State Fair Koan

August 18, 2010 Christopher D. Bennett 4 Comments

I went to the State Fair with Sara on Sunday night with the mistaken belief that we would go see Vanilla Ice and Tone Loc in concert.

We were going to be ironic, not because we thought this would be good, but in the end, the joke was on us. The crowd was so large, that we instead just ate more delicious State Fair food and then ate some more delicious State Fair Food.

Some pictures:

Sara thought this lamb looked like Jupiter.

This ride almost killed me last year.

What is the State Fair Koan?

Look at the picture below:

Try to answer this impossible question:

What is prettier: Sara and I or our art?

Hopefully more people will find inspiration from what the Random Generator spit out this week:

I ‘m pretty sure that there won’t be a lot of people out there clamoring for more of these pictures, but I like the frogs.

Frog with Tail

More pictures from the “Frog with Tail” series:

Also while I was out and about I almost got a decent turtle picture. A satisfactory turtle picture has eluded me for quite some time. But here are my near decent turtle pictures:

For those that don’t like the creatures of the bog, next week’s images should be more agreeable.

I wasnt able to get out and about to see much of the flooding of Ames yesterday, but here are a few pictures from the flooding near the Computer Mine:

Maybe next flood I will have a chance to prowl around and take more photos. Hopefully that flood isn’t in two days.

Dawn has taken quill in hand again and this is the result:

Paths

Two paths we could go love
Two roads we could follow
One leads us to warmth love
Where hearts don’t feel hallow

Lead me gently my love
Down the road we travel
Strengthen ties that bind love
Never to unravel

We could part the road love
For one taken before
Nursing broken hearts love
Forever close that door

That’s not what I want love
That distance from your heart
Hold me in your arms love
Even when we’re apart

The Random Generator has been fired up and spit out a high quality theme for this week:

Silhouettes

I don’t think this theme needs a definition, so I’ll just leave you to it!

I’m going to publish the parts of the Personal Photo Project out of order compared to when they were taken relative to other Personal Photo Projects. I am doing this so that these pictures don’t get pushed back well past the birth of Baby Gorshe.

3 of 6

Here are a few other pictures taken during “The 3 of 6 Photo Sessions”. Some of these I simply find funny because of something Jen or Derrick is doing.
