Sometimes I'll post in progress photos on my blog, but rarely. The new work that I'm excited about is too raw for public viewing via photos...I even try to dissuade garden tours until some maturity has taken place. I'm with you.

I like to put progression photos of work I've done in my portfolio - it helps that I'm the one that maintains them. You almost never see progression photos - I suspect that by year 3 or 4 said gardens have already been butchered by the lawn service.<br /><br />Love your photos and gardens as always!gonativegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446415555106120937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-4942025151380913022010-08-18T08:50:47.618-07:002010-08-18T08:50:47.618-07:00Hi Michelle -- this is off topic but just wanted t...Hi Michelle -- this is off topic but just wanted to say that I LOVE the name of your blog (and like the tagline even better). I live in SF but the photos of your designs just fuel my desire to somehow manifest a ton of $$ and relocate to the wilds of Marin! Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to keeping up with your blog.<br />Also, do you have any front yard designs I could check out here in the City?

It is easier to ID the plants, but that's not a good look for a portfolio image or for a website that is espousing fine landscape design.<br /><br />Christine, I'll let you know when the article is published. It's for a UK publication.Deviant Deziner, aka Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469269749640113223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-18565863421650935442010-08-17T09:50:36.137-07:002010-08-17T09:50:36.137-07:00Michelle, I totally agre, but I have to say that t...Michelle, I totally agre, but I have to say that the newly planted pics of your work are very interesting to look at from a planter's point of view. Sometimes when the garden pics are very grown in, it is hard to see the actual plants, 'forest for the trees' so to speak. If you don't mind mr asking,what camera do you perfer to work with. I bet you have more than one...Phragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604573238601821933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-3367505503567971072010-08-16T14:56:29.899-07:002010-08-16T14:56:29.899-07:00Oh my gosh- YES!

If someone has put all that hard work into a job, the least they can do is make sure their shadow isn't in the photo. Can't wait to see the article.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.com
