Then we put cedar blocks in some and damp-off in a couple of the others. <br /><br />I have some ideas for images using these suitcases. Should be fun! I think we're going to move from the studio into the house (and our bed!)... should be fun.Alex Sollahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222528761667893874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869884639869307838.post-36231193599915512662011-06-22T08:22:50.532-04:002011-06-22T08:22:50.532-04:00I have a soft spot for old suitcases myself; the o...I have a soft spot for old suitcases myself; the only downside is how they umm, er...smell sometimes.

You both deserve killer images of your best work. <br /><br />Or, if you want to get really funky, find a couple folks who want to learn to shoot their artwork and have them host me for a workshop. I'll come down and we can visit and talk pots too, and shoot some fantastic images.Alex Sollahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222528761667893874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869884639869307838.post-58508080713363695522011-06-17T16:16:24.536-04:002011-06-17T16:16:24.536-04:00As I use to tell Mark- if you leave me take me wit...As I use to tell Mark- if you leave me take me with you....<br />Love the teapots down below- they are pretty wonderful.<br />I have been doing some outside shooting and for some reason I can deal with the results better then my in the cube stuff.<br />No one said this stuff was easy but taking photos makes us nuts! We were just wishing we lived closer to you and then we would just pack the car and come to your house.cookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869884639869307838.post-53343607356364184112011-06-17T12:11:05.754-04:002011-06-17T12:11:05.754-04:00Nice work!

I was thinking about a kitchen setting too... but I figured I needed to get the lighting ideas sorted out before I loaded everything up outside or inside the house.... especially if it is going to keep raining intermittently.Alex Sollahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222528761667893874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869884639869307838.post-65522953378044216002011-06-17T11:32:16.506-04:002011-06-17T11:32:16.506-04:00How about trying a less sterile environment?
