By and large... Montana.
My kids and the places we explore.
Water, canoes, rafting, camping, woods, hunting and fishing.
Night.
All Images are by me.
Most are works-in-progress... first drafts. This is a sort of cross-section of my life. A collection of artwork and snapshot from the day-to-day activity.
Answers to frequently asked questions:
I do like apples and making hard cider out of them.
I am distantly related to John Chapman.
I like Scottish music... like Mogwai.

Photoset with 32 notes
The making of the pipe. Part 1.
All pipes start with a piece of briar which comes from Greece, Israel, and a couple of other places around the Mediterranean. Some of Marks pipes are free-hand shapes taking into account special characteristics of a particular piece of briar. Others are specific repeatable shapes. Depending on the outcome the final pipe may be “blasted”, dyed, natural or a combination of those finishes.
Mark is probably the only guy who warms his shop, in part, with Grecian briar scraps.
(Photographed with an EOS 3 and TMax 3200, in case anyone cares to know.)

Factory photos are always cool. This set is really nice. This could be in a catalogue or product website. It reminds me of a Gibson catalogue I had one time. Great work!

I almost want to take up smoking a pipe just so I could see if Mark would make me a pipe, great craftsmanship, can’t wait to see the further progressions. Oh, and I care that this was t-max, haven’t had the pleasure in a loooong time but it’s my fav!
