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

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 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
The weather last week was all over the place in Central Iowa. Beautiful one day. Windy enough to blow down one side of the Burger King garbage corral the next. Then beautiful again. Then a few snow flurries the next. Then beautiful again. While the weather was all over the… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 187 – FAVORITE COLOR
6 days ago another college basketball season sadly came to an end. While it was one of the most exciting tournaments in history, it was bittersweet as the Cyclones were eliminated in the 1st Round. Now anybody that watched Iowa State’s mercurial season knew that there was a good chance… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 15 Final Results
The pictures from the folders 2009-01-02 and 2009-01-03 involved a trip to ACTORS theater in Ames. Plus a trip to Ottumwa to work on the house that Jen inherited.

Immediately after the beautiful beard go its final photo shoot Jay and I trudged from the Photography 139 Basement Studio to the kitchen where the unpleasantness was set to be done. “O Fortuna” from Carmina Burana playing through my head. I still had time to back down. It was now… Read More »Shaving Says A Lot About A Man, Like, “I’m Not One”
Another solid week of participation! I think the most exciting development is a submission for the first time from Jen Ensley-Gorshe! She isn’t even an email subscriber! Perhaps she will become the latest person to show taste, class, and sophistication by becoming the latest Photography 139 email subscriber. Only time… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 186 – TOOL
Sometime in late 2008 my organizational process of my photos went all FUBAR. The result is that it appears that I have actually lost several images from late 2008 and early 2009. None of the lost pictures are of much consequence, but it is annoying nonetheless. Part of this breakdown… Read More »12December2008
Last Saturday I continued on my goal to try to finish THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT as Joe agreed to pose for Page 82. Before you ask, yes, Joe legitimately think the world is flat. Not only does he believe that the world is flat, he is an evangelical for the… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 82
I never meant for this to go so far. At a certain point, it felt like things got out of control and I was powerless to do anything about it. What started as laziness had grown to a point where it had a life of its own. I was supposed… Read More »Moments Before
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
The high submission rate hit a second straight week. If we get a third week that is called a streak. If we get a streak going, we might just force a one game playoff with the Yankees where our catcher calls his shot but it is a fake and he… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 185 – WATER
The grand majority of the pictures from this blog are from the folder 11-23-08, but there is one picture from the folder 11-25-08. The pictures in the folder 11-23-08 are from when Sara, Jay, and I went to see Willy and his friend Kristy run in the Turkey Trot at… Read More »11-23-08 & 11-25-08
Yellow. Yellow is the most recent filter from the super cheap filter set that I cracked out and tested. I still took mostly pictures of Naima, but I actually left my yard and went out to Dickcissel. This, was perhaps, not the best plan. With all the space to roam,… Read More »It Stands for the Sun
Spring has sprung! The new warmer weather has caused the creative juices to start salivating for all sorts of people. I’m saying it was a good week for participation.
