Deck renovation redwood stain before after


Okay let's get started. Chris? Present. Okay, item one: paint the deck. Behr redwood semi-transparent. Two gallons coated it twice (barely) with each coat taking a couple hours.

Sauna teardown renovation


Item two: sauna. Why anyone would build wood straight onto concrete I cannot imagine, but that meant the sauna had to go.

Item three: hill behind the fence. Jon wreaked excellent havoc with the sawzall, I simply raked the vertical foot of branches and leaves to the bottom of the grade. I'm hoping the scotch grass I planted will fare well.
And ScottD sent me a bunch of photos from the animal park last week.

Connie's darkroom work, or in her words, 'I gots it in my flickrs!' In fact, I'll leave you with one more quote from the excitable one...

i want an A. i want an A. i want an A. i already calculate getting docked points for assignment 2 since i turned in one out of two prints required. that's a C right there. assignment 1 all turned in, but images not impressive.. at least not compared to yours and curts of solarized car parts. so that's a B. i need two A+'s to counteract assignment 1 and 2. assignment 3, my metering is all over the place...docked points right there!!! I won't get an A!!! i wont get an A!!!!

Thought I was your sawzall captain. And why is it that you do all the fun sawzall'n and sauna bustin' when I'm not around? Put up a photo of the back hill.


Nice job. The difference is like night and day.

I red myself

 For whatever reason I decided to do the fences this weekend. Well, I decided to start the fences. I'm maybe half done.

Keeping myself occupied

 By popular demand, I give you the area behind the fence. You can see the recently planted scotch grass that needs to get growing. Uh that's about it. It's steep, it's under some trees, yep. Nothing to see here, move along.

More milestones

 There was a scnax event this weekend. I stopped by to shoot a couple rolls and a few megs. The contact sheets are looking promising, we'll see if there's anything I can use for the final.

A Better Edit Makes Better Photographs

 Take a few minutes to watch the video above or, if you're more of a written word person, keep reading. When I came home from Kenya last year, I had a hard drive filled to busting with 30,000 images. I'd been photographing for 30 days, so that's a daily average of 1,000 photographs which, it

 The Tale [Or Tail] Of An Unexpected Visitor I wanted to sweep leaves off our deck, it being autumn and all, so I'd opened one of the French doors between our dining room and screened-in porch, leaving it open behind me, then I stepped outside into the screened-in porch. I had a sense of purpose....
