Scope and content
Clever photography makes this patio shelter appear to blossom out of the rock in front of this old boat company, possibly Cummings Boat Co. on Ruston Way, and its pier. In actuality, it is a small scale model enhanced in size by trick photography and perspective. The tiny garden shelter has bonsai trees, futons and curved seating around a outdoors wood stove. Photo series ordered by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
