Kentucky the Fourth
Yes! Even more from my trip to Kentucky. Although for the record, all of these pictures were taken in Tennessee. Next week’s Wednesday should finish up the Kentucky vacation collection.
Personal Photo Project No. 185
Unsolved My Personal Photo Project this week was to photograph the most famous allegedly haunted house in Iowa. The Villisca Axe Murder House. I will state that I don’t believe in ghosts, but I am open to the possibility of their existence. In the same vein, I’m open to the… Read More »Personal Photo Project No. 185
Post No. 1718
Now that I am officially caught back up with my blogging, I’d like to do a little bit of general house cleaning and look at some completely meaningless statistics. First of all and most importantly, the Gallery/Store has experienced a complete redesign. It could still be classified as a work… Read More »Post No. 1718
Personal Photo Project No. 181
$80 The first scheduled stop on Shannon and I’s road trip itinerary was the grounds of a former 19th century cult that had a colony near Corning, called the French Icarians. They had some pretty crazy beliefs like: Fraternity. As a rule of conduct, three principles summarize all: Love your… Read More »Personal Photo Project No. 181

I’m wondering if one of these pictures is of the Hideaway and the Short Stop.
Personal Photo Project of the Week #133
The Living Legend This week’s Personal Photo Project was to photograph the No. 844 (The Living Legend) when it passed through Boone. I actually photographed it on3 separate occasions. I took a “salesman’s lunch” on the day it came in and stood on a bridge west of Boone with a… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #133
Old Family Photos
My aunt Delores recently had me scan and order some old family pictures for her for a frame she was putting up in their new house. Here are those pictures: She gave these to me so long ago, that I hope she hasn’t forgotten about them. Hopefully I’ll be able… Read More »Old Family Photos

The Archives: Edition Fifty-Four

Iowa Gothic
Jesse and I went on a road trip a ways back. Here are some images from that trip, provided with the occasional commentary. I love the fact that “Loafing” was prohibited. I had to have this picture taken as 1 of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies… Read More »Iowa Gothic

Personal Photo Project of the Week #92
The New Old For starters, I’m obviously just backfilling missing blog posts at this time. But I’m sure you’ll forgive me… all things considered… The idea for this week’s project was to photograph abandoned signs with the Retro setting on the new camera. An abandoned sign by my definition is… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #92

The Archives: Edition Thirty-Seven
These pictures came from backup/Old My Pictures/UnHingd These are a mixture of concert pictures from an Iowa State game, practice and recording their first demo. The phallic nature of the “I” was a constant source of debate. This is a Jay Janson Photoshop original. Next week’s folder will be: Backup/Old… Read More »The Archives: Edition Thirty-Seven
The Archives: Edition Thirty-Two
The following pictures are from: Backup/Old My Pictures/Real to Life/Special Effects The term “Special Effects” seems to be quite a bit of a stretch. There are only two “special effects” employed in this folder. The most obvious effects are created by filters. The sepia toned pictures were created by printing… Read More »The Archives: Edition Thirty-Two
The Archives: Edition Thirty-One
The pictures are from: Backup/Old My Pictures/Real to Life/Color Apparently at one time I thought these were some of the most important color pictures I had taken. In retrospect, I have no clue why. Next week’s folder will be: Old My Pictures/Real to Life/Special Effects
