Midday
Michigan Bar Rd, Sacramento County
sunny, clear, warm
shooting with Wendell Minshew
We've been driving around looking for places to shoot - it's all quite photogenic around here, but we're also looking for somewhere that Wendell can photograph me - we get some portraits in an open rocky area, then hit dirt roads and find places I really love -
here the barbed wire fence has become deeply embedded in the tree - The tree has simply incorporated the wire into itself -
Wendell has me squat down by the wire hugging tree and then I see this shot -
We drive aorund more and find our way back to the same area with dirt roads again...
A little later on Latrobe Road
a little more breezy
signs along the fence proclaim
"Oak Woodland Preserve & Working Ranch
www.sacramentovalleyconservancy.org"
This is such a lovely area, but tough to get just the right shots in midday sun - if only we had the time today to hang out and wait for evening light! Oh well, we'll just have to come back again.
I hug some barbed wire myself to get this shot.
Wendell's trusty 4 wheel drive
As we're heading back, we have to stop for a couple more shots -
(the prints are very high key but negs will be just wonderful)
Post Script
A couple shots Wendell took of me working...
