07-07-07
Looks like a trip to Marshalltown and then a trip to Midnight Madness in the folder 07-07-07: Next week’s folder will involve a softball game.
Biscuits and Gravy
A few weeks back, the Methodist Men had a Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Fundraiser. Here are a few cruddy cell phone pictures from the event: It was quite the success! In fact, might have been too big of a success. We actually ran out of gravy. An error that will… Read More »Biscuits and Gravy
3 for 4
Jesse and I went down to Kansas City last Saturday to watch Iowa State play West Virginia in the Big 12 Championship Game. Here are a few cruddy cell phone pictures from the day: It was a great day spent in Hilton South with 18,000 of my closest friends! Iowa… Read More »3 for 4

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 78 – SILHOUETTE
Looks like the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE went on Spring Break. Perhaps SILHOUETTE is too challenging of a theme. I’m not sure, but participation numbers this week are as low as they’ve ever been. Worries me that the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE might be on the way out. I guess we’ll see… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 78 – SILHOUETTE

07-06-07
Most of the images in the folder 07-06-07 were from a set of photos designed to test a panoramic stitching app. Not much to see there. Next Saturday’s walk down Memory Lane will involve a trip to Marshalltown and Willy not wearing a shirt. Perhaps not connected. Perhaps not in… Read More »07-06-07
Happy International Women’s Day!
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!
I’ve Done My Sentence…. But Committed No Crimes
It finally happened. After playing in the Ames Basketball Rec League for I think 6 years now, my team won the championship. Raise the championship banner guys! CHAMPIONS! Congrats to Charge, Josh, Humble Narrator, Ian, Frank, Cole, Scott, Adam, and Matt. (Not pictured is the injured Jacob) We did it!… Read More »I’ve Done My Sentence…. But Committed No Crimes
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 77 – ANIMAL
There seems to be a very strong recurring theme in the majority of this week’s submissions for ANIMAL. I didn’t get the weekly reminder out this week because I was sick most of last week and sickness always turns into laziness for me. But you don’t want to listen to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 77 – ANIMAL
07-05-07
I believe all the flowers in the folder 07-05-07 belonged to Jen and Derrick. Next week’s folder will involve a sword.
Both
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. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL LENGTH: 20mm APERTURE: f/7.1 EXPOSURE: 1/200 DATE: 01-21-2017… Read More »Both
Post No. 2500
This blog has hit a milestone. This is the 2500th post since I started “An Artist’s Notebook” on August 9, 2006. A lot of different things have went through these pages over the last 10+ years, but I hope I’ve stayed true to the original vision I laid down in… Read More »Post No. 2500
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 76 – GOVERNMENT
GOVERNMENT didn’t really ring a lot of people’s bells, which means it will definitely be back on the menu for the next set of themes. Why? I’m not a quitter. However, we are nearing the halfway point of the second set of themes since we rebooted the RANDOM WEEKLY PHOTO… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 76 – GOVERNMENT
Get Your Ash On!
A quick break for an advertisement! Hey if you are free on Wednesday nights and generally hungry on Wednesday nights, do I have a deal for you! Come down to the Boone First United Methodist Church at 6 PM for a Spaghetti Dinner. The cost is an at-will offering! Can’t… Read More »Get Your Ash On!
Know What I’m Sayin’?
Here are the MUSIC photos that didn’t have what it takes to be included in this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers!
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 75 – MUSIC
Most people seem to have adjusted to the new way of things. As participation rates didn’t spike, but they also didn’t fall… too far. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see this week’s submissions. Here are the submissions… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 75 – MUSIC
Sprechen Sie Deutche, Baby – Gamma
I promise, there won’t be so many MUSIC pictures that weren’t up to snuff. Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers!
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 74 – BLACK & WHITE
A great week of participation, which has me all amped up, since BLACK & WHITE is my favorite theme. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You want to see the submissions. Here they be: Kim Barker Christopher D. Bennett Shannon Bardole Stephanie… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 74 – BLACK & WHITE
06-28-07
Mostly train photos in the folder they call 06-28-07: Next week’s folder seems to be ground squirrel heavy.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 73 – ABSTRACT
A decent rebound from last week as several people were able to get all ABSTRACT. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you want to see the submissions. Here are the submissions for ABSTRACT: Kim Barker Logan Kahler Stephanie Kim Sarah Karber Angie… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 73 – ABSTRACT
