Let me start by saying thanks to everybody that wished me a happy birthday on Monday via text or phone call or Instagram messenger or card in the mail or via haircut or Teams. I’m sure some people even wished me a happy birthday on Facebook. I guess I’ll find… Read More »Pandemic Birthday
This is it! The final collection of pictures from the 2010 Howard Family Photo Shoot! Included in this collection are some behind the scenes candid type photos, which you know are my favorite.

This collection of images that were triggered by Elainie’s homecoming back in September is a bit smaller. This is the balance of the pictures that were taken at Ledges. However, it isn’t the end of the pictures. Not quite yet! More Stenslands to come!
Time to check in with the Howard Family Photo Shoot of 2019 once again. We’re almost to the end of the photo shoot, but not quite. There will be one more, slightly smaller collection to come. This collection is very heavy with Jesse. He appears in every single image, which… Read More »The 2019 Howards – Subset Cinco
It is time for another stirring collection of images that were triggered by Elainie coming home last September. All of these images are of Elainie and Sabas and were taken in Ledges. Still lots of Stensland pictures to come!

This… Read More »An Artist’s Notebook Post #3751

The pictures in the folder 2009-11-14 are from the last home Iowa State football game from 2009. It was a victory over Colorado that made the Cyclones bowl eligible.

Time for yet another collection of images from the 2019 Howard Family Photo Shoot. With this collection I am now over half-done curating the photos from this collection.

Another collection of pictures that were triggered by Elainie coming home in September, but don’t include a single picture of Elainie. Here is the fourth collection from that set of photos. Exclusively of Alexis, Kupono, and a very young Kanoa. So many Stensland pictures left in the hopper. So many!!
This is the final collection of images from my annual photo shoot with Scottie D.’s progeny. It feels like it was a little shorter than normal because it was freezing out there. The actual temperature, plus a pretty stiff breeze. The longer we were out there, the colder it got.… Read More »A & P #3
