RAT HOUSE (June 2008)
So back in my former life I was in grad school for Animal Behavior. Since I have a great love of maligned species I decided I was going to do my thesis on handling methods for laboratory rats. I made it through one experiment and decided it just wasn’t for me, so I left with a Master’s. However, I had about 40 rats kicking about after that experiment that would be euthanized if I couldn’t find them homes (this is part of the reason I decided animal experimentation just wasn’t for me). I’d decided that rats were for me, though, so I took two home myself, House and Wilson, and gave one to a man from out of town who wanted a new companion for his elderly rat. That still left 37 to figure out what to do with, so I took some pictures of them in the hopes that someone online would help me out. The story has a happy ending; a rat rescue in the Bay Area took all the rest and they lived out their lives in a modified barn <3<3
How Cute Are Those Piggies In The Window? (June 2008)
Just some pics of our guinea pigs enjoying the summer sunshine!
Scully’s got some health problems at the moment, so I don’t know how many more photoshoots we’ll get with her :/ We’re trying to enjoy the time with her we have left as much as we can!

Carmen Sandiego shoot, February 2008
I just realized I missed a set, so here’s a little jump backwards in time to bring you photos from the filming of James Mah’s “Where in North America is Carmen Sandiego?” Which you can watch below:
Now on to the pictures.

Jenny’s Sushi Birthday, 2008
I’m about three years behind again on the Digitalis project; how did this happen?!?!? Ah well. Here’s some nice pics of Jenny’s birthday party three years ago, where she made sushi and we happily ate it.
Sac Steampunk Society Bohemian Experience, 2011
One of the great things about knowing musicians in the area is getting the opportunity to join them at uber-cool events. So last Saturday my band, Never Right Now, got to play an awesome show alongside Laura Ortiz (aka Belle Francisco) and her band, Twilight Willow, at a Bohemian party put on by the Sacramento Steampunk Society. The host converted a barn into a steampunk club house and the decor was absolutely amazing. I tried absinthe for the first time, and we met some great people and musicians. Also, the crowd at this performance was one of the most receptive so far, and we sold many CDs. Very cool! When I had a chance I snapped a few pictures and got to mess around with on-camera flash.
Auburn State Rec Area, 2008
In early April 2008 we went out hiking in the Auburn State Recreation Area for Ken’s birthday. It was mostly fun, until we got lost. We met a rattlesnake and a lizard and quite a few butterflies. I also played with RAW files for the first time.

New Drawing (Strapped)
I just seem to like drawing John Simm in bondage gear. Here he is as the Master in Doctor Who. Check out that confident smile; the balance of power has already shifted and nobody else has even noticed.
Brunch at K St, 2008
This looks like it was when Laura had the idea to have a girls-only brunch.
I don’t have much technically to say about this set except I agonized over white balance for some reason.
I can’t help thinking of Pan’s Labyrinth. I’m sorry, Laura.
Jack, plain and tall (and proud).
Casey kind of looks like Oliver Twist here or something.
Harry wants no part in this.
Arizona Twilight, 2005
Hey, what’s this, Ansate? Why, it’s a re-scan of an old negative with my new Epson Perfection v500. Lovely as it is, the Epson decided that it needed to help me a little too much with color correction so this one took a while to approximate the original. Which, by the way, looked like this:

Still want to buy a print, Jacki? 😉
