These images were in the folder 02-10-08/lwlenhanced:
There are some examples of really bad Photoshop work in this collection.
If you have forgotten, Little White Lye Soap is a company ran by Shannon. It is high quality soap that I highly endorse. I’d recommend you go out and buy about 20-30 bars!
Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve some artwork by Becca and Sara Junckner. Or it will involve more Little White Lye Soap. You never know.
A reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is LOW PERSPECTIVE:
A LOW PERSPECTIVE image is an image where the point of view is lower than normal. Get down on the ground and look up. Get down on the ground and look straight ahead. Both work.
Happy photo harvesting!
Hopping back into the backlog I found some pictures I took back on May 5. Some pictures of a beautiful toad that lived in my woodpile for a few weeks and some pictures of gross lilacs.
I was, of course, being facetious when I called lilacs ugly. Those lilacs can be found between my back fence and the alley. I transplanted 3 lilac bushes from my Mom’s lilac patch 3 years ago. Only 1 survived. This was the first year that the surviving bush bloomed. It was very exciting times around the Bennett homestead!
Here are some photos from the last 2 Iowa State football games I attended. Both ended in controversial defeats for Iowa State. The game against Oklahoma State, the bad call took the tying touchdown away from Iowa State, but I can understand why the bad call was made.
There were too many bad calls made in the Kansas State game to even talk about. At least these terrible calls didn’t keep Iowa State from going bowling!
These pictures taken with a point & shoot.
Thanks to Nate for scoring Dae Hee and I free tickets to the Kansas State debacle!
A week from now me, Jesse, and Russell should be well on our way to Memphis for one last Cyclone football game! I’m already excited for next season!
Hitting the backlog again. Going back to May when Mom, Teresa, Logan, and I went to What Cheer, Iowa for a flea market. After we left the flea market we went to Oskaloosa for lunch and then went through Pella on our way back home.
Here are pictures from that trip:
On the way back we stopped at Tasos Steakhouse for lunch. If you are ever in Oskaloosa, I would strongly recommend it.
Hitting the backlog for pictures from the Bennett Family Mother’s Day Barbecue:
I hope when you celebrated Mother’s Day 6 months ago, it was as awesome as our Mother’s Day celebration!
A reminder that this week’s theme is FLOWERS:
I could come up with some kind of fancy pants elitist definition for what would constitute a FLOWERS picture, but instead, I’ll just show you a few examples:
Carla Stensland
Kim Barker
Stephanie Kim
Mike Vest
Angie DeWaard
That should get your photography blood pumping.
Happy photo harvesting!
I don’t usually explain the titles of the entries in The Artist’s Notebook, but I’m going to explain this one.
Last night as I was restlessly watching a DVRed copy of THE HUNT FOR THE ZODIAC KILLER and thinking about general events of the day, I played a snap from Alisa from her church’s youth group. The theme from their current sermon series is “Manger Things”.
A reference to the Netflix hit (and second best show on television) STRANGER THINGS.
I thought that was a clever idea and I’m curious how it is. Often times when Christians try to appropriate pop culture it comes off like this:
I’m hoping it is actually pretty cool, but I guess I’ll just never know.
On Sunday, following the soup supper my church (Boone First United Methodist Church represent!) did its own version of MANGER THINGS. Here are a few images:
Solid work from everybody involved! I think it was one of my favorite Christmas plays we’ve done to date!
I wanted to start today’s entry into An Artist’s Notebook by thanking Alabama for not sending a serial pedophile to the Senate.
Thank you Alabama for not sending a serial pedophile to the Senate.
Thank you Alabama for not sending a serial pedophile that thinks that homosexuality should be a crime and compared it to bestiality to the Senate.
Thank you Alabama for not sending a serial pedophile that thinks that homosexuality should be a crime and compared it to bestiality and thinks that we should get rid of the amendments that freed the slaves, gave African-Americans the right to vote, gave women the right to vote, and outlaws voter suppression via taxes.
Thank you Alabama!
Now to the meat of this entry. On Sunday night we had our annual Christmas Play at the church. Before the play the youth group hosted a soup supper as a fundraiser for the mission trip to Houston. Here are a few photos from that event:
Thank you to everybody that came out and supported the youth group mission trip and donated the fat stacks of cash!
This is your reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER theme is WATER:
WATER! What a great theme! But rather than defining a WATER image, thought I’d just show you a few examples:
Carla Stensland
Monica Henning
Michelle Haupt
Micky Augustin
Happy photo harvesting!
