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!
I’m sure many people clicked on a link or opened up an email and thought, I didn’t really want to see macro photography of a worm.
Here is the deal. It isn’t equipment. It isn’t technical knowledge. It really isn’t even opportunity that separates artists. It is how we see the world that makes us different.
At least that is a line I’m thinking of using on the opening page of this website. That is a subject for a different day though.
Here are a few more pictures from the The Intestines of the Earth Series:
Now if only I could find myself a snake! That would be something!
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…

The submissions for SIGNS:
This week’s theme is:
A look back at last year’s submissions for DIAGONAL RULE:
6 weeks left to make your mark on this failed experiment.
For starters, I’m obviously just backfilling missing blog posts at this time. But I’m sure you’ll forgive me… all things considered…
The idea for this week’s project was to photograph abandoned signs with the Retro setting on the new camera. An abandoned sign by my definition is a sign that is no longer cared for. Either the business that put it up is no longer around, or they no longer care for the sign. The sign has descended into a state of disrepair, and nobody is doing anything about it. Personally, I hope these sign continue to be neglected. I for one love abandoned signs.
All of these abandoned signs can be found in Boone, with the exception of one sign. The one sign can be found if you are driving east on US 30 between Boone and Ogden. It is a sign that has always intrigued me because of the crudeness of its composition and because of its location. It is a sign that has a very strong political message, but you have to be actually looking for the sign because it isn’t placed in a place of prominence. It is more buried in a ravine in the bottom of a ditch.
Here are the rest of the abandoned signs.
I determined during this project that I don’t love the retro setting on my camera, even though I do love a few of these images. I took these pictures on a rainy, drizzly day. Don’t be surprised if I revisit many of these subject in the future with the High Contrast Black & White setting on the new camera.
If you have an abandoned sign that you love that you think I might love as well, feel free to drop me an email with the location and a brief description of the sign.
