He told us stories of how the owner would open the window in the restaurant after dinner and let in the friendly raccoon, who would travel from table to table begging for table scraps from the customers, and for dessert would sit on the…
celeb photographer Jason Odell rented the log cabin for a few days. turns out his wife is a thriftstore junkie like myself. and they have a babe, too. we love your work, jason. thanks for stopping by.
