I don’t think that it is a secret to anybody that knows me at all that black and white photography is my true photographic love. And we all know that true love is the greatest thing in the world – except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce, and tomato… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 14 – BLACK AND WHITE
Over 4 years ago, I felt it was time to retire The Friend Wall and replace it with something else. After reading a book from THE DAILY SHOW I came upon the idea to have 9 people pose while conveying 9 different emotions. Many times I’ve thought about bringing back… Read More »Use Them. Enjoy Them. Dominate Them.
This was an awesome week of participation! Hopefully this continues. A quick note because I forgot to mention this last week. The photo needs to be taken the week of the challenge. This isn’t a I have this photo I took 3 years ago that fits the category challenge. This… Read More »Weekly Photo Challenge – Week 1: Night
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
A little cowboy hanging out at Debra and Brandon’s wedding. I think I’ll share just 1 more image from this wedding.
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

I would actually like to start this by quoting the predictions I made about this year’s… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 10
Week 14 in the books. I’ll confess that I took some of these pictures not on their proper day because I was laid out pretty good last week with a bug I caught at a 3 year old’s birthday party. Lots of digital noise in some of these pictures. As… Read More »365 Day Photo Challenge: 92-98
After years and years of talking about it, I finally removed my carpet from my great room and finished the floor while I was on a vacation. It was a multi-day project that involved several days of just removing furniture and I’m still in the process of putting furniture back… Read More »The Floor

March Madness is upon us once again. Which means it is that time of year when I call upon all would-be-basketball-prognosticators to compete in an NCAA tourney bracket pool for the chance at everlasting glory, immortality, and a trophy. As always, the Roundball Oracles is open to all interested parties,… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 9
This week’s Personal Photo Project is a blatant attempt at commerce. Good old fashioned in-your-face-capitalism. I’ve been talking to Barb Henning of Everlastings about selling high quality Photography 139 products in her store for several years now, but I have always been unable to pull the trigger. However, I’ve turned… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #144
Several weeks back I was contracted to take some photos of Dawn’s granddaughter Kayelee. Here are a few photos from that photo shoot: Next week’s Random Wednesday will involve Naima’s first trip to the Dog Park.

I hate the phrase “things happen for a reason” more than I hate any other phrase in the world. That doesn’t mean that I don’t necessarily believe in fate, but for the most part I don’t like fate. Its plans run contrary to my plans, no matter how hard I… Read More »Giant Steps
