It was another great season for the Iowa State football team. I did not take very many photos this year, but here are a few of the few that I took. Without commentary.

I am already excited for next season!

Some randomness in this collection.

I took the pictures this year for the Computer Mine’s annual Christmas Card. I did not edit or select the pictures for the actual card, so these pictures will differ from the card.

Here are a few pictures of my fellow miners…

A look back at last year’s submissions for DIAGONAL RULE:

6 weeks left to make your mark on this failed experiment.

I did a little work for the Howards recently. Here are a few examples:

General housekeeping note:

I am so incredibly behind on my photo editing that I’m going to take a week or so off from blogging in an attempt to get caught back up. After all like the guy with all the billboards in eastern Iowa says, “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”

I wonder if that guy has a book of such wisdom.

Either way, when I am caught up with editing pictures of the “paid” variety, I will try to serve the Master that is my website again. I will again post blogs and you will again take a few seconds to delete them.

If I were to ever have such a thing as a favorite cat, that cat would be one of the cats pictured here. His name is Lucky, but sometimes he goes by Duke. See if you can pick him out.

There are also a few pictures of Karma in this batch. She is the standard bearer for dogs. I’m sure Naima will get there, as soon as she is done teething. At least my furniture and carpet will be glad when she is done teething.
