<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I came home early from work yesterday with a migraine. Little Miss Layla could tell that I did not feel well. So when I got into bed, she joined me. And tried to comfort me. By laying exactly on my chest! And all up in my face! I snapped this photo of my view of her huge cat head. What I didn't realize at the time was that Izzy was also in bed and had just pulled off a photobomb!</span>

I spent many hours helping my father develop photos in the darkroom. So when Vox Sacramento posted their call for artists for a very unique photography show, I jumped at the opportunity to participate.<br />

54 photographers were assigned different time slots on the same day - Saturday, June 2. Each took to the streets of Sacramento to capture the image that moved them. My time slot? 2pm. And I'm excited to soon share with you the little piece of my home town that capture my heart at that exact moment in time! </div>

Translated, Kujala means Lane. He worked in the timber industry for 50 years. He went to work in 1924 at the age of 16 for the Union Lumber Company at Camp 35, on the south fork of Ten Mile, as a whistle punk for 40 cents an hour. In his long career in the industry, he worked from Santa Cruz, Calif., all the way to Sitka, Alaska, primarily as a faller. Ray attended Santa Rosa Business College, graduating in 1929. He worked in many of the first layouts in the old growth forest in this area, including the first layout of the north fork of Ten Mile where he hand-felled the biggest tree he ever fell at 20-plus feet across the stump. It took him two days. He worked with many of the first saws that came into the industry. Starting with the drag saw, he used a Hansen, made in Eureka. The first chain saws he used included a Mercury, two-0cylinder, weight about 125 pounds and had a 5-foot bar. Other firsts in his life included owning one of the first Harley-Davidson motorcycles ever sold and riding it to Minnesota and back, all on dirt roads. Over the years, he worked as a Fort Bragg police officer, and also owned the Finnish Coffee Parlor here.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; ">Always health conscious, Ray lifted weights and exercised at night in the logging camps. The men in the camps would joke with him and ask, What’s wrong, Ray, didn’t you get enough exercise on the job? Ray became known as the town wrestler and boxer. When the carnival came to town, theyd always look Ray up to come and wrestle or box their man. They knew Ray would put on a good show.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; ">Ray was anything but ordinary. He had many hobbies surf fishing with a throw-net, bird hunting, guns, dancing and teaching dancing, pool, wrestling, investing, gardening in his back yard, and health and fitness. Try health fitness in a logging camp in the 1930s and 1940s! He appreciated the era he grew up in and lived his life to the fullest with his chin held high, always looking to the bright side, carrying with him many words of wisdom and a sense of humor. He will surely be missed.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; ">He was preceded in death by his wife Frances, brothers, Ano and Alfred, and sister Elsie.

