I’m going to skip a food adventure today, even though I know you are all dying to know if I spent my entire per diem in America’s arm pit Orlando, Florida. But that will probably wait until next week. Or a couple of weeks. I’m still trying to pretend I… Read More »Mother’s Day
Happy Easter! Christ is risen! Happy Easter! When this publishes Easter will be almost over, so I hope it has been a wonderful day for you and yours. On these high holy days I do like to publish a devotional. I don’t write them, but maybe some day I will.… Read More »Happy Easter (2026)
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve kind of suspended wishing people happy birthday from this site for the time being at least. Except one exception. If that birthday is included in the physical copy of the Photography 139 calendar. There are a bunch of birthdays in the digital calendar. But only… Read More »Selfie Project – February 2026
It is the third day of February. Seems like a good time to share the THE SELFIE PROJECT images from January. My travel was pretty minimal in January. I didn’t leave the state. But at least I made it as far away from my front doorstep as Grinnell. Also made… Read More »Selfie Project – January 2026
Time to clean up some backlog. This is a collection of images that I like to one degree or another, but never really fit into previous post. All of these pictures were taken in October. Have a looksie: It always feels good to clean out a little bit of the… Read More »You’re So Effing Special
Last year I made it down to Boone’s annual lighted parade. Boone doesn’t have a huge lighted parade but it is decent enough. Here are some pictures from the festivities: I do think Boone has a pretty good little Christmas tradition and I think our town Christmas tree is actually… Read More »Santa!!
It’s a good time to share the THE SELFIE PROJECT images from May. It was a decently busy month. But I never left the state. I mean why would you leave Iowa? We’re second to last in economic growth. 48th in personal income growth. Our education system, which used to… Read More »Selfie Project – May 2025
It is a good time to share the February images from THE SELFI PROJECT. I think it was a pretty good month. Like always I get to the end of February and think, “I really didn’t do all that much this month.” But then I start going through the selfies… Read More »Selfie Project – February 2025
This is the final collection of images from the Boone County Fair. It concentrates on the rides and games the kids rode and ate and probably wore. Here are some pictures from the day! A bonus picture of Bokeh thrown in there at the end for the fans. This was… Read More »Sunday at the BCF: Carnival

Last Saturday we left off with some wildness going on at the Foam Party. We we start there and this collection will finish off the foam party pictures. But really there can never be too many foam party pictures! Although that was the end of the foam party, there are… Read More »Sunday at the BCF: Foam Party Endeth
I made a fairly rare appearance at the Sunday of the Boone County Fair. The main attraction being a chance to take pictures of Logan’s kids at the foam party.

All this cool weather lately has me in the mood to share some pictures from the Easter egg hunt at Teresa’s house this year. As with most Easter egg hunts, a good time was had by all. The Easter Bunny wears crocs…
Probably well beyond time I shared some pictures from Anela’s birthday party all the way back in November. I’m real big on the toddler party circuit. Real big!

Maybe next year. Here are a few photos: I hope everybody has as good of a… Read More »Christmas – 2023

This year Logan and Amanda hosted the Bennett Family Thanksgiving. I took a few pictures, but not many, but I thought I would share a few of them. I once again hope all of you had a good to great Thanksgiving!
Seems like a good time for another backlog cleanup. These images were taken in October of 2022, but never really fit into any other “An Artist’s Notebook” posts. Most of these were taken before the Iowa State-Kansas State football game. A game that Iowa State completely handed away to the… Read More »And You Always Say I’m Never Satisfied
