GROUP PORTRAIT turned out to be surprisingly popular. When I woke from my slumbers this morning, about 15 minutes after arriving at the computer mine, I had only received 2 submissions. I thought there was no way we would get to double digits for submissions. But as the morning unfolded,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 194 – GROUP PORTRAIT
First things first. Even though Photography 139 doesn’t take days off, it does acknowledge holidays. I hope you have had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, but also take the time to remember why it is you got a 3 day weekend. To honor the people who have died while serving… Read More »WPC – WEEK 193 – BLUE
A few Saturdays back I went out to Long Park with Johnathan and Logan to test Rodan139 out as there were some quirky things that happened with it on the previous day when I took it to Don Williams. Turned out it was more of a phone update issue than… Read More »A Photo Journal – Pages 84-85
It turns out that RURAL is a startlingly unpopular theme. Sad, since I can think of at least 5 people off-hand that regularly contribute that live RURAL. Even more if you consider that Iowa is almost completely RURAL. The streak of double digit submissions sadly has come to an end.… Read More »WPC – WEEK 192 – RURAL
I have recently had a battle in my head and in my wallet. I knew I wanted to purchase a new camera that was something like an action cam, only so much more. It has the qualities of say a GoPro, but the image quality is vastly superior. The amount… Read More »The New New
Last Tuesday I took a little bit of time off from the Computer Mine to make progress in my personal quest to meet, photograph, or at least see in person the person that will take office as the next President of the United States in 2021. Beto O’Rourke was in… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Beto O’Rourke
…the strength of street knowledge. I don’t usually take a bunch of extra pictures for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE any longer, but with a theme like STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, it really screamed to take a ton of images. So that is what I did. On Saturday morning I went down to… Read More »You are About to Witness…
We hit double digits for, we’ll call it, the 5th week in a row. STREET PHOTOGRAPHY was a surprisingly popular theme even though it is a type of photography that can often put people outside of their comfort zone. This week, the Photography 139 Weekly Photo Challenge Empire extended as… Read More »WPC – WEEK 191 – STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
Dipping into the backlog again. This post finishes off all of the backlog from May of 2018! WooHoo! It once again draws on a consistent theme. Me taking pictures of Naima at Dickcissel Park. You might be wondering why I took so many of these pictures last year. The reason… Read More »Naima Takes Dickcissel

Seems like a good time to share my favorite pictures from THE SELFIE PROJECT from April. I’ve been trying to be more interesting with the pictures, or at least more interesting with my life, since it felt like in January and February I didn’t do anything. I don’t know if… Read More »Selfie Project – April
Happy International Workers’ Day! Also, sometimes known as May Day and one of the few holidays I haven’t heard some humbug grouse about how it is a fabricated holiday forced upon us by the greeting card cartels. On this International Workers’ Day, remember the old parable about how the world… Read More »Happy International Workers’ Day
Yet another solid week of submissions! DESSERT hit double digits in submission making it, at least a few weeks in a row of double digit submissions.

Last Saturday Logan stopped by to show me his super sweet gimbal and to borrow my Rode microphone to see if it is something that he wanted to add one to his arsenal in the future. I hadn’t actually touched the Rode in probably 4 or 5 years. I guess… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 32
Dipping in to the 2018 backlog to share some of the photos from the Miller-Peterson Christmas. We celebrated in the Fellowship Hall of my church. Almost everybody made it except for the Manhattan Millers. The triplets, I think were still in the hospital at the time. Hopefully everybody is able… Read More »Miller-Peterson Christmas
It has been awhile since we checked in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. I figured today was as good of a day as any to check out March before April is over. I’m not sure I did more interesting things in March than I did in February or January where it… Read More »Selfie Project – March
A very solid week of submissions for RELIGION. We hit double digits and maybe if the weather stays nice, we can stay in that rarefied air! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submssions: Carla Stensland Carla… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 188 – RELIGION
There aren’t many pictures in the folders 2009-01-05 and 2009-01-25 so I decided to combine them into one post. The pictures are mostly from a trip around Boone during a snowstorm and Nader and I’s last trip to the Varsity Theater. Many people may not remember the Varsity. It was… Read More »2009-01-05 & 2009-01-25
A couple weekends back up I went to Minnesota to check out the Final Four festivities and check-in with a few people I hadn’t seen for a long time. On Sunday morning I hit a donut shop with Becca and Shawn. Then I went to Minnehaha Falls to kill sometime… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 90
I need to start by saying Happy Maundy Thursday. It is the day we celebrate Jesus giving us a new commandment: 33 “Children, I am with you for only a short time longer. You are going to look high and low for me. But just as I told the Jews,… Read More »Naima vs. Mother Goose
I thought I had published every picture I have taken for the Boone Area Humane Society, but while checking out the backlog I realized that was in error. I never published pictures from the Pufferbilly Days Pet Show. Now the subject of this post called in the Pufferbilly Days Dog… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Dog Show
