the monkey blue gallery

Meet Mr. Monkey Blue. He was found, abandoned, under a car at an auto dealership in Rio Vista, California. He was a week and a half old. My cousin, Andrea, took him and bottle-fed him for five weeks. Then he came to live with me.

He is simply one of the coolest kitties I have ever had the pleasure to know.

I’ve been building a photo studio where I now live ~ this amazing raw warehouse space in East Oakland. We finally got this big old display case out of the spot where all the natural light comes in from the two rows of clerestory window that rise up from the roof above. I put up a backdrop and shot a couple pictures with my phone. Can’t wait to get a real photographer in here to do test shots. I may need to get more gear, i.e., diffusions screens, because the light can get pretty intense.

I also put up backdrop rack on the opposite side of the main room and took a couple pictures there as well.
