Here we are, the last day of 2020. That means it is time for me to share the December image from the 2021 Photography 139 Calendar. Because of the pandemic, I got to deliver very few calendars in person this year. I think the only reactions that I got to… Read More »POSTCARD RECREATION PROJECT – SOME CHURCHES
You know that BLACK AND WHITE is my favorite theme. You know darn well that I’m going to have lots of BLACK AND WHITE alternates. Lots and lots of alternates. Actually I think I have less alternates than I normally do for BLACK AND WHITE. That being said, I’m still… Read More »Put that Fire in Your Soul
Thought that this would be a good day to share the balance of pictures I took while I was tooling around Boone County looking for my BLACK AND WHITE and Happy Independence Day photos. The sign says: On July 31, 1943 a U.S. Army Air Force B-24 Bomber Ser. No… Read More »Happy Birthday!
Need to start by wishing Jen a very happy birthday. Happy birthday Jen! I hope your birthday is as amazing as you want it to be. Sorry about the lack of iris pictures. +++++++ Time for another and I believe the last collection of tulip pictures for this year. All… Read More »Still Laughing – 2020, Too
Hey, I screwed up the schedule of posts and 2 posts accidentally posted at the same time yesterday. This one, that I took back down and re-posted and another one with daffodils. It is possible that you didn’t get the post about the daffodils yesterday. If that is the case,… Read More »Suds, Dickcissel, and Lensbaby Redux
31 straight weeks of double digit submissions!! The third straight week that I didn’t send any reminder text messages this morning and still made double digits like it ain’t no thing, but a chicken wing on a string. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot… Read More »WPC – WEEK 242 – TREE
December was a truly busy month. I actually left the state more than one. I visited places like Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. I feel I ended this attempt at THE SELFIE PROJECT fairly strong. Here are some of my favorite pictures from December: December 1 December… Read More »Selfie Project – December
March was a very Irish month for this man mostly descended from Scottish and Welsh ancestors and a splash of Cherokee. March Movie Night featured 2 of the most Irish movies around: LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD and MILLER’S CROSSING. In particular, LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD will definitely frame the way… Read More »Irish Dancing
A couple months back I stopped at Derrick and Jen’s house for reasons that currently escape me. While I was there, Evie and Layla asked me if I wanted to watch their next soccer game. I said sure, thinking that they were in some kind of organized soccer league where… Read More »My Great Shame

The world wasn’t ready for these MUSIC photos on Monday. Not sure the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer: The majority of the pictures were taken at Rieman Music in Ames. If you have any music needs, this is definitely the place… Read More »And I Wonder How the World Gon’ Take This; They Might Hate It, But You Don’t Know Anything About Me!
If we pretend that I posted this on the day that I’m pretended I posted this picture on, this sign from the Women’s March would be apropos. There will probably be a big dump of the rest of these photos coming soon. In 2 weeks, I predict. PARTICULARS CAMERA: Sony… Read More »A Basic Human Right
I figure that there is no better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than with another photo from the Women’s March in Des Moines back in January. I love this picture even though the STAR WARS franchise is just one below average to middling movie after another. If you don’t… Read More »Happy International Women’s Day!
Here is another one of my favorite images from the Women’s March back in January. I’ll probably bust through all those images in a couple weeks when I have some time taken off from work.

Last Saturday it was my great pleasure to attend the Women’s March in Des Moines with Jen, Sara, Shawn, Evie, Layla, Gretchen and 27,000 other people. I believe this to my favorite picture from the day. But I’m only getting the editing process going. I don’t get very political on… Read More »You Might as Well Question Why We Breathe
These are the images that didn’t make this week’s cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – HAPPY: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
I’ve thanked all these people in person, but I’d like to publicly thank everybody that helped out in some either small or big way with my birthday party on Saturday. Big shout out to Scott for making tons of delicious mouth watering chicken and jalapeno cream corn. I only wish… Read More »The Birthday Party of Fate (Roundup)
You can look at this collection of losers for RED from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE in a couple of different ways. Either I just wanted an excuse more pictures of my dog. OR Well that is interesting. You see, there is a setting on my camera that drops out all… Read More »With the Beefcake Pantyhose
Now is probably as good of a time as any to share the rest of my pictures from Layla’s third birthday party. Such great and sorta cooperative models!
There will be more photos from this event, but I wanted to set this photo of Layla off on its own because I like it so much. I’m not a mentalist, a psychic, or even a psycho, but this is what I think Layla is thinking: I can picture in… Read More »Home is Where the House Is
A pretty fair amount of submissions this week. I hope the momentum continues next week with a subject matter many people are less familiar with than FOOD. There is also, not one, but TWO first time contributors in this week’s submissions! Hopefully they feel inspired to keep submitting, even though… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 9 – FOOD
