My slideshows were
created with the simply amazing
Apple iMac G5,and iPhoto, part of
the fantastic iLife software program
that easily allows you to
create a slideshow of your photographs
and add an audio track
to the background.My website was put together
with Dreamweaver.For additional support
I used the CD-Rom-
Learning Dreamweaver
by Lynda Weinman
Photographs taken on the Rogue and Applegate River.
I entered an edited version of this slideshow in
the Art Along the Rogue 2005
competition, and it was accepted
and part of the exhibit. The theme of the event and the
slideshow..."SIGNS of LIFE ALONG the ROGUE"
Hence the rock faces.
The breathtaking beauty of the Illinois Valley, the Biscuit Fire of 2002...
In this slideshow you can see some of the fires destruction
as well as majestic shots of the Valley and the Illinois River as we climbed in altitude to our destination, Babyfoot Lake.
Hiking through scorched trees for a mile or so before emerging out
onto a glittering green jewel of a lake nestled in the blackened landscape
dotted with regrowth .
A magnificently surreal day for one&all.
The dogs had a blast, and Maggie got stuck on a log that rolled out
and away and had to be coaxed into the dive back to the motherlog! Also pictures from the Chetco the Winchuck, Crater Lake and camping around Florence, Oregon a few years back.
Just another amazing day on the Oregon Coast, with a couple of happy dogs .
The slideshow wraps up with some pictures from a Native American cemetary
in the Brookings area just as the sun is setting.
The pelicans were all lined up on the rock out on the horizon watching
the same light show we were too.
I stumbled
across this project made when my
ex husbands' best friend and his daughter
came to visit us in 1997.
We had just
bought a video camera and were experimenting with
iMovie which
had just been released.
Darrell,
who works for Hightone Records,
had the new Hot Club of Cowtown CD
and
the footage was edited to it.
Yee Haw!
Joan & Gib were the original owners of my property here in SouthernOregon.
I was told Gib took this barn apart from its original home, across the river in Merlin, and reassembled it where it now stands. At one point a few years ago, a near tear down, I questioned where to start on the leaking, leaning, termite infested structure that was rapidly deteriorating with each insanely rainy west coast winter.
My friend Michael looked at the inside beams and said, "they just don't make 2 by4's like that anymore"...and the decision was made.
I was fortunate to get the magnificent red barn doors, originally from my friend Johannas' Victorian in San Francisco, hauled up here by my neighbor who was working at the time in the Bay Area.
A small miracle considering how much they weigh...
Dave removed the front of the barn, spraying for termites and replacing the rotting supports.
We put in insulation, drywalled the interior walls which made a huge difference in the quality of light inside, and he hung those huge doors on so beautifully they glide open and close with a sigh of gratitude and grace.
My brother came out for a month in the Winter of 2003, together we worked on the west wing, and having had such a great time and baited with a free plane ticket back out, he returned in the summer to help finish the exterior.
He did all the gutter work, reroofed the shop, crafted a shed for the mower and rebuilt the rotting bridge over the creek. What a guy!
Also, in this slideshow is the antique Chandler & Price Letterpress and vintage paper cutter my friend Jamie and I bought at a local garage sale. It was a seven hour nail biting operation gettin' it in the barn, but looks like it was meant to live and breathe in Gibs' barn too.
My gratitude to the three local printers for their help moving it here!My eternal thanks to Dave King who
did an extraordinary rescue
and renovation job.
