Once again, I created a folder named “Pop Art” and put next to nothing in it that could be remotely defined as Pop Art.
Next week’s folder will be:

State Fair and more Mamie Eisenhower Birthplace photos.
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 (Taxi Driver) is when Robert DeNiro takes his date to the porn theater because he doesn’t know any better.
The chick that ran this place was awesome & I think we were her favorite guests of the day.
There aren’t enough buildings in Iowa that are marked where a ship ran into them.
Tebow!
Anybody who knows the exact reason why we stopped to take this picture is one of my favorite people in the world.
I am already looking forward to our next road trip. Maybe a couple more people will join us. If interested, forward your Road Tripping Resume to me. We will be looking for people with a sense of adventure and a large bladder. The bladder size is negotiable.
Some pictures of Bob Hope’s trip to Boone for the opening of the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Birthplace.
I was a ringbearer in my aunt Lori and uncle Roger’s wedding. Hence the sweet brown tux.
Some randomness in this collection.
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 a sign that is no longer cared for. Either the business that put it up is no longer around, or they no longer care for the sign. The sign has descended into a state of disrepair, and nobody is doing anything about it. Personally, I hope these sign continue to be neglected. I for one love abandoned signs.
All of these abandoned signs can be found in Boone, with the exception of one sign. The one sign can be found if you are driving east on US 30 between Boone and Ogden. It is a sign that has always intrigued me because of the crudeness of its composition and because of its location. It is a sign that has a very strong political message, but you have to be actually looking for the sign because it isn’t placed in a place of prominence. It is more buried in a ravine in the bottom of a ditch.
Here are the rest of the abandoned signs.
I determined during this project that I don’t love the retro setting on my camera, even though I do love a few of these images. I took these pictures on a rainy, drizzly day. Don’t be surprised if I revisit many of these subject in the future with the High Contrast Black & White setting on the new camera.
If you have an abandoned sign that you love that you think I might love as well, feel free to drop me an email with the location and a brief description of the sign.
Images from Pufferbilly Days and the Boone First United Methodist Church highlight this collection.

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.
