Every May 29th she wanders the graveyard
looking for the man who married her only to strangle her in their wedding bed with her bridal veil.
Nope... I haven't lost it... this was supposed to be another "Iron Photographer" shot... This time the ingredients were:
1. Shot in Film Noir style
2. A weapon
3. A liquid
So.. I got out my wedding dress... drove to the graveyard... set up the camera on the tripod... calculated how long of an exposure I would need to get a ghostly transparency of myself... and had Mr. 9 2 Bay hit the shutter release and tell me when I was in and out of the frame...
So... here is the Film Noir style... The wedding veil was the weapon... and the liquid... uummm... the liquid is.....
DOH...

Gretchen enjoys the spotlight...
750,000 Candle Power of portable light.... If I can stay up past dark again it should be fun to play with!
OH... and do I ever have a really cool idea for this new bit of lighting technology... now I just have to see if my wedding dress still fits (yeah.. like that is gonna be bloody likely) and then come up with a good story to tell the cops when they show up to shag me outta the graveyard! :)

Meet George.
He was sitting all alone on the shelf at a store called "The Final Markdown" in Deerfield. He looked so sad. I couldn't resist taking him home with me. I'm sure you'll be seeing quite a bit of George.

I'm late.. I'm late....
no time to stop for a photo op... I'm late!
Ok.. not really... it just fits the photo... Sorry for the lack of postage yesterday... it's just been crazy nuts around here... I took Saturday off for the washout of a craft fair so the Wally Mart boss Lady scheduled me for an extra nite during the week to make up for the missing hours (or at least I think that's why she did it). Very nice of her really, so many of the Associates depend on keeping the same amount of hours per week to make the bills, but I'd rather have had the time off. Her heart was in the right place anyway.

Blue Basket...
A lovely handmade basket and a new project for me... One of the ladies that I work with (Super Stalker Sue - ok.. so it's actually Strategic Stocker Sue) makes these lovely baskets and we've decided to collaborate... she weaves.. and I photograph the outcome... It will make some lovely "country style" pics for me and she'll get some nice photo's out of the deal... we haven't quite worked out all the details as yet... but here's one I took at the craft fair on Saturday.. Which by the way... pretty much blew.. it went back and forth between light drizzle and heavy drizzle... but drizzle it did.. ALL DAY LONG... the Walmart where it was held was uber busy... but they set us up in the farthest parking lot and we sadly watched as people pulled in, ran quickly into the store... came back out... quickly ran to their vehicles and drove outta there... not wanting to deal with the cold wet rain... I don't blame them a bit... but it was awful for us...
I'm just SO glad I took a double booth... *sigh** I was hoping to set the tent up in one space and then do an outdoor display in the other, but ended up having to strategically arrange everything under the tent... OH well.. at least it was for a good cause (the Children's Miracle Network) and I did make my booth money back plus enough to have covered my gas and tolls to get out there...
OH.. and the best comment of the day was from the lady that bought one of my "Hello from the Girls" bra cards... She was very complimentary and as she walked away she again said "Your stuff is REALLY good - and I work for a photo studio."... and bam... she was gone... doh... I'd love to know which studio but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to ask her...
Anyway.. MANY thanks to those of you who stopped by...

Socks in Crocs or My Squeaky Left Foot...
YAY!! New Crocs! I'm tellin' you people... if you do tons of standin' and walkin' these are the shoes for you... I did learn something tho.. I wore them for my 5 hour shift last nite at the Wally World - sans socks - and my left one squeaked to no end... it nearly drove me nuts.. strolling amongst the bras and panties - thump - squeak - thump - squeak... GGRRRR.. I was ready to return them... then today.. I tried them with socks... not a squeak to be heard... so.. apparently... I have a squeaky left foot.

Flowerfall
I'm so excited... yes.. excited... in a way that only watching grass grow can excite you. Well, not grass, but flowers. Lots and Lots of flowers. I got my gardens planted last nite. YAY!
I've got 9 tomato plants and 6 beans in on the side of the house. 3 rows of summer squash and a row of Jack-Be-Littles in the front edge of the yard, then all along the edge of the woods at the front of the house I put in thousands of wildflower seeds & cosmos, backed by a row Mammoth & mixed tall SunFlowers... OH... and then more SunFlowers planted in front of Mr. 9 2 Bays pile of plows, truck caps, old pallets and other assorted junk.
Woohoo.. now all I have to do is sit back and watch 'em grow...
*sigh**
Well.. maybe I'll find something else to do.
Later...

Abandoned
but not un-loved!
I'm really liking the early hour shift at the Wally World... well.. the getting up at freakin' dark thirty not so much... but the getting done at 4pm stuff is pretty nice... Sunday we actually went up to McCarthy's... had an extra large beer... a pot o' gold giant basket of appetizers for supper... and then still had a couple hours of golden evening light to ride around and do a little bit of shooting... here's a pic from the trip... just one you say? Yes... just one pic... **see the bit about "extra large beer"... don't try this at home people...

