Personal Photo Project of the Week #100
Still Laughing 2012
There are a lot fewer tulip pictures this year, both the obvious and the weather played a big part in that. In fact, due to the fact that almost all flowers are blooming a month early this year, I’m pretty sure I will miss out on most of the flowers I try to hit every year.
Oh well, c’est la vie!
Here are the rest of the Still Laughing – 2012 Series.
I didn’t get a chance to photography my grandma’s tulips this year. I also didn’t make my annual road trip to Pella this year. I’m sure both of those things will be on the docket in 2013.

A lot of old buildings in this collection.
I actually think the tree pictures are my favorites from this collection.
Better Late than Never
I never got a chance to do Elainie’s Senior Pictures, so when we did Bennett Family Pictures Day, I also took a few pictures of Elainie. Here are a few of those pictures:
Self-Portrait Project: Week 1
To replace RWPE on Mondays this year, I am going to attempt to take a self-portrait every day this year. I have no expectations that I will take 366 winners (or even 66 winners for that matter), but that isn’t necessarily the point.
Although you will be able to see how much weight I gain this year, how much hair I lose, how much more dashing I become, and how many times I shave (over/under is at 10 for you gamblers) that isn’t really the point either.
Although I’m sure a few of the important events of 2012 will be recorded, documenting my life for 1 year isn’t really the point either.
The is a photography exercise more than anything else. An exercise to get me to attempt to think creatively at least once every day. Hopefully there are some winners in there. Hopefully I don’t gain any weight and I know that I will become exponentially more dashing. Hopefully I will have more than 10 reasons to shave this year. Hopefully there are many good milestones in my life worth documenting. But, all of those will be ancillary benefits.
I will try to take all of these pictures without assistance. Meaning, I won’t hand the camera to somebody and say, “Take a picture of me doing X.” But I’m sure that will happen on occasion.
Here are the first 8 pictures from this project.

Pufferbilly Day photos highlight this collection.
The Kate Shelley Museum in Mongoina is why I know that if you are very lucky, you can stumble upon a rattlesnake in Boone County.
Bennett Family Pictures
This post is somewhat bittersweet as these pictures were taken before my Mom’s diagnosis and while she was still being treated by the incompetent doctor. However, I want to remain positive and since things are progressing positively, there is no reason to dwell on the negative.
When she saw these pictures she was surprised by how thin she was in them, so we will be retaking these pictures again in the Spring after she has been able to put some weight back on and before Johnathan leaves for the Air Force.
Probably sometime around the time of Onion Ring Night.
