There are 2 types of pictures in the folder called 10-26-08. Some are from Iowa State’s game with Texas A&M. The second type are pictures from a Suffrage Parade re-enactment that took place in Boone in 2008. Perhaps you don’t know that Boone was (possibly) the site of the first… Read More »10-26-08
You might think this post really belongs on Saturday as it is a bit of a walk down memory lane, but these images were never really posted to “An Artist’s Notebook” until today.

Yes Virginia, there was a Photography 139 Calendar this year. However, I didn’t sell them this year. I just made a small run and gave them out to a very few small group of select people. Here are the pictures from the 2019 Photography 139 Calendar: The front cover is… Read More »2019 Photography 139 Calendar
Happy New Year to people who celebrate such things. I like to look at some meaningless statistics every 250 posts and I also look at fairly meaningless year end statistics. Just so happens that I get to combine them today!! Here is both a year in review and a celebration… Read More »Post #3252 – 2018 Year in Review
As 2019 comes barreling down upon us like a runaway freight train with a faulty dead man’s switch, I realize I probably have quite a bit of 2018 back log to get through. Back in March I went out to Ledges to watch Willy finish the Ledges leg of the… Read More »Iowa Trail Run – Ledges

Back on the 4th of July Willy and I got together to blow up some stuff and photograph the result. I didn’t turn out exactly as one had hoped. Almost as soon as we started, the sky became overcast. Then it became dark. Then it started to rain. The worst… Read More »Blow Up!

The pictures from the folder 06-11-08 are from a road trip I took with Willy and Jay to Dyersville. The point of the road trip was to see The Field of Dreams. Jay actually suggested this road trip, even though he doesn’t like baseball. I agreed to go, even though… Read More »06-11-08
At this point on our stroll down memory lane, rather than go through full folders, I’m taking a a bit out of a folder at a time, because some of these folders have hundreds and hundreds of images.

There are so many images in the folder called 07-20-08 that I’m going to split the next 2 folders into 3 posts, most likely. The images in this post are from Ames on the Half Shell with Kountertop, the Iowa Games, some softball, and the Boone County Fair. Kountertop was… Read More »07-20-08

I knew that HUMOR was going to be a hard theme. As I write this, it would seem that many people struggled to find HUMOR in their everyday lives. I would have some commentary on that, but I’ll spare you at this time. As I am writing this, I am… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 148 – HUMOR
Pretty much all of the images from the folder 06-07-08 are from Ames on the Half Shell’s Family Night. I believe the name of the band was Murphy’s Law. There are plenty of images of people that weren’t Jaycees in this collection: The picture of the pie was a rhubarb… Read More »06-07-08