Ask me how my day was yesterday...
I dare ya!
Keep in mind.. I worked at Wally World last nite... All I can say is... she stopped screaming at her kid... and began screaming at me... and my manager... and she says she'll never be back to this sh*thole cause it's employees like me that are turning it into a sh*thole...
and I can only hope she's telling the truth...
And I'm really proud of the fact that I refused to apologize.
So there.
B*tch!

I've captured the Magic Donkey, If you ever wanna see him again....
go to your favorite online or 'real' store and purchase white Canon lenses, I'll contact you later with directions as to where to send them. Cooperate... and no one gets hurt...
Even the Camel has an opinion
The only thing grosser than the actual tongue was the noise it made hocking it up... One quick shot and we were running for our lives...
Happy Furry Friday!
Happy Furry Friday!
I never had a pony as a kid
but the neighbors did. They had two - Princess and Playboy - and their pasture was right next to our yard. I can remember arguing with my brother and my friends over who would go into the pasture to get our ball. Princess wasn't a problem, but Playboy would take a chunk out of anyone that dared to enter his domain. More than one of us kids felt the wrath of Playboy along with the awful feeling of pony teeth sinking into flesh....

Don't tell anyone...
Well I got my 172 pounds of glass picture frames yesterday. After a day and a half of "OH MY GAWD - WHAT WAS I THINKING" I finally got down to business today and started filling them. I started out slowly, with the 5x7's, printing just one, sometimes two or three, of my best sellers, framing only one of the prints. I figure I'll take the raw materials with me and if one sells I can replace it rather quickly. It will make it easier I think. That way I can just take a handful of blank frames out of my truck at a time rather than hucking all that weight to my 2 parking spaces, and replacing each as/IF they sell.
Gaining confidence, I moved onto my 8.5x11's. Again, doing just one or two of my proven sellers. Framing one, storing the others.
Then it was on to the mega frames - 13x19... I chose 2 of my prints to go that big with (and actually there are 4 or 5 more that will also be done up as well), and printed one of each.
Then I took a break.
I sat out on the porch with the Stupid Little Angry Dog™ and enjoyed the sunshine.
I had a cup of coffee.
Then I headed back in to grab a second cup.
I didn't make it back to the coffee maker.
For there, on the kitchen table, was the most wonderful sight I've seen in a very long time.
My work.
All framed.
And BEAUTIFUL.
I got tears in my eyes.
And I'm proud of ME.
Just don't tell anyone.

Walk Away, Home.
Strangely intriguing rooster butt.
For some reason this makes me think of some small Italian village where the chickens wander the streets and cobblestone alleyways with reckless abandon, only to be chased out of the way by a speeding pepto-pink vespa. OK... I don't get out much... and sometimes, a chicken butt is just a chicken butt.

Shopping Carts
I discovered I hadn't taken my little Powershot out of my pocket when I got to work last nite... So you get shopping carts today... Lucky.. Lucky.. you... This is the pile o' carriages that nobody will use. They are just about brand new and each and every one feels like your pushing a rock up a hill.

I was framed
I decided to do some frames for my prints that I'll be selling at the craft fair and of course the Ware Farmers' Market. I decided to stick with "simple"... glass - frameless... some with mats, some without, some with white borders around the pic, some print to edge - it depends on the pic...
People are SO picky... I felt it was best to find something that would protect the print... give it a finished look... and yet not be something that is distinctively "country" or "contemporary" or "too fancy" in style... I may still pick up some more frames that are wood or black or something... but for a majority of an offering... I decided on these.
What do you think?

Little Help...
Dear Readers,
Glad to see you all here. I've got a question for you. I have a craft fair coming up and I'd like your opinions. You all get a segment of my photo's here and I was wondering if you had any favorites that you think would do well as greeting cards, prints or even jewelry. Should I offer framed prints? or Prints at all? What about posters? As for jewelry, I'm thinking of doing some lapel pins (they are resin coated so they will look almost like they are embedded in glass). Which of my pics would you wear on your chest? Any? None? What size prints do you think? What about framed 4x6 or 5x8? or should I just offer "naked prints"? or maybe just matted prints ready for framing?
Maybe it depends on what kind of craft fair. This is to benefit the Children's Miracle Network - being held May 19th - in the parking lot of the Westfield, Mass Wal-Mart parking lot. I've taken 2 parking spaces, so I do have a good deal of room. Anyone have any display ideas? I need to be sure that it's wind-proof. I have a standard rotating card rack and several tables and a pop-up tent. But I could use some really good "eye-catching - get your butt over here" ideas.
Any help would be appreciated. What would you like to see?
Laura

Reflected sunset
I find this shot oddly striking... it was shot quickly thru the windshield of my truck as we were pulling away from the gas pumps... this could be a new favorite...
An Evening with the Eagles...
They were gorgeous... I SO need a bigger lens... Yes, we have a couple of eagles nesting in the area, and no, I'm not gonna say where... Sorry, but when we go and visit them there are already many, many people there and I'm afraid if more start to show up they will get scared off and abandon their nests... So you'll just have to watch the blog to keep an eye on them... OH... and if you want a better look... I've got a new "L" telephoto lens and teleconverter all picked out, now I just have to come up with the 2 grand I need to get Amazon.com to actually send them to me... Funny how that works... they will only send your stuff you put in your shopping cart when you click on the "pay now" button... and did I mention... I accept tips! OH.. and did I also further mention, I have a birthday coming up?? :)
Heh... subtle enough for ya?

