Feed Store

Yesterday we got to shoot in the town's feed store. Tin ceiling and loaded with by gone trophies. I particularly liked the bulletin board advertising peacock eggs and a 1914 Studebaker......

Sorghum Hoedown

We wound up yesterday afternoon at the Simon farm outside of Portsmouth. Five generations of Simons have lived here since the homestead was founded in 1864. Kitty Wells fan John Simon is a Sorghum maker and grows the sugar cane like crop on his land. Each year there's a festival around making the syrup. We got a little bluegrass band and some dancers to perform in the 150 year old barn.

Lion's Tale

Before I left for Appalachia, I snapped the progress of the lion's tale. It's over six feet tall with hundreds of blooms. Will need a drastic pruning when the flowers fade.

Footers

We ended the day at Dari Creme having malted milk shakes and foot long hot dogs.... secret sauce.....don't ask.....

Portsmouth

The dilapidated glory of Portsmouth, Ohio

Weekend Dog

Hospital

We have been shooting in a hospital in rural Ohio/Kentucky. The sterile suits we have to put on have been the cause for a lot of jokes and fashionista styling..... and being middle America, the need to mention no guns allowed.....

Portrait

We were shooting in the sterile operating room of an Ohio hospital today when I noticed one of the surgical lights had a camera built in. The image popped up on one of the monitors and a portrait opportunity presented itself.

Afternoon Delight

The bees love the garden in LA and keep collecting pollen till the sun goes down. Here some ladies are enjoying the lavender as the sun sets.
