Photographer. Tenderloin enthusiast. Road trip maker. Iowan. Cyclone.
Still hammering away at that back log. Here are a few pictures from my trip to Algona with Joe. We went to Algona so Joe could pick up a van to server as a distribution center for his cannabis oil business. The trip didn’t work out. We didn’t come home… Read More »Algona is an Anagram for Analog
A bit from the old backlog. These pictures were taken on July 20. The zinnias were photographed in my very own Photography 139 Flower Garden. The garage sale pictures were from my Grandma’s somewhat controversial garage sale. I think that is the spin doctor way to describe the garage sale.… Read More »Zinnia Sale
As you become aged, you get invited to less and less parties. I think I was invited to 3 toddler birthday parties and 1 anniversary party last year. I think that was it. My entire social calendar for 2017. The anniversary party was for the parents of Sara and Steven… Read More »Happy Anniversary Juncks!
On Monday the world wasn’t ready for these FOOD pictures. I’m not sure the world is ready for them yet, but I can’t hold them back any longer: Most of the FOOD pictures were taken at the concession stand at dear old Boone High School. I worked a shift there… Read More »Y’all Better Watch It, Take A Look at Where the Clock Is, It’s My Time!
There was a healthy participation rate this week for FOOD, but I have to confess that I thought it would be even more popular. After all, every single person that is reading these words ate FOOD last week. Perhaps were still in the Seasonal Photography Depression Window. But thanks to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 123 – FOOD
Pages 50-51 in the PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT are “A record of missed photo opportunities”. I think that the actual intention is to write down missed opportunities, but I translated it to mean times when the only camera I had on me was my phone. Sometimes that resulted in serviceable pictures… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Pages 50-51
The following pictures were all found in the folder 02-28-08: These pictures were all taken with a camera that Nader wanted me to test before he took it with him to London. By adding these photos to the Photo Gallery, I was able to restore the following blog post: TEST… Read More »02-28-08
This is a reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is FOOD: FOOD! I don’t think FOOD needs a definition or any examples. Everybody eats food. Now just take a picture of your FOOD and send it to me! Happy photo harvesting!
On Monday there was a sun dog as I drove home from the computer mine. I pulled over and snapped a couple of pictures: If you like astronomical anomalies, there is a lunar eclipse coming up in the near future!
Getting back to the backlog, here are some pictures on the way home from my trip to South Dakota with my Mom: The stops included DIGNITY OF EARTH & SKY, The Corn Palace, and the Hungry Dog for lunch. I reiterate my love of The Hungry Dog! I didn’t know… Read More »Dignity, Always Dignity
Every once in a while, a photographer gets to take important pictures. It is rare, but it does happen. I was given such an honor recently when Amber contacted me to take family pictures of her family before Christmas because her Grandpa was being put in hospice care. Here are… Read More »Amber’s Family
I admittedly phone it in a bit on HIGH PERSPECTIVE. I won’t trouble you with any bouts of arrogance. Here are a few alternates for HIGH PERSPECTIVE: All these pictures were taken at Citzen’s National Bank.
I usually start this blog post with a statement on how participation rates went this week, but this week I’m going to start the week differently. A recent subscriber and often contributor to the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE Tamara Peterson’s husband Glenn recently got a tough diagnosis and they have a… Read More »Weekly Photo Challenge – Week 122 – High Perspective
Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I think that is as apropos a time as any to share some pictures from my recent trip to the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis: I have a well known love of history, but at the same time, I’m not really a museum… Read More »Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord
The images in today’s post came from the folder 02-10-08/lwl. They are from a photo shoot for Shannon’s Little White Lye Soap company. These are how I would edit them today, if I still had the contract: A reminder that you can buy your own Little White Lye Soap at… Read More »02-10-08/LWL
A reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is HIGH PERSPECTIVE: HIGH PERSPECTIVE A HIGH PERSPECTIVE photo is one where you are looking down on the subject or a picture where you are higher up than normal. No examples this week. Happy photo harvesting!
A few months back I went to the Freedom Flight Sendoff and snapped a few pictures. Here are a few of them: I went to the Freedom Flight Sendoff to see Jesse’s Dad, but I was surprised when Derrick’s Dad got up and gave an impromptu speech about the sacrifice… Read More »Freedom Flight Sendoff
Dipping into the backlog again. These pictures were taken on June 4. The majority of these pictures were taken at McHose Park. The other two were taken in my Grandma’s backyard.
A few months back Jen sent me a text message out of the blue suggesting that I should try to recreate (update) old postcards. It seems like a perfect fit for me, since I might be the last person on the world who really loves postcards and even occasionally sends… Read More »The Postcard Recreation Project – Teddy Roosevelt
The world wasn’t ready for these alternates for last week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme RUINS. Not sure the world is ready yet, but I can’t hold them back any longer: Most of these pictures were taken down at the Kate Shelley Museum in Moingona. For those of you from Minnesota,… Read More »Just Let Me Do What I Do Best; You’re Better Off Playing Russian Roulette
