Christmas Chicken and some honey wine, please!
December 29, 2008 by honourmannthis year, the celebrated 2nd annual Christmas Chicken arrived in limited quantity- a special stout.

Happy New Year!
The Market. Tomorrow.
November 28, 2008 by JasonIt’s been awhile, but we’ll be back at the Asheville City Market tomorrow. There are new hours with the changing season, 10am til 4pm… the later hours should help to keep us all a little warmer.
As a special holiday treat for the next few weekends, Silverbelle the reingoat (as seen here) will be on hand for portraits with the kiddies. What better way to say ‘Happy Holidays!’ than with a goat?
A full 20% of each reingoat portrait purchase on Saturday will be donated to Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP).
We’ve also got some nice new magnets and prints available at the HH Fine Arts booth. Hope to see y’all there.

October 7, 2008 by JasonI just ran across this photo gallery linked to from the ASAP page… Noami Johnson has some nice shots of the official market grand opening. Here’s one of the HH Fine Arts booth and yours truly.
Not a bad looking set up, eh?
Gearing up for the holidays with some Reingoats from Spinning Spider Creamery
October 6, 2008 by honourmann
I had the pleasure today of visiting Spinning Spider Creamery to photograph some of their goats for a holiday promotion for ASAP- the goats were patience with the antlers, suprisingly. Thanks to Chris, Cullen, Silas and Morgan for their help to get these images.
in a rut
September 29, 2008 by honourmannOr not?
well actually, I am referring to the elk rut which is certainly ANYTHING but boring. The bugle of the bull, high pitch in tone, and the movements of each bull with its own herd of females. Jason and I met his Dad and Susan at Cataloochee for some biking and elk observing- we toured the old structures too- a beautiful day to watch and see!

Double-crested Cormorant

washed ashore on night # one at Toleak Point. I grabbed the 35mm camera; Jason grabbed the large format with the macro lens- his image here steals the show! Our dear friend holds a large red fish in his mouth. Appears he died whilst eating.
Kayaker at Toleak Point
September 10, 2008 by honourmann
wow, this is actually my first post on this blog. Jason has been the author!
I am posting a few of his images from our Washington trip-
we had backpacked 7 miles to Toleak Point, had settled into our camp and was just sort of playing around with the large format camera. A plan to document the sunset got distracted while noticing a kayaker coming towards us through the Sea Stacks. Jason captured this image just before the kayaker came ashore. As we were walking to get water later I stopped to talk with the kayaker named Paul. He had a custom boat made of fiber glass skin- really nice. He was lucky to have such calm and beautiful weather coming and leaving Toleak- we had a rainy day backpacking out and wished we had the weather from days before.
