as some of you already know, i found my way to instagram only about six months ago.  along with some photos of my impertinent chicken, glimmer, i also post many behind-the-scenes setups for my STILL blog images. i was getting so many technique questions via email, that it made sense to show how low-tech my studio and gear actually are.

today i was working solo, with no hubby or kids, otherwise it would have been a perfect day for a behind-the-scenes shot. i woke up to snow softly falling, and a fresh three-inch blanket of white. so i headed out with white tag board, tripod, and camera. at one point i was so deep in snow it was melting down the small of my back. a perfect insta-moment if ever there was one.

above is my old friend burdock: major nuisance to pet owners and wool wearers worldwide, and the original inspiration for velcro.