Separation Anxiety
The Stupid Little Angry Dog™ loses her grip... no.. I did not photoshop this in any way... there were several barn cats watching the action on the left of the screen, she was trying to keep one eye on the purple snake and one eye on the kitties...
Another one for the Utata "Picture This" series, where they give you the title and you make the picture... this couldn't have worked out more perfectly... I was figuring on just getting some shots of her tugging on the toy and as luck would have it.. she lost her grip just as I hit the shutter... serendipity..

A new blog...
OK.. so here's the OFFICIAL announcement of last weeks "Good News":
I was contacted last week by Masslive.com (my local newspaper's website) asking me to write a Photo Blog for them. Here is post number ONE... YAY!
They haven't added my new blog to their menu system as yet, I imagine they were waiting for me to actually post something to it first... so for now you will have to get there via the direct address: http://blog.masslive.com/bayroadphoto/
Not to worry... I'll still continue with this one, and will try to keep each blog unique!

Portrait of a sister...
From Christmas 2006... Yes.. she's wearing the "special" bell... She had one... Sister Anita had one... Mother had one... Did I get one? NO... Apparently I just wasn't "special" enough...
(HEY.. Sis.. don't get too excited... you've been photoshopped... 10 years younger wouldn't you say? A little "dodge"... a little "burn"... and a whole lotta "smudge"... LOL I SO have to do me next...)

And MORE good news...
Just got this in my email:
Later...
Laura,Yeah... this is the Johnny Appleseed Trail Guide - given away free along Route 2 across the great state of Massachusetts! I can't wait to get a copy... or even notification of which image they selected for the guide... I'll certainly let you know as soon as I do... and you can bet that there will be a photo of the photo when I get a copy of the Guide itself!
I need to send you a (small) check for photo used in The Guide … You may have sent me your mailing address, but I can’t seem to locate it.
Can you tell me where to send this?
Thanks

Serving Tray/Bird Feeder/Party Hat
I'm not sure if I've posted pics of my old serving tray that I've turned into a bird feeder or not... well.. apparently it now has a third use... As a party hat for the local bear... Yes.. they are out and about and they trashed my feeding station the last 2 nites in a row... this morning the silver tray was gone altogether... so if you see a black bear out there wearing a silver party hat, ask him if I could have it back please.

OH... and there will be some news shortly as to a NEW blog where you will be able to find my pics... Nope... not gonna tell you where until it's a done deal and all set up... let's just say... it's awesome!

Diary of a Time Traveler
It's been 3 years in the making. I think I'm ready to go.
Yes... it's another project... This one was a photo with the title "Diary of a Time Traveler"... What? You haven't sat in your yard with a spaghetti strainer on your head?? pfft... you don't know what your missing!
I'd recommend clicking thru and checking out the notes on the photo as to what all those components are and what they do...

Yes... mud... and snow... *sigh** I hate spring! I've got a bunch of new toys sitting in my Amazon.com shopping cart but I can't order them... There is no freakin' way UPS is gonna make it up the driveway...
In an honor of Easter... Here's a question for ya'
ok... so.. you know how occasionally a question pops into your head and you just can't stop thinking about it... Well.. the Easter Season has brought this one to my mind... Maybe someone out there can answer it for me, either that, or maybe I can spread the love of going nuts trying to figure it out... Alright... here goes...
You know that prayer "Hail Mary" that goes..
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners..."
uumm... Wasn't Mary the mother of JESUS... Who is the SON of GOD... so... how could Mary be both the Mother of GOD.. and of JESUS??
Huh?? Answer me that!

The Powerful Magnet of your Charms
Ok.. so this one was a different type of Challange... This time.. they give you the Title for the picture and you shoot what it means to you... so this is "The Powerful Magnet of your Charms"... I'm not really sure about this one... Too dark? Too "Painterly"? "Too hard to figure out what the hell it is?" Help...

Wile E. Coyote heads to College...
My husband and son took off to Newport RI yesterday while I freakin' worked... They spotted this coyote on the campus of Salve Regina College... even scarier.. is that a DAY CARE Center with the colorful turkeys in the windows?

I received the following email in response to this post:

Hello Laura,
Your blog with the photo of the coyote on the campus of Salve Regina came to my attention through Google. I hope that your son and husband enjoyed their visit to campus over the weekend.
I wanted to address your comment about the coyote and the appearance that it seemed to be standing near a day care center. The building that the coyote was photographed in front of is used by our education department, and that room is a simulation of an elementary school classroom – for future teachers to test ideas etc.
With regards to the coyote, we have notified local and state authorities, but they are unable to remove the animal at the present time. We have notified the campus community of the coyote’s presence and have instructed individuals to keep a safe distance as a precautionary measure.
I just wanted to clarify this for you in case you were concerned.
Thank you.
