Youth Retreat
I recently had the opportunity to help chaperon a retreat for my church’s youth group. Here are some cruddy cell phone pictures and a few real camera pictures of the events:
Personal Photo Project #165
Loveliness Arises These images come from a youth retreat I helped chaperon. Many people painted tiles that were taken back to the church to be made into a cross. The rest of the Loveliness Arises Series: I do love abandoned art supplies and paint mixed together. I may have to… Read More »Personal Photo Project #165

Personal Photo Project of the Week #153
Warhole – Series #1 I’ve been making changes to my personal computer system and that has caused me to lag behind a bit… It has been a longstanding dream of mine (going back at least 10 years) to decorate my kitchen with pictures of products that might be used or… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #153
365 Day Photo Project: 120-126
Kind of a dreary, depressing, hard time of the year for photographers. I can go a good portion of the week without really seeing the sun right now, and I hate it. Day 120 – Water Day 121 – Old Day 122 – Vehicle Day 123 – Big Day 124… Read More »365 Day Photo Project: 120-126
Bowl Eligible
I was going to publish pictures that were related to Story County Philanthropy Day, but I think a more time relevant set of pictures would be a few images from Jesse and I’s trip to Lawrence, Kansas to watch the Cyclones shellac the Jayhawks. It should be noted that all… Read More »Bowl Eligible
Instagram Update
Since most of the random pictures I’ve taken are of the “can’t-quite-publish-yet” variety, I thought I would publish some of my favorite Instagram pictures of the last few months. Since I got a new phone and have been able to get back on Instagram. Of course, if you follow me… Read More »Instagram Update

Twins vs. Cubs vs. Hamm’s Tall Boys
Several weeks ago I went up to Minnesota with Tim, Barb, Marcia, and Donnie to visit Nate, Bethany, Becca, and DaeHee. The focus of the trip was an interleague baseball matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins. The Cubs won 8-2. Here are some pictures from the trip: Boonedocks… Read More »Twins vs. Cubs vs. Hamm’s Tall Boys
Personal Photo Project of the Week #124
The New Old (Redux) A few months ago I took some pictures of abandoned signs with the retro setting on my camera. I decided then to revisit this idea with the High Contrast Monochrome setting on my camera. As it turns out, I’m still not totally in love with the… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #124
Personal Photo Project of the Week #123 Beta
I hung out with more creatures than just Lancelot and Elaine on my loop. Here is a look at the rest of the Tennyson Series: This insane graffiti that looks just like Bill was on the side of a generator near the lake. It still blows my mind! Would you… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #123 Beta
United Way Wall
A few weeks back I posted about a collection of photos of mine that grace the wall of the United Way of Story County’s lobby wall. I finally got a chance to get down there to see the wall in its glory on Saturday before Shannon and I went to… Read More »United Way Wall

Shannon contacted me about contributing some photos to the wall near her desk at the United Way of Story County office a couple months back. I was able to get those pictures ordered for her and she got them on the wall a couple weeks back. I don’t have a… Read More »United Way Wall
Personal Photo Project #98
I did get a chance to send at a few Merry Christmas Picture Messages last year, even though they were a little less ambitious than years past. Here is the picture I sent out: Merry Christmas 2011! I’m sure I’ll have to make up for weak attempt last year with… Read More »Personal Photo Project #98
Personal Photo Project of the Week #97
Dissimilitude This project was to take some pictures with the High Contrast Monochrome setting on the Alpha 35. I probably don’t play with this setting enough.

Iowa Gothic
Jesse and I went on a road trip a ways back. Here are some images from that trip, provided with the occasional commentary. I love the fact that “Loafing” was prohibited. I had to have this picture taken as 1 of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies… Read More »Iowa Gothic

Personal Photo Project of the Week #94
Creatively Maladjusted This photo project was to play with the low light handheld setting on the new camera. The new camera will take several pictures in a second and then combine all the pictures into one picture. It lessens the need for a tripod in low light situations because if… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #94

These following submissions came to me well after the Monday at noon deadline for the Random Weekly Photo Experiment. However, since they came via the United States Post Office, I won’t hold it against 1st time contributor Russell Kennerly.