Kitten loves DeftonesI arrived home from work last night to a sleepy kitten curled up on the couch pillows. My first response was to capture the peaceful moment in a photograph. But then Izzy stirred, woke up, stretched, and yawned.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwev9AoEknJyi3BujuUgFWBahl4iyTjktBQIqWQLW_k3VN5KZjDXlWELsw038iEBR3F7I-6kz9GQ_IPynve7E9BqDed0TZsMdEV4LcXdfY-xL_HQeX3AzIk39zqouvXBciBeX5qhD6G8k5/s1600/Photo0541..jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwev9AoEknJyi3BujuUgFWBahl4iyTjktBQIqWQLW_k3VN5KZjDXlWELsw038iEBR3F7I-6kz9GQ_IPynve7E9BqDed0TZsMdEV4LcXdfY-xL_HQeX3AzIk39zqouvXBciBeX5qhD6G8k5/s400/Photo0541..jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658268649282856034" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I couldn't help sharing the hilarious photo with my friends. One friend remarked that he thought Izzy looks a lot like the cat on the Deftones album cover. I think he may be on to something there!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsSYBJEUjkrciVU2xT8WaCug6bU7sCc_tYQ6awn7SoewKi3qZiWRG7nKFrGwpAFHJL7FAzmOy-s4QtPXrOWpAq-L5Ur5hZtfKj81rNkwbI9ihEyhdYlQO_zXoAE9x25DcJfkS2OGFYZPY/s1600/deftones-screaming-cat.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsSYBJEUjkrciVU2xT8WaCug6bU7sCc_tYQ6awn7SoewKi3qZiWRG7nKFrGwpAFHJL7FAzmOy-s4QtPXrOWpAq-L5Ur5hZtfKj81rNkwbI9ihEyhdYlQO_zXoAE9x25DcJfkS2OGFYZPY/s400/deftones-screaming-cat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658268649396936658" border="0" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04753677095509051095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268468628923717999.post-74902564207390042102011-09-26T16:13:00.000-07:002011-09-26T16:27:47.181-07:00My eBay score!Earlier this year, I posted a photo called <a href="http://eviesark.blogspot.com/2011/01/men-drinking-beer.html">'Men Drinking Beer'</a>. In this photo, one of the men is actually my biological great-great uncle, Gustaf Kujala. I found this image on the Kelley House Museum's website. And it had a related publication listed as <span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">"Early Finns of the Mendocino Coast," Mendocino Historical Review Summer 1988. I've spend some time looking for this out-of-print publication.<br /><br />So today must be my lucky day because I was finally able to locate it thanks to a seller on eBay! It should arrive the first week of October. I can't wait to see what else I discover about my family!<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRG4Qvoehr4FNbGY7o6tRlD7ozZaP4RN8NAfyUxX8RfJHIsfkA7eObBHaZj2VIxG7F0N9nGCisjOIf9p3JH2V2BKf90xZQSpQeWYWZW99nCDNC05wgwuoVApKA3rSxrISPHUPLkdpQVexj/s1600/eBayISAPI_Page_1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRG4Qvoehr4FNbGY7o6tRlD7ozZaP4RN8NAfyUxX8RfJHIsfkA7eObBHaZj2VIxG7F0N9nGCisjOIf9p3JH2V2BKf90xZQSpQeWYWZW99nCDNC05wgwuoVApKA3rSxrISPHUPLkdpQVexj/s400/eBayISAPI_Page_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656813763779406242" border="0" /></a><span class="fbPhotoCaptionText"><br /></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04753677095509051095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268468628923717999.post-48598100402086191602011-08-22T17:40:00.000-07:002011-08-29T17:50:21.306-07:002nd annual Bent Twig art show<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I am thrilled to curate an upcoming art show and benefit fundraiser at Vox Sacramento Gallery! The "Bent Twig" art show's opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 5-9pm.
<br />
<br />The Bent Twig art show will feature a family tree of artists helping artists - an event in which established artists are coupled with emerging artists to display their work side by side. Major and established artists from the Sacramento area are invited to participate in this art show by selecting a newer or relatively unknown artist (their "Bent Twig") to partner with and hang hanging their art next to during the run of the show, thus creating a family tree of support in the local art scene.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Also, during the evening's art show, a silent auction fundraiser will be held to benefit Vox Sacramento. As you may know, Vox just moved into their own space, so expect lots of great things to come there! Please also consider donating art work for the night’s silent auction items. <span></span>
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">As some of you may recall, the Bent Twig art show was first held to support <a href="http://eviesark.blogspot.com/2010/09/call-for-artists-danny-madsen.html">Danny Madsen, who a year ago lost his battle with Leukemia</a>. Danny was such a huge supporter of the Sacramento art scene, so it is an honor to continue this art show in his name. Plans are already under way to have the Sacramento BloodSource on hand to host a mobile blood and bone marrow drive during the art show’s opening reception.
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">If you are interested in participating in the Bent Twig art show and the Vox fundraiser, please let me know. </span></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04753677095509051095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268468628923717999.post-16795861333434394082011-08-07T10:05:00.000-07:002011-08-10T10:55:19.867-07:00Forever home neededAbout two months ago, my parents discovered that someone had dumped a young momma cat and her four kittens in their neighborhood. My parents have been feeding the cat family and have since moved them into a spare room in their house so that they will be safe, fed, and socialized while they are fostering them.
<br />
<br />The four kittens will get their first round of shots today and everyone will be spayed/neutered in about a week. After they receive a clean bill of health, we will be looking for forever homes for the four kittens. My parents have decided to keep Momma Kitty. If you are interested in opening your heart and home to a kitten, please let me know.

I'm certain that they believe me when I tell that that I'll be right back in five minutes!<br /><br />But this morning, one kitty had gone A.W.O.L. And the house was eerily quiet. And that can only mean one thing - Izzy is up to no good!<br /><br />I found her in the bathroom sleeping in a basket of towels, her fat furry butt hanging over the edge. That little trouble maker always makes me laugh! Even when I have to rewash all of the already clean laundry!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC98XWMPRep2pqeMEY1sfrtBoxaJ5uuk97h_tKIUyr5NDBtCFP2PTrOvqNVM8lylLEAUHYiNIL0Sc3pPTmcaTcd7SS4NWP8-5NeW6kuMXCzhA9P2tD5_QZWo-xi6fsGosAiDUPMu2jOMWD/s1600/Photo0416.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC98XWMPRep2pqeMEY1sfrtBoxaJ5uuk97h_tKIUyr5NDBtCFP2PTrOvqNVM8lylLEAUHYiNIL0Sc3pPTmcaTcd7SS4NWP8-5NeW6kuMXCzhA9P2tD5_QZWo-xi6fsGosAiDUPMu2jOMWD/s400/Photo0416.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591886274387558610" border="0" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04753677095509051095noreply@blogger.com1
