I shot a roll of film as well on my trip to the Govan schoolhouse, this is a triple exposure I took on the way there. the two images on the right are powerlines and hay (?) fields. the one on the left is from Dry Falls, another stop off where I purchased two handmade arrowheads of obsidian and jasper. :)

TGIF yo!!

got to shoot with a new model this past weekend. we did some conceptual as well as beauty shots so we covered a lot of ground and Sara was a real trooper. this was a simple shot that I rotated for interest and I think it has a stronger impact this way. kind of gives you a floaty feeling...

I bought this vintage communion veil for 7dollars. I love the sunburst of lace across the top but I must admit to it being difficult to work with because it's such stiff tulle and it's been folded up in a cute little baggie since the 1940's so it seriously won't unbend. oh well, I still dig it and feel confident I can create some awesome photos with it. I like the stoic, kinda of gothic nature of this photo.

crieky, is it time for my pro account to expire already?

Govan schoolhouse photo adventure

on Saturday a friend and I went for a drive out to Govan WA to find an abandoned old schoolhouse to photograph.  we'd seen some photos of it but nothing new since September 2011 so we hoped that the old place would still be standing after the winter.  we were very pleased to see it still standing, no one around and even quite a bit of color still on the shingles and walls inside.  the front stairs were gone and the porch area was at about my shoulder height.  the boards were extremely weak but once past that the rest of the floor was in pretty good condition.  owls roosting in the eaves.  the skeleton of a cupola. built in 1906 and closed in 1942 when they started busing the kids to Wilbur.  a two room school house.  one room for K through 4th grade, the other for grades 5 through 9. what an amazing piece of history!  


here are some of the photos I took while there....

took a photo adventure on saturday to see if we could find this incredible abandonded schoolhouse out in Govan WA. thankfully it was still standing and in really good condition even. the stairs were gone and the porch are was totally dodgy but the floors inside were very sturdy. I'll post some shots of the inside here tomorrow night, too much to do tonight to get to it. plus I'd really rather just take a bath. :)

another wonderful contortion brought to you by a woman who is seriously good at yoga. :) I love many things in this image. the dusty similar color pallete, the wonderful shadows, the fact that you can't really see her face....

taken at the Brooke Shaden Lindsay Adler workshop this past spring.

I'm pleased to announce I've published my second photo book! it's available on blurb and I'm leaving the full preview up for the next week in case anyone wants to view it. it's a small but cohesive collection of my more recent conceptual work. sort of like a cross between a business card and a portfolio. the book is also for sale with the softcover at $19.00 and the iPad version at only $4.99. heaps of thanks in advance to anyone who might purchase a copy! click here to view~

I haven't done something heavily composited for a while so I figured I'd try to make something out of one of my outtakes. I wanted it to relfect all the colors of the summer season and how one always wants to hang on to summer. especially if you live where I do. ;)

cheers~

I had a bit of powdered milk left so I figured I've give the old milk bath one more go. plus the peonies only had these colorful petals left to share so I put them to use.

I love when I remember that it's the weekend!! hope you enjoy yours~
