Texas Yoga

Long road trip to California with a stop in Texas yeilded a nice photo shoot with Alex an aspiring Yoga teacher starting her own practice. This is a small area and we put more effort into stacking furniture then actually shooting that day.
Using one window gave pretty soft lighting to capture a few poses and head shots.
A perfect pit stop.
Thanks Alex!

Master Woodworker

Some of the most interesting people you will find right next door. My neighbors in Sebastian Florida just can't be beat. Ron, has built quite the little shop in his garage and I am constantly amazed at what he produces. He has built just about every piece of furniture in his house, from tables, desks, chairs to wooden toy rides. His latest fascination is the wood lathe and making bowls.
Ron's ability to network allowed him to hook up with a wood source, yep, it's a secret too. The pile of stumps looks like firewood to most, but for Ron its all about seeing the art waiting to get out.
Below are some examples of his work. And these peices are in the #20's. He is now over 100 pieces and he keeps getting better and better.
Using some off camera lighting in the middle of day was a challenge I really enjoyed.
Hope you do too.
