I'm going to the lake.

Friday, August 6, 2010
Lake Tahoe, to be exact. For those of you who aren't well acquainted with California, Lake Tahoe is a little vacation spot in Northern California, which happens to be where I am going next week with my family. My online presence will be somewhat limited (although I will still be checking emails), but don't fret while I am away! I've got a fabulous lady who will be looking after this little blog for the next week and I know she will grace you with some wonderful posts.

Now if I could only get a pretty model to photograph at the lake...

i hate to say it but that bed had to have been photoshopped in...it just doesn't make sense otherwise right?

ps: i am heading up to a lake this weekend, i loooove the lake!

That must've been a very shallow lake for that bed to be placed right in the middle. I like it.

Claire Kiefer on August 6, 2010 8:06 AM said...

I want to be sleeping on that bed surrounded by water right away!!!

ooooh have fun! we shall be expecting photos? :)

The Drifter and the Gypsy on August 6, 2010 8:31 AM said...

@the notebook doodles: I'm bringing both my digital camera and film camera, so if the photos come out good I'll share them :)

But I don't know any models in Lake Tahoe, so all the pictures will just be landscapes and such.

I am going to Lake Tahoe tomorrow :) I love it there. And maybe the bed was built with extra long legs? Or is sitting on some sort of submerged object....

curious constellation on August 6, 2010 10:43 AM said...

Oooh, have fun, take pics & relax! (:

Reina on August 6, 2010 2:09 PM said...

Jealous! Have fun :)

Beautiful photos.

Rellacafa on August 6, 2010 8:26 PM said...

I've been catching up on a bunch of posts all at once...you have SUCH an excellent eye for PRETTY! Thank you :)

Bhakti Omwoods on August 6, 2010 8:36 PM said...

If you're going with your family, maybe you have someone in your family who can model? :) We do this all the time with my 2 younger sisters (other one is a photographer, other painter). So much fun. Just throw some cool clothes on your mom (I don't know, maybe she's wearing them already) and make some innovative pretty history! Anyhow, have a rejuvenating time!

Bhakti Omwoods on August 6, 2010 8:37 PM said...

Even better, model yourself?! I love landscape photos and take plenty of them myself, but models add a lot to any picture..

The Drifter and the Gypsy on August 6, 2010 8:44 PM said...

@Bhakti Omwoods: Unfortunately, I am an only child. I've always wanted a beautiful older or younger sibling to photograph though.

I might try to take some self portraits... who knows.

But thanks for the suggestions :)

toi ♥ on August 7, 2010 6:36 AM said...

have a wonderful time!

and about the bed on the lake photo, mmm.. maybe it is a very shallow part, maybe the bed has longer legs or maybe it was put over some sort of platform and then pushed inside the lake.. and maybe all of the above, who knows!

These pictures are incredible, I have no idea how the bed one could possibly be done, but that makes it even more amazing.
Have a lovely time, it sounds like the perfect getaway :)

Do you have an online photography portfolio/ gallery?

The Drifter and the Gypsy on August 12, 2010 5:59 PM said...

@Stargazer_Lilly: At this moment, I do not. I have a flickr (which you can see the link in the sidebar), but am looking into making a website soon.

tessa on August 13, 2010 9:14 AM said...

just got to love them! especially the second one!

The Management on May 8, 2011 8:01 PM said...

The bed is easy. :) Wooden platforms for swimmers are pretty common, anchored like buoys, they stay stationary but they still float. Run a boat up to one, drop off the bed and linens and set it up. As long as it was light enough/the platform was buoyant enough, there wouldn't have been an issue. (In a real life situation, it probably would have been necessary to inflate some bladders under the platform to support a regular mattress, but it's totally doable :)) A friend and I spent a couple of nights on one once - we just set up a tent on it and rowed in and out :)
