manetarium studio…

I’ve been working on the Manetarium for the past few weeks getting the photography studio part of it ready for photo sessions. I did a couple family portraitures during the Christmas holidays but will now focus on clients.

I’m a big fan of studio strobes and outside speed lights. I’ve heard photographers state they only shoot in “natural lighting”. Yeah, right.
The backdrop flooring was recently added for aesthetics and extension of the photos coverage area. It’s a linoleum and not glued down so I’m able to replace whenever I need to match the backdrop used.

Custom x-mas gifts…

This year I decided to make custom X-Mas gifts for kids. I probably have 300 or extra license plates that I can’t use for my wall collection since I have the states already displayed.

I’ve seen license plates that have been cut into separate characters or numbers to create a word, name or something catchy.

The names or words used have meaning to each person receiving the gift.
Of course my wifey had a special sign made for her “She Shed”.

Winter is here… so is Xmas!

It’s been storming up in the foothills the past week or so. We put up a good chunk of Xmas lights during the Thanksgiving break.

Rear sector of our homestead.

We have lights across the front of our home too. We still have to get lights hung up in the “She Shed” area.
