I was asked to take a picture of a couple’s old baby shoes. I love the difference in them and the worn texture. It kind of tells a story.
Getting a large plant safely out of a pot
Just wanted to share a little garden tip I learned to save your back when transplanting heavy plants.
My garden shed made of old doors
This took me a little longer to do than I thought but I needed a shed to put my garden stuff in. I saw an old wide narrow pallet and we had 4 old heavy doors that just fit around the pallet. Unfortunately I didn’t have two more for the front so that is plywood and pine siding. For the roof I used some white corrugated panels to let in some light. Finally a place to put my stuff and it can moved around theoretically if I need to because it’s already on a pellet!
My iPad painting attempt
This is not really my first iPad painting but it’s the first one I’ve done that I actually like! I wish I could say I imagined the scene but I used my friends photo of a fire access road in Oregon for inspiration. He said the light on the road broke through the mist and created this wonderful glow. I wanted to see if I could capture that. I used the drawing program called Procreate. Hope you enjoy!
Portrait of a farmer
My garden buddy Steve was kind enough to help me make some photos for stock. He not only has a great face but equal in is knowledge about gardening. It was a lot of fun – I hope I can persuade him to pose some more!
A few career portraits
I was asked to take photograph a few career oriented portraits of our students for a set of departmental flyers. Each student would be highlighted in a flyer about the program along with a quote about what the program did for them. Below is a selection of some of the wonderful people I met.
