Recently my WB Joe stumbled across an article that Google had made their Nik Plugins free. I rushed to the website and downloaded this collection of 7 plugins to play with immediately. I thought I would give you a quick overview of some of the settings of these plugins, starting… Read More »Analog Efex Pro
On my recent trip to Kansas I stopped and took a few photos here and there. Kansans were burning their prairie, which made for interesting views. I missed a golden opportunity to get a pretty sweet fire picture. So I did stop to get a picture of the aftermath of… Read More »Desolation View
This week’s collection was supposed to be from the folder SNOW. That folder is just too large to go through in a weekend that involved 15 or so hours in the car. So I skipped ahead to STORE, because it is considerably less ambitious. In this small collection is an… Read More »Store

When you read the subject of this entry, you probably thought that this post was going to be about the Iowa Caucuses, but actually it is an image from my most recent trip to visit Nate and Laura. Behold! Laura tells me that it is quite the thing for people… Read More »Check Out this A Hole!
I found this barn and its hopeful message along I70 (or as a Kansan might say 70 Interstate) on my recent trip to visit Nate and Laura. I vowed to stop and take a picture of it on my way home. Mission accomplished. While this saying has graced many a… Read More »John 14:27
I spent the last weekend in Manhattan, Kansas and accomplished all of my goals for that trip: 1. Witness an Iowa State victory. 2. Eat Nate’s cooking. 3. Eat a Varsity Donut. 4. Get to the top of Manhattan Hill. 5. Get to the top of KS Hill. I have… Read More »KS
Sharing another picture from a west(ish) Kansas sunset because Laura says that west(ish) Kansas has the best sunsets. When I told people I was going to visit Manhattan, they usually say: “Cool!” Then I say, “No, the one in Kansas.” Then they say, “Oh.” After a long bit of silence… Read More »Kansas Weed
Just south of Manhattan a few miles is a scenic view. On my recent trip to visit Nate and Laura, I stopped at this scenic view and snapped a few photos. Below is one of my favorites. I took this photo on my Saturday in Manhattan. I wish I would… Read More »Highway 177

Wow! What an amazing season of College Basketball. Especially in the state of Iowa. Almost everybody has something to cheer about: The Iowa State Cyclones won the Big 12 for the second straight year. They are looking to make good on Hoiberg’s promise of a national championship. The UNI Panthers… Read More »ROUNDBALL ORACLES YEAR 11
The inside of this awesome castle type thing that Nate and I found on Vine Street. We really should have went inside of it and explored it but Nate was worried about being stabbed by homeless man, but we will return here some day.
Another look at giant shuttlecocks. Although I did enjoy some of the sculptures in Kansas City, the best sculpture garden I’ve ever seen is still in Des Moines. Go Cyclone State!
I think Nate actually did like this sculpture. … and really, what isn’t to like?
Sculpture from a Kansas City sculpture garden. This sculpture was one of my “must sees” when I went down to Lawrence to visit Nate. He was excited to stand outside in 97 degree heat looking at giant shuttlecocks.
Brandon Kahler – 2014 Roundball Oracles ChampionI apologize for taking so long to reveal the champion of Year 10 of the Roundball Oracles. But I think my post college basketball season depression (or PCBSD as mental health professionals call it) was even greater this year than in years past. You… Read More »Photo(s) of the Day 0007
A picture I’ve been meaning to post for some time. I just thought I should make a formal announcement that I am going to take a sabbatical from blogging formally.

Nate recently got a gig to be the Chef at a new restaurant. He tapped me to photograph a few of the dishes for the menu that Dae Hee was going to design. But things fell apart before the restaurant even opened and before I even edited the images. Food… Read More »Not to Be…
