Algona is an Anagram for Analog
Still hammering away at that back log. Here are a few pictures from my trip to Algona with Joe. We went to Algona so Joe could pick up a van to server as a distribution center for his cannabis oil business. The trip didn’t work out. We didn’t come home… Read More »Algona is an Anagram for Analog
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 123 – FOOD
There was a healthy participation rate this week for FOOD, but I have to confess that I thought it would be even more popular.

But thanks to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 123 – FOOD

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord
Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I think that is as apropos a time as any to share some pictures from my recent trip to the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis: I have a well known love of history, but at the same time, I’m not really a museum… Read More »Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord
Daisy, Daisy
Dipping into the backlog again. These pictures were taken on June 4. The majority of these pictures were taken at McHose Park. The other two were taken in my Grandma’s backyard.
The Postcard Recreation Project – Teddy Roosevelt
A few months back Jen sent me a text message out of the blue suggesting that I should try to recreate (update) old postcards. It seems like a perfect fit for me, since I might be the last person on the world who really loves postcards and even occasionally sends… Read More »The Postcard Recreation Project – Teddy Roosevelt

The world wasn’t ready for these LOW PERSPECTIVE pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready for them now. But I can’t hold them back any longer: Most of these pictures were taken in Memphis.

The following images came from the folder 01-31-08: The main takeaway from this collection of photos to me is that I hope I still have a full resolution photo of the Rambo Platoon somewhere. RAMBO is a horrible movie, but that was a great night! The quarter picture was from… Read More »01-31-08
I Ain’t No Hogback Girl!
As me and my friendly neighborhood robocopy scripts make it through the back log, I’ve come across some images from the day I went down to Winterset after some young hooligans burned down one of the famous (or infamous depending on how you feel about “literature”) covered bridges of Madison… Read More »I Ain’t No Hogback Girl!

Dog Face
I have a considerable backlog of images that I need to edit. Part of the problem is that I edit photos in 2 separate distinct locations and it is often difficult for me to figure out what I have edited in one location, but not the other. I have begun… Read More »Dog Face
My Minnesota Spirit Animal
Back in August I went up to Minnesota to visit some of my favorite peeps, but I also had an ulterior motive. For years I’ve driven up to the Twin Cities area and just south of Lakeville I would come across a strange collection of sculptures on the east side… Read More »My Minnesota Spirit Animal

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – ART
Here is your weekly reminder that this week’s theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is ART: ART ART! Such a great theme! But what is ART?
