Old (pre-blog) Photographs

I somehow named this mess "Antipodean Acrimony." You have to save your photos as something, after all. The kayakers loved it.

About the only thing interesting about this guy is that the long one in the middle see-sawed, and repeatable motion in a rockstack is a rare thing.

Terrible photo, fun excercise. The hanger I made from Oriental bittersweet, a rather obnoxious overtaking weed. It hung from a maple branch, and each rock I put in pulled the branch down further and changed the center of gravity and the angles of the rocks, so I had to think two rocks ahead. Sorta.

I kept adding and adding to this, one of my favorite creations. This, I think, was the final version: Octuplets. There were some good balances in the mix, and it was a windstill July.

Rockchicken was a whimsical thing. I'm embarrassed I did that. Some rednecks knocked it over.

Remember I mentioned somewhere that I missed my rocks so much I did a stack in our hotel room while on vacation in Key Largo?
