Septic Tank?
It has been awhile since I’ve been contracted for what I would consider to be commercial photography, but recently I was contracted by Jim Jordan to photograph a septic tank and a couple of items he wished sell. Unfortunately for Boone, Iowa State University, Boone County, First United Methodist Church,… Read More »Septic Tank?
365 Day Photo Challenge: 120-126
I’ve fallen behind in posts. This sometimes happens when I get sick or I spend too much time working on other people’s projects or my motivation runs dry based on those two factors. Day 120: Just for You (Thanks to Mike Vest for taking this picture.) Day 121: Hair Day… Read More »365 Day Photo Challenge: 120-126

A critic could point out that a collection this small could have easily been incorporated into the other 4 collections of pictures, but there is a reason why nobody builds statues of… Read More »Kentucky the Vth

Slice of Life Vol. 177
The last two pictures will make no sense. There will be something to explain them later, and they still probably won’t make any sense to you.
Kentucky the Fourth
Yes! Even more from my trip to Kentucky. Although for the record, all of these pictures were taken in Tennessee. Next week’s Wednesday should finish up the Kentucky vacation collection.
The Archives: Edition #144
Today’s images come from the following folder: Backup/My Scans/2006-02 (Feb): I actually considered editing these images so that they were more of a finished product, but that would run contrary to the spirit of this project. So I left them abandoned, as abandoned as the project for which they were… Read More »The Archives: Edition #144
