Ah... Saturday... No shoots
Yay! I'm home today. I ALWAYS book a photo shoot on Saturday. Incredibly... no one requested that this week, so I'm left with a warm, wonderful, free Saturday. What to do?? Clean the garage!! My Christmas present to Christie was to make the garage so that she could once again park her car in there.
So here we are almost 6 months later and it's time for me to pay up.
More news though.
Gary and the boys at the studio decided that it was finally time to put the walls up in the front office. Our original idea was to use corrugated metal roofing material, both translucent and metallic. Well... DONE!
Have a look.
It has just been a big empty room till now. Mine's the one closest to the camera. we left the sides translucent so the light from the front window could get through.
Had an exciting shoot yesterday... Anne Penner from Radical Artists. I've always been intrigued by her from seeing her on the Radical site. She was so much fun to shoot with. Here's a couple of samples from the web gallery....

Good bye Walter Cass
Walter was a musician and an attorney... a father to four beautiful children and a voracious reader and studier of everything. I'll miss our conversations a lot!
He passed away on Saturday night at around 10:30 with all the kids around him.
He died the way he wanted to... at home... not in a nursing home or a hospital.
It was amazing how much he took care of... almost as if he knew. All the arrangements for the cremation, etc. were handled by him... sometime. He took care that it wouldn't be a burden on anyone.
It could have easily gone the other way. He could have survived the stroke and been confined to a wheelchair as an invalid for the rest of his life, in which case he would have died in a nursing home.
But he went out his way... good on ya Walter. You were a great man. We will miss you

Christie's Dad is dying
Christie's Dad, Walter had a stroke a little over a week ago. Despite all the efforts of the wonderful staff at Denver General Hospital, he has been unhooked and brought home to make the transition.
Christie, her brother Scott, her sister Kim and her sister Cindy are all over at the house, spending time as siblings, being around their Dad is his final hours. God Bless them.
I'm at the studio, kind of staying away and keeping busy until they need me, but I got to have dinner over there with them last night and it was really sweet to see them all together, dealing with their loss in their own individual ways.

He has always been more friend than Father/Son

Angel Eyes - New Grass Revival
This is a fantastic song by my all time favorite group. They were one of the first bluegrass bands I ever saw live and they were magical. Truly one of the first jam bands.
Anyway, Sam Bush has been a huge influence on my mandolin playing... especially my attack. He's the master of rhythm mandolin... and lead of course... but his attack is so percussive.
John Cowan is an amazing singer... Bela, well...can you say "Flecktones"
Pat Flynn... cool guitar player.
Together they were magical.

Hard to keep up
I'm not sure anyone is reading my blog, but it's fun to get on here and write stuff. Came across a couple of my favorite pictures from Christie and my trip to Australia last November. In the interest of keeping my blog alive, I'll post them.
