Usually when I start this weekly post with something about participation rates being kind of lax this week my email inbox suddenly gets several submissions. Not this week. LANDSCAPE didn’t ring the bell for many people. Maybe it was the cold weather this week. Maybe it was the excitement of… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 111 – LANDSCAPE
Saturday was a magical day at Jack Trice Stadium. Not only were the tacos at Taco Tailgate great as always. The #25 Iowa State Cyclones defense manhandled #4 TCU.

A few weeks back I decided to tackle Page 93 for THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT: Page 93 – How close can you get to someone without your presence being felt?

I have a rather shocking confession. I have never done LSD. However, if I had tried LSD, I imagine the experience would be something like walking across the High Trestle Trail Bridge on a dark night. Several weeks back my cousin Sarah and my Aunt Linda were in town and… Read More »LSD the Bridge
Most of the images that are located in the folder 11-29-07 were all taken at Iowa State: Man! I miss being able to turn out the lights at work! Those were the days! By adding these pictures to the SmugMug Gallery I was able to restore the following gallery: HOPE… Read More »11-29-07

Back in August I went up to Minnesota to visit some of my favorite peeps, but I also had an ulterior motive. For years I’ve driven up to the Twin Cities area and just south of Lakeville I would come across a strange collection of sculptures on the east side… Read More »My Minnesota Spirit Animal

A month or so back, my church (Boone First United Methodist Church, represent!) had their annual-ish summer is over kickoff party. So it doesn’t really have a name.
