The Fenstermacher family moved to Elliquiy from the Midwest when Henry was in his youth and he dutifully returned to the community after completing his art degree in California, bringing his talent with him. In the many years since then, he has become involved in several projects for the betterment of his beloved town and his studio raises money for charities several times each year. In the last 15 years, Mr. Fenstermacher has begun to retire more and more and he now relies mostly on his employees to keep the business running in his absence. <br><br>The studio space is definitely one of the little jewels that Elliquiy has to offer, even though the name hasn't brought much fame outside of the area. Upon walking in the front doors, a warm display space greets you. The large windows from the front are repeated on the left and a second door opens up into an outdoor garden, (http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/Places/holt-1003-0080_zps025c56e4.jpg) which the photographers often use for engagement photos. Following the path straight ahead and to the right, you come to a hallway which leads to a small indoor studio (http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/Places/tm2_zpsd621c758.jpg) on the left and the office (http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/Places/contemporary-lounge-and-living-room-loft-interior-ideas-2_zps59d1d5da.jpg) and customer lounge (http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/Places/Black-Rugs-and-Decorative-Furniture-in-Modern-Lounge_zps40fb1d8f.jpg) on the right. Just looking around this space shows Mr. Fenstermacher's love of his occupation and knowing that every contractor, landscape artist and salesman consulted in its construction was found locally shows his dedication to the community.

				Light filtered through the two walls full of windows in the reception room at the office, bringing with it a parade of colors from suncatchers that hung upon them. It was winter, the lone season that didn't display a show of green from the garden and Ichiro (http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/People/sexyasianguy63_zps6e8c1d90.jpeg) had put up the window decorations as a means for making up for that. He had arrived in the town of Elliquiy at the beginning of Autumn, with plenty of time to enjoy the studio's beautiful outdoor space, but while Oregon's winters reminded him pleasantly of the youth he'd spent in northern Japan with his Grandparents, he was far more fond of milder weather. Today was holding in the 40's, there was a fair amount of snow on the ground that had seemed beautiful just a day or two ago but the rain of the night was turning it to mush. <br><br>So indoors was far more appealing, even though the studio had been vacant of customers. It was a good thing that the boss had made the studio such a beautiful place to be - even though he had nearly made him bankrupt in the process. Very few in the community were aware that Mr. Fenstermacher's ego was the real means of the success of his business. When he hadn't been able to succeed as a breakthrough artist, he found fame in philanthropy. Now that he was entering into his 60's he was looking forward to retiring as a local hero, and regardless of his faulty business practices he was a decent man and Ichiro was grateful to him for sponsoring his work visa. <br><br>With a deep sigh, the brown-haired man looked at the walkway out the front door. The weather kept most people from window shopping today and there were very few appointment in the books this week. Christmas portraits were over so there was Valentine's and that was it aside from infant milestones and the odd couple's engagement snapshot. Elliquiy was a lovely little town, but there was very little to do during office hours. In truth, it was the out of office assignments that pleased him most. When he had a chance to photograph a community event or a wedding, it was really something special. He enjoyed capturing emotions and moments - a bit of life's truth. But the office work was... ok. <br><br>Ichro walked into the lounge and poured some hot water in his mug to begin a fresh cup of black tea; he'd need the caffeine unless business picked up.
