Way back in May of last year I surprised Nate for his birthday. Well, I wasn’t the surprise, I was the distraction. While I was in the Manhattan area, I snapped a few photos: Some of the pictures were taken in Manhattan suburbs like Leonardville and Ogden and Shelbyville and… Read More »Happy Birthday Nate!
Here are the balance of the Needles Highway pictures: I would highly endorse the Needles Highway. It is a 2 lane road that is about the width of the roads that go through State Parks in Iowa. Only on one side is a 1500 fall to your death. Usually without… Read More »Needles Vol. 2

On my recent trip to the “bold” north, I made it a trip to Minnehaha Falls. Dae Hee and I foolishly made our way down a very dangerous set of steps to get near the base of the waterfall. Bethany and Nora wisely stayed in the car: If Dae Hee… Read More »Don’t Know if I’m Elated or Gassy. But I’m Somewhere in that Zone
The world wasn’t ready for these OLD/ELDERLY pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer. Most of these pictures were taken at a Methodist Church. Either in Boone or Stratford. You’re welcome world!
Despite the nicer weather, participation rates for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE haven’t rebounded. Might be time to consider retiring it at the end of this 52 week run.

I went up to Minnesota for the Super Bowl. Well, not really for the Super Bowl, but more for the activities surrounding the Super Bowl. I can’t afford a ticket to the Super Bowl. I work at the Computer Mine, not Goldman Sachs or some other place populated by white… Read More »I Left You by the House of Fun

Another time to hit up the backlog. These pictures I took on May 8: It was these last few photos that lead to the Great Jake Sullivan Failure.
I recently visited my nephew Logan at his internship at KWBG to check out his digs. Took a couple pictures too: It is possible that some of these photos were staged. It is also possible that some of them aren’t. It is Schrodinger’s pictures, only it isn’t.

A bit from the old backlog. These pictures were taken on July 20. The zinnias were photographed in my very own Photography 139 Flower Garden.
