The following are pictures that were in the folder 01-28-08: All these pictures were taken at the first Ames Jaycees activity I ever participated in. It was called Super Shooters, which was some kind of basketball skills competition. Like 4 kids showed up for it. If you are a person… Read More »01-28-08
This huge collection of photos was found in the folder called 01-01-08: I don’t know if it the holidays or recently seeing some old friends, or a recent death to a close relation of a very close friend or if it is just because it is that time of year,… Read More »01-08-08
The pictures in the folder 10-31-07 display both a terrifying display of brute strength and a terrifying display of Halloween costumes. By dusting off these pictures and adding them to the current Smugmug Photo Gallery, I was able to restore the following blog posts: COSTUMES HP LASERJET 4100 I have… Read More »10-31-2017
This is your reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is ORANGE: ORANGE Good luck photo murdering, I mean photo hunting, I mean photo harvesting. Good luck photo harvesting!
This blog has hit a milestone. This is the 2500th post since I started “An Artist’s Notebook” on August 9, 2006. A lot of different things have went through these pages over the last 10+ years, but I hope I’ve stayed true to the original vision I laid down in… Read More »Post No. 2500
Pretend like I published this on January 1, just like I meant to do. It is that day at Photography 139 Headquarters where we take down our old Photography 139 Calendar and put it in the trunk with many of the other remnants of our past. We like to think… Read More »To a Great 2017!
I put up some pictures that were very, very clearly fake clown pictures to make fun of how stupid the clown sighting hoax is and how gullible people are who believe in such stupid things. It was a parody! A parody of the people who take such things seriously! It… Read More »A Parody Clown Sighting
Because of a technical glitch at Photography 139 Worldwide Headquarters, the post of this week’s submissions won’t occur until this evening. However, you can start working on this week’s theme… SILHOUETTE.
Considering that this week’s theme was the most accessible, I feel like the amount of submissions isn’t too shabby. Let’s have a look at the submissions for TEXTURE: Angie DeWaard 1 Kim Barker Michelle Haupt Angie DeWaard 2 Christopher D. Bennett But what is this week’s theme? Scroll down: STORE!… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 17 – TEXTURE
So the walk down memory lane now concludes. With a look at the images that were in the calendar that early this morning will be taken down from kitchen walls (most common place I’ve seen the calendar hung up), office walls, cubicle walls, and placed gently in the trash with… Read More »2015
So earlier in the month I alluded to the fact that I have been updating the look and feel of the website. I thought I would explain what has happened, without making you go blind with looking at things like this: Perhaps the most obvious difference is that the website… Read More »Website Update
A picture I’ve been meaning to post for some time. I just thought I should make a formal announcement that I am going to take a sabbatical from blogging formally. This sabbatical really already began, and I anticipate it lasting until at least May, but maybe longer. This isn’t to… Read More »Sabbatical
Now that I am officially caught back up with my blogging, I’d like to do a little bit of general house cleaning and look at some completely meaningless statistics. First of all and most importantly, the Gallery/Store has experienced a complete redesign. It could still be classified as a work… Read More »Post No. 1718
I have tried and failed twice at a 365 Day Photo Project. Seeing how this marks the halfway point of the year (from a month standpoint), why not try to not fail a third time. Therefore, I’m unveiling my third attempt at a 365 Day Photo Project. To make things… Read More »The Failure Begins Again
Pixlr Express is the best photo editing phone app I’ve come across to date. It has way more functionality than I could ever show examples for, so I’ll just show some screen captures to show how much functionality it has: As you can see, in the adjustment submenu there are… Read More »Pixlr Express
By far and away, the most popular photo sharing phone app is Instagram. The popularity is almost staggering. 100 million monthly ACTIVE users. 40 million photos per day. 8500 “Likes” per second. 1000 comments per second. It isn’t any wonder why Facebook bought Instagram for 1 billion dollars last year.… Read More »Instagram: Pros/Cons
Flickr used to be one of the most popular imaging websites, but then it began to falter a little bit. It hoped to make a bit of a resurgence when there was the big to-do (which was really much to do about nothing) about Instagram changing their privacy policies to… Read More »Flickr
Now that I’m returning to photography, (thanks 4 people that noticed!) I wanted to take a little bit of time and look at a few of the phone apps that are out there for Android phones. Instagram made filters extremely popular in the social media realm and caused even larger… Read More »Twitter Filters

I’ve decided not to replace my el cheapo point and shoot at this time, so this marks the unofficial official end of the Self-Portrait Project. It just seems that such coin could be better used in another avenue (like a new bike) and I’ve allowed myself to believe that when… Read More »A Change of Direction
Now that I am caught back up, I’d like to step back and take stock of where this journal has went since its inception on August 9, 2006. Since the last time I looked at these statistics, I have completed changed galleries. I can no longer show you what are… Read More »Blog No. 1447
