Photographer. Tenderloin enthusiast. Road trip maker. Iowan. Cyclone.
I woke up this morning with a mighty powerful hankering for some Cyclone Crunch. Contributed Camera Phone Photo It is mighty tasty and I encourage you to go out and buy some today. It tastes mighty good after doing some crowbar work on a party bus. But I talk too… Read More »Doesn’t Turn Soggy in Milk
Before delving further into the Cyclone game, I need to post a website. WEBSITE DELETED You should check out this website if you live anywhere near Kansas (which according to Google Analytics none of you do, but I am strangely big in Gillette, Wyoming) and head to this sale.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to move my website to a different server. That is going to be a goal of mine in the next couple of weeks. Until then, I’m going to have to post all of the Kansas game pictures in the journal. I’m going… Read More »Stupid John Greenleaf Whittier
Happy Birthday to this guy: I don’t know where he got his questionable taste in athletic teams…
Last Sunday I had some unexpected free time when I got fired from a friend’s photo project.

I got some information from Monica yesterday that I think is vitally important that I pass along. If your curly locks are getting a little bit long and you are looking for a way to get both your hair chopped and donate money to a worthy cause, then I have… Read More »Susan G. Komen Fundraiser
Today is Sara’s birthday. Rather than post a bunch of pictures of Sara for Sara’s birthday, I’m going to take a slightly different tact. Yesterday I wrote about Sara auditioning to become a Photography 139 Photo Assistant. She got high marks for having a big purse. One of her few… Read More »Happy Birthday Sara!

About 3 Sundays ago while I was leaving the sanctuary, Andrea told me that she was thinking about me when she wrote her section for the October Bulletin. That made me a bit nervous. Was there some particular message that I in particular needed to hear? This Sunday the new… Read More »Done Waiting
There was an article about Willy and his running ways in the Boone News Republican on Friday. Because of the weird way that they printed the article, I couldn’t scan the whole thing in one scan. For reasons I can’t quite figure out, the Boone News Republican (maybe they are… Read More »St. Elmo’s Fire
My big plan for Saturday was to journey down to Des Moines to watch Jen compete in the Des Moines Regatta. I have never been to such an event, so it was going to be a new experience. I started my day by going to Ames to drop off a… Read More »My Saturday (Volume 1)
On Thursday night I returned to the movie theater for the first time since I can remember. It has been at least a month, maybe two. Nader and I went to see Burn After Reading. It was the first movie the Coen brothers have made since their Academy Award winner… Read More »Back in the Saddle
I thought I would celebrate my Mom’s birthday by posting some pictures of her from the 1970s. I think that might be our old milk truck in the background! With the best child. With the middle child. Out at McHose Park. Out at the old house on W. 15th Street.… Read More »Happy Birthday Mom!
Alexis had her first gymnastics meet on Sunday. She totally ripped it up. Just look at all the precious metal she brought back with her from that other side of the state. I don’t know how she can even stand up! This is how she did: 6th on Floor 3rd… Read More »First Meet
On Sunday I went down to Hy-Vee Hall to help man the Little White Lye Soap booth at The Women’s Life Expo.
On Saturday night we celebrated Doris’ 80th birthday with a birthday dinner. Not to be mistaken with a birthday party. It was a good time and it was the first time I had seen Janice and Mary Beth in quite some time. Janice gave me this cool sticker:

I made an appearance at the annual Majors Family Reunion on Saturday. I took a few pictures. I guess I did make it to a reunion this year.
Saturday morning I took Brandon’s Senior pictures. I’d like to share some of my favorite pictures from that photo shoot. It is good to take pictures of somebody that doesn’t mind when you need to stop to take some quality frog pictures.
Friday night was the big Jay home cooked meal extravaganza. Willy choose not to join his brothers for this meal. Even though a week earlier he begged me not to go to the Ames on the Half Shell Appreciation Party because he needed a home cooked meal. Although I was… Read More »Shafted
