted on May 2, 2004 by MattMay 6, 2019

This shot was taken the same evening, just at dusk. When she struck this pose, I noticed how the lines of her hands and arms followed the lines the clouds formed. One of those chance things that just worked.

Loleta Lupines

Posted on May 1, 2004 by MattMay 6, 2019

Looking back at last month, my updates were once again pretty pitiful. Between the visit to see Mom and Dad (and the number of things that went wrong that trip) plus the start of the Ferndale Fire Dept donation drive, …

Erin

Posted on April 11, 2004 by MattMay 3, 2019

I recently placed some fliers at College of the Redwoods regarding modeling, so hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll be introducing some new faces here. This is Erin, and she’s modeling an evening bodice from the early 1900s. The …

Haley Once More

Posted on March 29, 2004 by MattMay 3, 2019

The beach that we shot at yesterday was the same beach that Lori and I explored two weeks ago. But something new this trip was this huge old growth redwood stump that had washed ashore. It was perfect for posing …

Haley

Posted on March 28, 2004 by MattMay 3, 2019

Two weeks and no updates. Had a trip to Grandma’s in there, and finished up my fire academy class except for the final which is this Tuesday. Today was just as the weather reports predicted, absolutely nice! I had a …

1700 Corset

Posted on February 10, 2004 by MattMay 2, 2019

Once again Kate has stepped into the time machine, but this time we see her arrival in the 1700s. This corset is Lori’s and she made it for her 1700s riding outfit, which I still need to photograph.

Take a Powder

Posted on February 9, 2004 by MattMay 2, 2019

Kate has moved from the 1910s to the 1930s, yet her boudoir still features that grand staircase. How very odd.
