I’m going to do this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE losers a little bit differently. I actually went out 3 or 4 times to take NATURE photos. I’m going to break them down into those trips.

On Sunday, I redid Page 24 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. While I already did this page with Shannon, I decided to redo it because of the lighting conditions for that photo shoot weren’t ideal and it made those pictures very noisy. This time I used Naima as the model… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 24
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!

Back at the beginning of 2016, I had this dream of taking a selfie every day to document that growth of one awesome beard. Well. I made it a few days into April. As I’m going to rekindle this project for 2017, thought I’d look back at my favorite photos… Read More »The Failed Selfie Project of 2016
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!
A few weeks back I took Nader down to Des Moines for his birthday. We bummed around the downtown area and then met Jeff, Yin, and a couple of Baiers for lunch at Mad Meatball. Here are a few pictures from the bumming around phase of the day: We also… Read More »Nader Day
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.

Normally I’m not a fan of ornamental grasses, but maybe I should change my tune. Of course, it is hard to change your tune when you can barely carry one.

Before I start rambling about this picture, I should point out that AM Outdoors expert and friend of this here blog Michael Augustin corrected my assertion that yesterday’s blog featured a ground squirrel. When in fact, it was a chipmunk. A pox upon me, my good fellows. Today’s post features… Read More »A Punchable Flower
I haven’t posted a picture of an animal (besides Naima) for a bit. No worries though. This animal posting will not make any references to the current inane social media debate.

I told you that BLACK AND WHITE photography was my passion. So… Buckle up buttercup, this is going to be a long one… Sometimes I forget that smack in the middle of Ames is the most beautiful campus in the world. I should really visit it more often. GO STATE!!!
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.
