Pop's Gardens co-owners Michael Musika and Ramona explain one of their gardening business's primary products, and their motivation for being in business. The primary product is a highly artistic birdhouse, made with up-cycled, reclaimed cedar and redwood. The motivation is so that they can lead a healthy life together while serving the community.

JAN 16, 2023 // I SEE DOUBLE

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

This is too boring for even me to watch. I heard one time that in Japan they have whole TV stations where it’s just people sleeping in perfectly arranged beds, or eating fish soup, or putting on rubber boots or rain on a window. So I thought I wanted to participate because it seemed beautiful and orderly.

Voila, it’s the third installment in our series of experiments employing our father’s old Pentax K1000 camera. This roll we changed lenses to the Bell + Howell 28mm F2,8, hoping to learn the inherent advantages and disadvantages of each of the three lenses in his kit. These pictures were shot in Sea Ranch, California.
