It is once again time for the Roundball Oracles NCAA Tournament Pool. I want to start by saying that Paul and Shannon, your trophies for last years accomplishment and “accomplishment” are on order. They will be in your possession by the end of next week. Here is the proof that… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 14
The world wasn’t ready for these STILL LIFE pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready now. But I can’t hold them back any longer: You’re welcome world!
A few months back Jen sent me a text message out of the blue suggesting that I should try to recreate (update) old postcards. It seems like a perfect fit for me, since I might be the last person on the world who really loves postcards and even occasionally sends… Read More »The Postcard Recreation Project – Teddy Roosevelt
I have a considerable backlog of images that I need to edit. Part of the problem is that I edit photos in 2 separate distinct locations and it is often difficult for me to figure out what I have edited in one location, but not the other. I have begun… Read More »Dog Face
Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Rather than my standard picture of an inflatable turkey, thought (with apologies to Lecrae, I’d give thanks for some of the many blessings in my life. Count it up, count it up, count it up. Line ’em up, line ’em up, line ’em up. Blessed with a… Read More »Won’t Take that Credit; I know Where We Get It; Them Blessings Be Comin’ from God Above
Since a few people have been asking, I am making a formal announcement. THERE IS NO CHRISTOPHER D. BENNETT BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA AKA BENNETT-FEST THIS YEAR! The reasons are multiple and complicated, but it is probably your fault. If you search your heart, you know it to be true. So there… Read More »Valley Lodge is Closed
If we pretend that I posted this on the day that I’m pretended I posted this picture on, this sign from the Women’s March would be apropos. There will probably be a big dump of the rest of these photos coming soon. In 2 weeks, I predict. PARTICULARS CAMERA: Sony… Read More »A Basic Human Right
I figure that there is no better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than with another photo from the Women’s March in Des Moines back in January. I love this picture even though the STAR WARS franchise is just one below average to middling movie after another. If you don’t… Read More »Happy International Women’s Day!
I believe all the flowers in the folder 07-05-07 belonged to Jen and Derrick. Next week’s folder will involve a sword.
Here is another one of my favorite images from the Women’s March back in January. I’ll probably bust through all those images in a couple weeks when I have some time taken off from work. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL LENGTH: 20mm APERTURE: f/7.1 EXPOSURE: 1/200 DATE: 01-21-2017… Read More »Both
Last Saturday it was my great pleasure to attend the Women’s March in Des Moines with Jen, Sara, Shawn, Evie, Layla, Gretchen and 27,000 other people. I believe this to my favorite picture from the day. But I’m only getting the editing process going. I don’t get very political on… Read More »You Might as Well Question Why We Breathe
These are the images that didn’t make this week’s cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – HAPPY: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
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 think some of these pictures were taken at Becca’s Graduation Dinner. Not really sure any more. But we’ll go with that. The rest were probably taken at Brookside Park. Here are the pictures of 05-21-07: Seems like the majority of next week’s folder took place in McHose Park.
I recently presented The Trophy for winning the 12th year of the Roundball Oracles to this year’s champion… Michelle Haupt It was an exciting NCAA Tournament and an equally exciting Roundball Oracles NCAA Tournament Pool. If North Carolina would’ve won the NCAA Championship Game, Sara Lockner would’ve come home with… Read More »ROUNDBALL ORACLES – YEAR 12
I’ve thanked all these people in person, but I’d like to publicly thank everybody that helped out in some either small or big way with my birthday party on Saturday. Big shout out to Scott for making tons of delicious mouth watering chicken and jalapeno cream corn. I only wish… Read More »The Birthday Party of Fate (Roundup)
You can look at this collection of losers for RED from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE in a couple of different ways. Either I just wanted an excuse more pictures of my dog. OR Well that is interesting. You see, there is a setting on my camera that drops out all… Read More »With the Beefcake Pantyhose
Over 4 years ago, I felt it was time to retire The Friend Wall and replace it with something else. After reading a book from THE DAILY SHOW I came upon the idea to have 9 people pose while conveying 9 different emotions. Many times I’ve thought about bringing back… Read More »Use Them. Enjoy Them. Dominate Them.
Here are a few of the losers that didn’t make the cut for my submission to THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE! To think, I almost gifted that wig (that was a gift from Jen) to Willy. Still might.
The great national nightmare, or maybe it was just my nightmare, is finally, virtually over. The 2 day house painting party this weekend is over and my house is painted! Just a couple splashes of paint here and there, and hanging a few things up and it is over. So… Read More »Painting!
