Savin’ All Your Food Stamps and Burnin’ Down the Trailer Park
I had a bunch of losers this week for ART and THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Here they are: Thanks for joining me here to mock this collection of pathetic losers!
Don’t Believe Everything that You Breathe

Baby’s in Reno with the Vitamin D
These are the SHAPES pictures that didn’t make the cut. All eerily similar to the one that did make the cut. Almost like they were all taken in the same place. Interesting Richard. Yes provocative. When I stopped to photograph all of these magnificent SHAPES, I got quite the history… Read More »Baby’s in Reno with the Vitamin D

SHAPES is definitely one of the harder compositions to think about conceptually. However, there were a few submissions this week. Here is a look at the submissions for SHAPES: Sarah Karber Angie DeWaard Christopher D. Bennett Kim Barker Bill Wentworth But enough living in the past. What is this week’s… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 29 – SHAPES
Sculpture Garden
These images are still from January 2007. The come from a folder called SCULPTURE GARDEN. They appear to be from a trip to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden with Bethany. Next week’s folder is called SNOW.

Here are some pictures I took with a cruddy camera phone of the weekend. Jentry being oh so scary. Docking Time! Shawn, enjoying the… Read More »Docking Station Alpha

Here are this week’s submissions for TREE: Bill Wentworth Kim Barker 1 Kim Barker 2 Sarah Karber Angie DeWaard 1 Angie… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 27 – TREE
And Put it in Neutral
Here is a collection of images I took for the WEEKLY CHALLENGE, that didn’t make the cut. JUNK, GRAFFITI, MUSIC, and LANDMARK are all included. I’ll try to be better next time.
Check Out this A Hole!
When you read the subject of this entry, you probably thought that this post was going to be about the Iowa Caucuses, but actually it is an image from my most recent trip to visit Nate and Laura. Behold! Laura tells me that it is quite the thing for people… Read More »Check Out this A Hole!

It is exciting times around the PHOTOGRAPHY 139 WORLDWIDE HEADQUARTERS. There is a first time submitter in Dustin Jackson this week. Dustin is a very talented photographer and I would encourage you to follow him on his Facebook page, if you haven’t. I would post a link, but then I’d… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 19 – GRAFFITI
2012
Looking at these images I think I might go back to my old school way of lining up images with their months in 2017. If I walk away from the all flower calendar. I guess we’ll see how that plays out. January February March April May June July August September… Read More »2012

Phonetos – Vol. 1
Although I haven’t touched the real camera lately, I have sorta documented some stuff with my cruddy camera on my phone. Thought I would post some of those from the last few months. Remember, these are taken with a cruddy camera phone. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve already… Read More »Phonetos – Vol. 1
Photo of the Day 0079
Found this guy at Antique Archaeology in LeClaire. If I were to hazard a guess, I would guess that we heard customers ask at least 10 times if Mike and Frank were there. At least 10 times.
Photo of the Day 0069
The inside of this awesome castle type thing that Nate and I found on Vine Street. We really should have went inside of it and explored it but Nate was worried about being stabbed by homeless man, but we will return here some day.
Photo of the Day 0068
Another look at giant shuttlecocks. Although I did enjoy some of the sculptures in Kansas City, the best sculpture garden I’ve ever seen is still in Des Moines. Go Cyclone State!
Photo of the Day 0067
I think Nate actually did like this sculpture. … and really, what isn’t to like?
Photo of the Day 0066
Sculpture from a Kansas City sculpture garden. This sculpture was one of my “must sees” when I went down to Lawrence to visit Nate. He was excited to stand outside in 97 degree heat looking at giant shuttlecocks.
San Antonio Road Trip Day 2
A couple of months back I went on a road trip with my Mom, Carla, and Alexis to witness Elainie’s most recent naval graduation. Here are a few pictures from Day 2 of that road trip: In case you were wondering, there were no pictures taken on Day of the… Read More »San Antonio Road Trip Day 2
