It is hard to believe, but I haven’t published a tenderloining blog since August 26, 2018 when I recapped Michelle and I’s trip to The Filling Station in Ames. I actually made a few tenderloining trips and I just never got around to telling the world what I experienced. I… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Don Williams Field Work
Happy Thanksgiving! Every year on Thanksgiving I like to think about my many, many blessings. I know, real original. You should feel free to try it sometime. But make sure you let everybody know that I invented gratitude. I am thankful for my family, no matter how family is defined:… Read More »Gratitudo
Welcome to the 3,500th entry in “An Artist’s Notebook”. The blog portion of my Photography 139 website. It has been along time since I first took keyboard hand sitting in the old Computer Mine setup or possibly in my Mom’s basement, because that is where my life was at that… Read More »An Artist’s Notebook Post #3,500
Seems like as good of a time as any to check in with the Selfie Project. My September was incredibly busy. I had several photo shoots, youth group was back in session, Pufferbilly Days, Iowa State football season is ramping up, and Elainie was back in town. But I confess… Read More »Selfie Project – September
Now seems like a good time to check-in with my favorite pictures from my August SELFIE PROJECT pictures. It would seem that I had a successful month of August. I met Vice-President Joe Biden.

A couple Tuesdays back, Baby Got Rack took its award winning Meat Loaf Cupcakes to the Iowa State Fair to compete against the best the Cyclone State has to offer. I believe there were 8 other combatants in the category of Combo/Specialty and 44 combatants altogether. Here is a collection… Read More »Baby Take State Fair
Usually I don’t like to get this late into a month before I publish my favorite photos from the previous months SELFIE PROJECT, but I guess I’ve been busy and I’ve really been trying to be diligent with hitting up that 2018 backlog. I don’t know that I did anything… Read More »Selfie Project – July
Last Saturday was the annual Boone County Fair barbecue contest. Baby Got Rack decided to take a different tact this time. Rather than entering the pizza, we decided to enter something new. Meatloaf Cupcakes. This was a big risk just based on the fact that the pizza was a surefire… Read More »Baby Got Rack Takes the Boone County Fair
I thought for sure that this week would not be a double digit week, but it was! The 4th straight week! That makes me happy that so many of you found your ANGER, which I consider to be one of the hardest them of this set of 52. A note,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 201 – ANGER

A few weeks back Rodan139 took a tremendous tumble from the sky. According to the flight log, Rodan139 fell out of the sky from 190 feet. It was going 40.3 MPH when it hit sweet, round, Mother Earth. Rodan139 was a hurting unit when I got to it. A couple… Read More »Lazarus Come Out!
Jesse and I left for the Alamo Bowl at about 7 AM on Thursday, December 27. Our first stop was at a Casey’s in Peculiar, Missouri. It was noteworthy mostly because gas there was $1.75 a gallon. A good 20 cents cheaper than in the Cyclone State: Our second stop… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: The Tall Chief
Happy New Year to people who celebrate such things. I like to look at some meaningless statistics every 250 posts and I also look at fairly meaningless year end statistics. Just so happens that I get to combine them today!! Here is both a year in review and a celebration… Read More »Post #3252 – 2018 Year in Review

A few weeks back I published some photos from the 2016 annual Degeneffe boys photo shoot. Today I start publishing pictures from the 2017 photo shoot. Pretty much all the pictures from these photo shoots are candids. Since these pictures of Scottie D.’s progeny, it would be a good time… Read More »Them Degeneffe Boys 2017 – Alpha
Due to Scottie D. and I have often contrasting busy schedules, I’ve decided to branch out and have special guests join me on Tenderloin Appreciation Society Field Work from time to time, so that I can get more tenderloin reviews out there in the world. I know that I am… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Ames Field Work

One of the things that stunk about the end of 2017 was the closing of The Legal Limit. Despite having an absolutely terrible name, The Legal Limit had great food. I ate breakfast there with my Mom about every Saturday. Sometimes I would go up there on Thursday nights for… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Boone Field Work
There is a bit of variety in the folders 06-22-08 & 06-23-08. There are pictures of Elainie playing softball. There are pictures of an Ames on the Half Shell concert. Vivace I believe. There are pictures of Scottie D. and I tenderloining. Have a look: By adding these pictures to… Read More »06-22-08 & 06-23-08
