Bonsai Focus juniper styling—
In April of 2009 Bonsai Focus editor Farrand Bloch flew me down to California for a photo shoot at Boon Manakitivipart’s place. Boon was very generous in supplying the tree. I had a couple hours to study it, and then the cameras came out. Here are a few photos from that day (but for the full article be sure to see the magazine, BF 1/2010):

Tree’s in my yard!
Wow Mike that’s a great transformation. Would love to see you perform your magic on one of Anton’s Hm, maybe this summer?
Cheers Graham

That’s a great observation Al. We need to stop him before the sax becomes a clarinet!!
