  • Commuting…

    For the past month, I have been driving back and forth, and back and forth, from the country to the city for this office project I am working on. And because I often work with MALT (the Marin Agricultural Land Trust,) and they love to have photos of green hills for their annual reports… I…

  • The Country…

  • Goats are Better than Diamonds…

    This is Novella Carpenter. Among many many other things, Novella is a writer and an urban farmer, and for the past ten years she has been farming in Oakland, California and writing about her adventures raising farm animals in the two story Victorian house that she rents, and gardening in the vacant lot next to…

  • Fun With Flowers…

    California Country Magazine asked me to photograph the orchids and the process of growing and shipping the orchids, at Rocket Farms in Salinas, California. I had never seen so many amazing flowers in one place. It was a fun adventure and now I am the proud owner of my very own orchid, although I am…

  • The Album is Ready…

    Remember the album I was talking about a few weeks ago? The sound editing is finished, the cd’s have been printed, the cd covers have been screen-printed and cut out by hand, and after their first weekend of gigs with their new cd’s… they have sold 20 so far. The whole package is definitely an…

  • Natural Dyes with Mimi and California Country Magazine…

    It is nice to be connected with people who promote my photography, since I don’t do a good job of promoting myself. Ever since I returned from London, I have been meaning to take my portfolio around to magazines in the area, but I just haven’t gotten to it yet. But luckily, Mimi, my soon-to-be-mother-in-law,…

  • Day 2: Rattled goes to the Farm…

    This is the hardest post I have made yet… because there are so many cute photos, it took me a very long time to try and narrow down my favorites… but if you want to see more, you’ll just have to wait for the Rattled catalog to come out. And that is all I have…

  • Get to know your food, farmers and the tools they use…

    Farming has changed greatly over the last two generations, as Gene Ponica knows that first hand. He says, growing up on a dairy ranch was not fun for a kid. But the dairy cows are long gone these days. It was too expensive and challenging to upgrade all the old equipment to meet today’s strict…

  • Trying to wow with my cows… and one sheep…

    For the last three years, I have been lucky to get assignments for MALT, the Marin Agricultural Land Trust. I do all kinds of things for them, including, documenting events like Taste of Marin, and their hikes on MALT protected ranches. It has been a wonderful partnership, because I have been able to go places…
