The great national nightmare, or maybe it was just my nightmare, is finally, virtually over. The 2 day house painting party this weekend is over and my house is painted! Just a couple splashes of paint here and there, and hanging a few things up and it is over. So… Read More »Painting!
Russell is a HUGE fan of blimps and when he saw this blimp floating near his place of employment he sent it on to me hoping I would share it with the masses. So I have. Snaps for Russell. What Russell doesn’t know is that while I can claim a… Read More »Guest Photo of the Day 001
Before & After The Great Office Cleanup of 2014 The good news is that in addition to cleaning the office, I also was able to figure out which cable was bad and fix my home network problems. The sad news is that one of my monitors went kaput, meaning that… Read More »Photo of the Day 0080
A few weeks back it was actually Story County Philanthropy Day. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day: Not sure where next week’s randomness will go, but it might involve a traitorous dog.
Croutons This picture of an abandoned sign on the side of I-80 concludes the pictures from Shannon and I’s road trip. Originally there was planned to be a set of images from the Corning Opera House, but I don’t like them at all. I usually don’t run from my failures,… Read More »Personal Photo Project No. 187
Unsolved My Personal Photo Project this week was to photograph the most famous allegedly haunted house in Iowa. The Villisca Axe Murder House. I will state that I don’t believe in ghosts, but I am open to the possibility of their existence. In the same vein, I’m open to the… Read More »Personal Photo Project No. 185
The Little White City Another one of Shannon and I’s stops on the Southwest Iowa Road Trip was to Stanton. We went there for two reasons. One was to eat lunch (that ended in abysmal failure, well we did eat lunch, but only the onion rings are worth talking about)… Read More »Personal Photo Project #183
Now that I am officially caught back up with my blogging, I’d like to do a little bit of general house cleaning and look at some completely meaningless statistics. First of all and most importantly, the Gallery/Store has experienced a complete redesign. It could still be classified as a work… Read More »Post No. 1718
$80 The first scheduled stop on Shannon and I’s road trip itinerary was the grounds of a former 19th century cult that had a colony near Corning, called the French Icarians. They had some pretty crazy beliefs like: Fraternity. As a rule of conduct, three principles summarize all: Love your… Read More »Personal Photo Project No. 181
Here is a collection of my favorite Instagram postings from May and June: I can’t wait to find out what adventures I had in July and August!
A Rock Painted to Look Like a Rock I recently went on a road trip through southwest Iowa with Shannon. While the Freedom Rock was not on the original itinerary, a quirk of fate (i.e. bad traffic on I-80), and my famous love for bad art (I even once went… Read More »Personal Photo Project No. 179
Some of my favorite pictures of Derrick that I have access to… If you are wondering why I have so many pictures of Derrick, don’t…
Now that I have the keywords in my gallery closer to being set up the way (but is by all means, not pefect) I want them to be set up, I think the halfway mark of the year is a perfect time to bring back the Happy Birthday post. So… Read More »Happy Birthday Jen!
I was commissioned to photograph the Story County Philanthropy Day Luncheon. Here are a few images from the event: Next week’s Wednesday randomness will involve Layla.
Monday night Obama made his last campaign stop ever in the East Village in Des Moines. I attended his first ever campaign stop in Iowa at Hilton Coliseum all the way back in 2007 with Jen and Derrick and maybe Willy. I figured that I should be there for the… Read More »Omega

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Amy Davis and Rick Hahn. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the experience. I need to thank Shannon for assisting me during this wedding. She was a tremendous help.
I have to confess that I did flop a couple (nearly all) of these days around for convenience and to work around special events. This is a practice I don’t condone, but one that I won’t shy away from in the future. The 3rd 7 days of the 365 Day… Read More »365 Day Photo Challenge: 15-21

Now that I am caught back up, I’d like to step back and take stock of where this journal has went since its inception on August 9, 2006. Since the last time I looked at these statistics, I have completed changed galleries. I can no longer show you what are… Read More »Blog No. 1447
