There are several folders inside the folder called 2009-02-18, so rather than having one of those fifty photo journal entries, I’ve decided to break them down by the subfolder. This subfolder is called ARIZONA_DAY_2. The pictures in this folder are from when I went to Arizona with Jesse on a… Read More »2009-02-18 – Arizona Day 2
The photos in the folder 2009-02-15 are from a trip I took to Arizona with Jesse. 50% of the trip was for pleasure. 50% of the trip was for the Computer Mine. These pictures are from Day 1 of the trip. Most of that day was spent in the air… Read More »2009-02-15
6 days ago another college basketball season sadly came to an end. While it was one of the most exciting tournaments in history, it was bittersweet as the Cyclones were eliminated in the 1st Round. Now anybody that watched Iowa State’s mercurial season knew that there was a good chance… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 15 Final Results
Immediately after the beautiful beard go its final photo shoot Jay and I trudged from the Photography 139 Basement Studio to the kitchen where the unpleasantness was set to be done. “O Fortuna” from Carmina Burana playing through my head. I still had time to back down. It was now… Read More »Shaving Says A Lot About A Man, Like, “I’m Not One”
Yellow. Yellow is the most recent filter from the super cheap filter set that I cracked out and tested. I still took mostly pictures of Naima, but I actually left my yard and went out to Dickcissel. This, was perhaps, not the best plan. With all the space to roam,… Read More »It Stands for the Sun
The pictures from the folder 11-15-08 are from the final home game in Iowa State’s Gene Chizik era. I can still remember the afternoon I head that Chizik was leaving for Auburn. I was driving around with Jason looking at potential houses when the rumors came across the radio. We… Read More »11-15-08
It is time once again for the greatest sporting event of year. It is that time known as March Madness. The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Once again, I will be sponsoring a pool. There is not cost to enter the pool, except for pride. The winner gets a trophy. The… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 15
The images from the folder 11-1-08 are all over the place. They include pictures of Jesse and I exploring the disc golf course in McHose Park to pictures of Shannon before she made a donation to Locks of Love to pictures of my Hoosier before it got fixed up to… Read More »11-01-08
After doing our “horns down” gesture, we loaded back into the car and headed north. Hoping to get deep into the heart of Oklahoma before bedding down for the night. Leaving Austin we made a stop at Buc-ee’s. If you ever make it to Texas, I can’t strongly recommend stopping… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Triplets
We gave her a hug. Loaded back up in the rental and left Waco profoundly changed in a way that is hard to figure. My best guess is that it would be the way you would change if you saw the Vietnam War Memorial with a veteran of the Vietnam… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Alamo Bowl
The pictures in the folder 10-19-08 are from the Iowa State-Nebraska football game in 2008. One of the head coaches in the game would go on to win a national championship. The other coach… looks like he got exiled to someplace called Youngstown, Ohio. Looking through these pictures, it does… Read More »10-19-08
You might think this post really belongs on Saturday as it is a bit of a walk down memory lane, but these images were never really posted to “An Artist’s Notebook” until today. I came across this collection of photos when I was looking for different photos as I’m trying… Read More »Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2006
We loaded up the car and I punched the address of the Branch Davidians Compound into the GPS. I had absolutely no clue what we would find what we would find when we got to the place where 76 people died in the Waco Siege. You see, we had stayed… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Branch Davidians
I slept like a baby. Like an angel. Like a baby angel. I woke up in the morning ready to take on the world. After I got out of the shower I decided to walk the Motel 6 grounds to check out the lay of the land. I carried the… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Magnolia
I have a personal quest to meet, photograph, or see in person the politician that will take office as the next President of the United States in 2021. In my quest I will try to see every (major-ish) candidate seeking the nomination of the Democratic Party. This quest could take… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Kirsten Gillibrand
After paying our respects to “The Tall Chief”, we hit the open road. We headed south in Oklahoma and weren’t really sure what we would find. Several miles down the road we saw a sign for Muskogee. While I am personally devoid of musical talent, I do love music. I… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: USS Batfish
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
Last week Jesse and I hopped in a rental car and headed to San Antonio to watch the Iowa State Cyclones play against the Washington State Cougars and the worst refereeing crew from the Big Ten in the Alamo Bowl. While the game didn’t turn out the way that we… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip – Phonetos
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
I have to confess that this is one of the saddest blog posts I’ve ever had the solemn duty to post. It seems that next to nobody out there has any FRIENDS. At least not any FRIENDS that they would be willing photography. Or perhaps the fault lies in me… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 172 – FRIENDS
Before we dig into the meat of this blog, I should point out that I’m (hopefully) in San Antonio right now. Getting ready to root for the Cyclones against the Washington State Cougars in the Alamo Bowl. You should definitely sit down and root the Cyclones to victory. The game… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 13
