Straw Bale Home /  by Paul Weinrauch

A straw bale home in Colorado was one of coolest places I have ever photographed. 

My images were featured inMother Earth Living, Boulder County Home and Garden and in

Housing Reclaimed by Jessica Kellner a few years ago. I often think about the beauty of this home. If you want to learn more about this home check out the story at: http://www.motherearthliving.com/green-homes/straw-bale-building-zmfz12mazmel.aspx. For a more in-depth look at the home check out Housing Reclaimed on Amazon.

I enjoyed listening to the homeowners talk about their experiences building their house with reclaimed materials.

The exterior images (above and to the right) were a bit tricky. I thought it might be fun to show you the setup. To get these  images I needed to use a 16 foot ladder.

I have included a picture of my setup (below).

Setup:

5d Mark II

24-70mm f/2.8L USM

Attached my tripod to the top of the ladder.

Radio triggering system (Pocket Wizards) with a remote camera cable from the ground.

The detail shots below are great examples of how much labor and love went into building this home.

Here are a few of the interiors of the straw bale home:

Bringing Seeds to Life /  by Paul Weinrauch

Last year I had the opportunity to photograph the process of of growing seeds for Boulder County Home and Garden. (you can read the story here: Reap What You Sow) 

I have trouble keeping plants in my house alive, to say the least, I was a bit nervous. 

I was given the seeds, everything I needed and asked to photograph as the seeds matured.

It was an interesting experience going through the steps to grow seeds and watch life come alive. 

My setup: 

2 Strobes with Umbrellas

White Seamless

Canon 5d Mark II with my 

24-70mm f/2.8L lens and 

70-200mm f/2.8L IS

I left all my lights, stands, seamless, and cameras set up throughout this process, about 3 weeks. 

Shout out to Ashley K. for being my hand model, thanks!

Hera are a few of the images I photographed during this process:
