Ink and Portraits

This weekend I decided I need to get back to the basics and actually learn how to draw, and draw bigger. So I did some portraits. Liquid ink is fun.

Planting Portraits

I'm at a weird point in my planting-photography career where I can't tell what a good/cool tree planting photo is anymore. I've seen it all, taken them all, but at the same time, don't they all kind of look cool?, but also who cares?, they're not that special. As a consequence, I had a really hard time choosing what to post, so I just posted a bunch. Tree planting 2012, year 10. Here it is.

Here comes the excavator.

Bad ass Jenny in the shittiest land I've ever had. This was our piece.

 

Dandylion babies.

Let's never start planting again.

Byron never looks like a tree planter.

 

Happy retirement. Yeah right.

Williams Lake. Gorgeous.

Stevarino and his Delica. Just picture him in a business suit and this is exactly what he will look like in 5 years but with a parliament building in the background.

Put it on a Popsicle Stick

I've talked smack about doing this at every possible opportunity, but never followed through, so finally I did it. I put someone who is absent (or about to be absent) on a popsicle stick. My roommate Claire is going away for 8 months, we had a party. I cut out 19 photos of her, put them on popsicle sticks and gave them away so she can still have a presence at functions when she's away.

I've been a very bad little blogger lately but I have some things in the works that will hopefully reach a threshold soon in a storm of new posts. Popsicle stick procrastination for now.
