Mother’s Day – 2017
Hitting the backlog for pictures from the Bennett Family Mother’s Day Barbecue: I hope when you celebrated Mother’s Day 6 months ago, it was as awesome as our Mother’s Day celebration!
Relationship Goals
I hope all of you had a marvelous Thanksgiving weekend! I had a particularly great Thanksgiving weekend myself. On Thursday morning I got up and went down to the church (Boone First United Methodist represent!) to take photos of our annual Thanksgiving. This is the second year in a row… Read More »Relationship Goals
Won’t Take that Credit; I know Where We Get It; Them Blessings Be Comin’ from God Above
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
11-23-07
The pictures in the folder called 11-23-07 are experimental photography heavy. This deleted scene from THE EXORCIST really hits you hard. The experimental pictures are images projected onto objects and then photographed again. The ones that are like “hey buddy, you’ve had enough LSD for tonight are being projected into… Read More »11-23-07

After Colorado Grill. Started watching a new show, NARCOS. SATURDAY Breakfast at Legal… Read More »Remembered with Nostalgia
10-31-2017
The pictures in the folder 10-31-07 display both a terrifying display of brute strength and a terrifying display of Halloween costumes. By dusting off these pictures and adding them to the current Smugmug Photo Gallery, I was able to restore the following blog posts: COSTUMES HP LASERJET 4100 I have… Read More »10-31-2017

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 87 – GLITTERY
It was a pretty solid week of submission for GLITTERY. Can’t complain. Wouldn’t even if I knew how. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions for GLITTERY: Carla Stensland Dawn Krause Linda Bennett Sarah Karber Shannon… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 87 – GLITTERY
March
Now would be a good time to check in on the Selfie Project. I’ve attempted and failed at this project 3 times now. The farthest I’ve ever made it is 116 days. I feel like this just might be the year. Here are some of my favorites from March: March… Read More »March
The Bennetts of 2017
Before Alexis took off for the Navy, Elainie came home. We used this as an opportunity for an impromptu family photo. Thanks to Ernie for taking the photo! More from this photo shoot coming at some point.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 78 – SILHOUETTE
Looks like the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE went on Spring Break. Perhaps SILHOUETTE is too challenging of a theme. I’m not sure, but participation numbers this week are as low as they’ve ever been. Worries me that the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE might be on the way out. I guess we’ll see… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 78 – SILHOUETTE
Stensland Family Backlog Cleanout
I took some photos of the Stenslands back in May. Probably should show you some of them at this point. Here are some of my favorites. Not sure when this group of people will be together again. Alexis leaves for the Navy in the next few weeks. Elainie still has… Read More »Stensland Family Backlog Cleanout
Selfie Project of 2017
So I tried and failed at a Selfie Project in 2016. I’m trying again in 2017. Last year I took the pictures with Blue Boy. Who you may remember is my Canon point & shoot. This year I’m going to take the pictures with the front facing camera on my… Read More »Selfie Project of 2017
06-05-07
Mostly pictures of my niece playing softball in I think, maybe Gilbert. Next week’s walk down memory lane seems to be flower oriented.
05-19-07
There are a ton of pictures in good old 05-19-07. Probably should’ve broken this up into different posts, but that is quitter talk! Next Saturday’s post will be much shorter, I’m sure.
05-08-07
Gymnastics! Swans! Squirrels! Oh my! Also lots of digital noise in the 05-08-07 folder: More Iowa State animals in next Saturday’s folder. Get pumped!
4 Generations
When Elainie was back for Alexis’ graduation, Carla got Mom and Grandma together for a 4 generations picture. A Majors. A Paris. A Bennett. 2 Stenslands. With Alexis leaving for the Navy in less than a month and Elainie already in the Navy, organizing pictures like this in the future… Read More »4 Generations
04-14-07
The collection of images in the folder 04-14-07 includes one of Alexis’ many hamsters, The Chiz’s first Iowa State Spring Game, and lots of squirrel! Next week’s collection will include June and Dean Miller and maybe a tulip.
Elainie, Josh, Lucy
Recently Elainie came home for Alexis’ graduation. She brought with her Josh and their pooch Lucy. We got the pleasure of Elainie being home for a week, but Josh had to leave after a day for he was deployed to Gitmo. It will be a long 9 months for Elainie.… Read More »Elainie, Josh, Lucy
Get In and Fight for Fame Boone Toreadors!
I got to see good family friend Lisa Person at Alexis’ Graduation Party on Sunday. A couple days later she dropped off some old senior picture proofs at my Mom’s house. Thought I’d scan and share. I know it is the trendy thing to look at your old high school… Read More »Get In and Fight for Fame Boone Toreadors!
The Birthday Party of Fate (Roundup)
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)
