First Crack

I took my first crack at some fall pictures during my lunch break today. I wasn’t 100% pleased with anything. However, I will go back out for my lunch break tomorrow with a guy holding an umbrella. That guy is Jesse. It is good to have him back at the… Read More »First Crack

“Sorry don’t get it done, Dude. That’s the second time you hit me. Don’t ever do it again.” -John T. Chance Rio Bravo (1959) The Iowa State-Texas game was over about 2 minutes into the sad, sordid affair. It was a rainy, gloomy day. The pictures from this debacle are… Read More »Texas Sized Beatdown

Whoops!

You know how newspapers can print absolutely anything despite the facts and then when somebody actually calls them on it they run a retraction buried on page 12F in the smallest font imaginable? Well I’m not a newspaper. I’m not anybody even pretending to be a news outlet. So I’ll… Read More »Whoops!

Renaissance

“Every renaissance comes to the world with a cry, the cry of the human spirit to be free.” -Anne Sullivan Macy Jesse has been sitting on his couch for the last eight weeks watching reruns of Hannah Montana and dreaming of a day when he could return to his office… Read More »Renaissance

Slake

I’ve always been the type of person that feels that anybody that is getting much over 6 hours of sleep is a big iris*. How much sleep does a person really need? Do you want to spend 1/3 of your life or more sleeping? 25% is all the sleep time… Read More »Slake

Johnny Consumer

I’d like to think that I had a better than average week this week. It started out poorly as the Padres lost to the Rockies in a play in game and despite the fact that the umpire blew the call that gave the Rockies the win, I accept the loss… Read More »Johnny Consumer

Clans

I wrote recently that the Herrick family was always intertwined with the destiny of the Bennetts. There is another family that also has always been side by side with the Bennetts. That clan is the Maddux clan. I don’t think that I had seen a single Maddux this year until… Read More »Clans

Homecoming

This past weekend was Homecoming in Boone. This ended up being quite the production for Johnathan, Elainie, and Brandon. Below are some pictures of them all dressed up and looking slick. As you can tell, Elainie was really into getting her picture taken. Brandon and Johnathan? Not so much.

Greg and Amanda

Saturday was a momentous occasion. It was first time in the history of my knowing Greg I saw him not wearing a hat. Oh yeah, he also married Amanda too. Here are a few pictures from the reception and a few random candle pictures thrown in at the end.

Thomas the Scam

Every year I feel myself compelled to go down to the B&SVRR when they are scamming small children and draining the coffers of their parents with Thomas the Tank. I admit that it really isn’t their doing. They put on a pretty good show. There is a magician and a… Read More »Thomas the Scam

Mystery Barn

I spent Saturday morning hanging out in an old barn on my Aunt Linda’s acreage. She had suggested it as a place to find interesting photo subjects. I scouted it out on Thursday night after work and came back on Saturday morning when there was better light so I could… Read More »Mystery Barn

Lunch Break

Yesterday I went to Central Campus to see Obama speak. I didn’t have a memory card with me, so I had to borrow a camera from a co-worker. It is a good camera, but it only has a 3X optical zoom, so a couple of these pictures are very heavily… Read More »Lunch Break
