Slice of Life Vol. 6
I normally do not comment on the pictures for this project because I honestly don’t know a ton about them and frequently I’m not even sure who is even in the pictures. However, I will break with this tradition this week because for the first time in this project I… Read More »Slice of Life Vol. 6
Welcome to Beaver, Iowa
For reasons that are slightly inexplicable to me, I ended up in Beaver, Iowa yesterday morning. I’ve always felt that Beaver is a town that looks like it “walked” out of a horror movie. For this reason I once (years and years ago) took a series of pictures called “The… Read More »Welcome to Beaver, Iowa
Flame On
A couple weekends ago I made a trip to State Center with Teresa and Mom so I could photograph their rose garden. As is frequently the case, they got bored and left me behind so they could go to a gas station. When they came back they told me that… Read More »Flame On
Personal Photo Project of the Week No. 22
Not Sent for Slumber I took the Not Sent for Slumber photos on a very beautiful Spring night after eating at Jeff’s Pizza with Shannon.

Slice of Life Vol. 2
This is clearly a day late, but I lost power last night and I had a battle with my scanner that is still ongoing. These pictures are slides and the scanner wasn’t cooperating with me 100% and many of these pictures have lost a good portion of their color, but… Read More »Slice of Life Vol. 2
Memorial Day Weekend

Reiman Gardens
I spent a good portion of Sunday wandering Reiman Garens with Mom, Grandma, Teresa and Logan. Don’t believe me? Here is photographic evidence: I learned plenty about gnomes. I might just have to invest in a gnome someday, but the gigantic toad in the Reiman Gardens gift shop might be… Read More »Reiman Gardens

Transmorgify
I thought that my home was my castle, With no one scrutinizing me, No pigs, no liars, no hassle, Y’all are brutalizing me. Can’t a man not drink his beer in silence? Can’t a man not crudely lie and scream? Can’t a man not control his world with violence? Y’all… Read More »Transmorgify

Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name
Rarely when I publish pictures do I explain the thought process, the technical information or the inspiration. If somebody is confused by a picture or intrigued by a picture I want them to come to their own conclusions. I feel by telling people too much about a picture, it cheapens… Read More »Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name
