I love that when my phone rings I have no idea where or what my next job will lead me to and what adventure is just around the corner. This is a huge reason why I love what I do because it's the perfect combination of spontaneity, creativity, and I love meeting new people and learning about what they do! It's like being a Cultural Anthropologist minus the extra Ph.D degree and living with a tribe in the jungle, which I would totally be up for if Finn and Ryan could come too! Plus I'm extra proud of myself becuase this three day shoot ended with the last day starting at 5:30 a.m. to be there for the sunrise in Shafter! Wahoo!
Speaking of having different interests, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Jake Thoene who is a novelist, educator, deputy sheriff, energy contractor, inventor and entrepreneur, and owner of Powerhouse Systems. He is also a husband and proud dad of four boys!!! I don't know when he sleeps but I was honored that he selected me to document one of his projects! Plus you know me, I love to support other local businesses because we have to stick together to keep entrepreneurship alive.
It was an educational experience and I had no idea that farmers could be paying $100,000 a month in electricity bills to run water from a well!!! WHAT!!! That's a trip to crazy town!!??!?!? Now I'm even more of a Solar Panel fan knowing that it's greener in more ways than one. There's a flyer below in case you know someone or need some Solar Power give Power House Systems INC. a ring and tell Jake I sent you so he knows to give you an extra hug.
