This blog has hit a milestone. This is the 2500th post since I started “An Artist’s Notebook” on August 9, 2006. A lot of different things have went through these pages over the last 10+ years, but I hope I’ve stayed true to the original vision I laid down in… Read More »Post No. 2500

These pictures didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the GOVERNMENT theme for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Maybe these pictures aren’t so bad. Maybe if only the believed in themselves.
GOVERNMENT didn’t really ring a lot of people’s bells, which means it will definitely be back on the menu for the next set of themes. Why? I’m not a quitter. However, we are nearing the halfway point of the second set of themes since we rebooted the RANDOM WEEKLY PHOTO… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 76 – GOVERNMENT
Looks like I went to Iowa State & Woodward for photos for the album called 07-04-07. Next Saturday’s walk down Memory Lane will be flower heavy.
Here is your weekly reminder for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. This week’s theme is: GOVERNMENT! REMEMBER THE RULES! 1. The picture has to be taken the week of the theme. This isn’t a curate your pictures challenge. This is a get your butt off the couch (my personal experience) and… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – GOVERNMENT
I like this picture because it helps me pretend like I have that drone that I want to get: But alas, I’m only standing on a bridge and looking down.

Now is as good of a time as any to share another one of my favorite pictures from the Woman’s March down in Des Moines in January. I still haven’t had a chance to sit down and power through these pictures. Hoping I have time for that sometime soon. PARTICULARS… Read More »Red, White, and Blue and Pink

Here are the MUSIC photos that didn’t have what it takes to be included in this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers!
Most people seem to have adjusted to the new way of things. As participation rates didn’t spike, but they also didn’t fall… too far. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see this week’s submissions. Here are the submissions… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 75 – MUSIC
I promise, there won’t be so many MUSIC pictures that weren’t up to snuff. Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers!
These pictures were taken near my Mom’s alley. Next Saturday’s folder will involve a southern Boone County road trip I took back in 2007.
I had a request that there be multiple posts about the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme from somebody this week because they find it difficult to keep track of the weekly theme. I told this person that Photography 139 isn’t a nanny state and that to do such runs contrary to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – MUSIC
The remainder of the BLACK & WHITE photos that didn’t make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE from the BLACK & WHITE PHOTO ROAD TRIP. However, it isn’t the end of the rejects: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this collection of pathetic losers.
I read on Twitter once about a place claiming to be “the most photographed waterfall in Iowa”. Now I don’t know how they document that claim, especially when what they are referring to is actually a spillway, but I suppose water does fall over it. Either way, this “waterfall” was… Read More »Sprechen Sie Deutche, Baby – Beta
I went on a rather extensive BLACK & WHITE road trip on Saturday. Here is the first collection of pictures that didn’t make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Taken in north Boone County. Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers!

A great week of participation, which has me all amped up, since BLACK & WHITE is my favorite theme. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates.
