Community Thanksgiving
I was able to snap a few photos of my church’s (Boone First United Methodist) Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Here are a few of my favorites: I believe they served close to 400 people this year.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 66 – MACRO
Pretty good participation rates for MACRO. One of my personal favorites. But you don’t want to hear me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you want to see the submissions: Angie DeWaard 1 Angie DeWaard 2 Bill Wentworth Becky Perkovich Jeff Kewer 1 Jeff Kewer 2 Kim Barker 1 Kim… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 66 – MACRO

Bennett Angie DeWaard Sarah Karber Bill Wentworth Teresa Kahler 1 Teresa Kahler 2 Teresa Kahler 3 Teresa Kahler… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 65 – FAMILY
06-09-07
A wide variety of photos from the folder named 06-09-07: Next week’s folder has some Becca in it.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 64 – TOWN
This was definitely a tough week for participation rates. It was even a little tough for me. The early sunset. The national depression. The busy holidays. It has been tough the last few weeks. I get it. Hopefully there will be a bounce back next week. But you don’t want… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 64 – TOWN
Nader Day
A few weeks back I took Nader down to Des Moines for his birthday. We bummed around the downtown area and then met Jeff, Yin, and a couple of Baiers for lunch at Mad Meatball. Here are a few pictures from the bumming around phase of the day: We also… Read More »Nader Day
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 63 – LOVE
There wasn’t as much LOVE in the world this week as one would have hoped. I’ll just hope that when we get to HATE, it isn’t a more popular option. But it is the world that we live in. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 63 – LOVE
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 62 – NIGHT
Participation rates may have dipped again slightly. The cool night air maybe zapping some motivation. Possibly. It even happened to me a bit this week. I was going to take my photo Saturday night and then fell asleep. Then I was going to do it Sunday night, fell asleep on… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 62 – NIGHT
State Center Backlog
A long time ago, Joe and I hopped in the Camry and went to Marshalltown for some pizza. On the way back we stopped at the State Center Rose Garden. It was late in the evening, so I didn’t get as many images as I normally do. I will have… Read More »State Center Backlog
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 61 – STILL LIFE
There weren’t a whole lot of takers for STILL LIFE. Must have been a depression of some kind out there. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you want to see the submissions. Here they are: Kim Barker Bill Wentworth Angie DeWaard Stephanie… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 61 – STILL LIFE
Harvest Vineyard Photo Booth
Last Sunday Shannon asked me to run a Photo Booth for her church’s party. It wasn’t exactly what I imagined, so I way over prepared, but that is cool, because it ended up being easier than anticipated. Here are a few pictures from the day: It was a very impressive… Read More »Harvest Vineyard Photo Booth
Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Gamma
It gets dark at like 4:30 now and I was incredibly tired last night. So I only have pictures of hanging up the first mural and not many: I wish I had pictures of the other murals to post, but you’ll have to trust me. They are really coming along.… Read More »Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Gamma
Happy Jayoween
The Saturday before Halloween Jay and I got together for our annual tradition of watching horror movies and carving pumpkins. This year Willy joined us. This year Jay carved a clown for my Mom: My pumpkin will remain unpictured. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 1600 FOCAL LENGTH: 60mm APERTURE: f/2… Read More »Happy Jayoween
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 60 – LANDSCAPE
Some of the stalwarts didn’t make it for LANDSCAPE. That’s okay. When one person falls, another person can pick up the torch and carry on. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about torches. You want to see the submissions for LANDSCAPE: Bill Wentworth Cathie Raley… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 60 – LANDSCAPE
Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Beta
Mediacom. That is all I’m going to say for now. So these pictures actually started out with me just wanting to document a little bit of the Mural Project progress, but then a bunch of kids wanted to take pictures. Which made me nervous, but I let Jaxson, Wyatt, and… Read More »Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Beta
Taco Tailgate 3
Before the Iowa State-Kansas State game we had our annual Taco Tailgate. Here are a few images from what was not a well executed event. In the end, the tacos were still delicious. That is all the matters in the end.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 59 – ROAD TRIP
ROAD TRIP saw some of the regulars drop out, but the ones that did participate went all in. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You just want to see the submissions. Here they are: Becky Perkovich 1 Becky Perkovich 2 Becky Perkovich… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 59 – ROAD TRIP
Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Nick’s
Last week’s The Iowa Pork Producers announcer their annual winner for the best tenderloin in the state of Iowa. Unfortunately, they always get it wrong. Wrong! I can point to the year The Lucky Pig won. A disaster of a tenderloin. Or even worse is the year that Gramma’s Ktichen… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Nick’s
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 58 – POP ART
I wasn’t sure how POP ART would go over as a WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme as it is a little bit harder to wrap one’s mind around than the typical theme. However, there was still good participation. I love it! Although I good stand here and talk all tommyrot about… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 58 – POP ART
Beans
I’ve fallen way behind due to internet issues, some sickness, lots of energy spend on some Youth Group stuff, lots of energy spent on Methodist Men stuff, tenderloining, birthday celebrations, and some general laziness. I’ll try to catch up today and maybe tomorrow. This “Saturday’s” folder is Beans: These pictures… Read More »Beans
Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #1
Last Wednesday before Youth Group, a hearty clan of painters painted the south wall of the old Salvation Army Building. This phase is just to make it less of an eyesore. Phase 2 will involve painting murals where the boarded up windows are. Well, it is one of the phases.… Read More »Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #1
