  • Apple Dumplings, Root Beer Saloon, My Grandparents and Me…

    It has been over 15 years since my last solo trip to visit my grandparents… and that is 15 years too long. I am very lucky. I get to see my grandparents, who live 2,173 miles away from me, at least twice a year. But those visits usually include at least 12 other relatives as…

  • A Few Favorite Rollei Faces…

    I often get asked what is the difference between film and digital, and so here is a collection of some of my favorite Rolleiflex (medium format film) portraits. It is not a requirement that you look serious when you are being photographed by the Rollei, but it is a requirement that you take the photo…

  • 65 Years (part I): Photos For My Blob

    Happy 65 years of marriage to my grandparents, Bob and Sally Harper. For their celebration, they took 14 of us to Washington State. The first four days we spent hiking around Mount Rainer, and the last three days we explored Lopez Island, in the San Juan Islands. The whole journey was amazing. Besides being in…

Want to know what the secret musical instrument…

  • Searching for a Moon of Honey…

    I always pictured I would be swimming in warm water… with a snorkle mask if I ever went on a honeymoon. But when we compared the costs of flying somewhere warm with driving to a free cabin in Tahoe… I traded the snorkle for my very own snowboarding boots… and it was heaven. No computers,…

  • Digging out the Rollei again…

    It took me awhile… but I am back and so is the Rollei. I have been completely swamped for the past three months… my brain has been divided in so many directions and I haven’t had time for anything other than work and planning for the wedding celebration Arann and I had with some of…

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…
