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
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
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!
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!
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
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!
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
Mostly train photos in the folder they call 06-28-07: Next week’s folder seems to be ground squirrel heavy.
Last Sunday Mom, Teresa, Vi, and I loaded up into the car and traveled to the great north to visit Andrea, Josh, Wesley, and Grace. It was a great time, but perhaps the highlight was going up into Andrea’s church’s dome with Josh. Here are a few of my favorite… Read More »The Dome
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
The rest of the 06-27-07 folder. Lots of changes to that family in 10 years. Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve a train.
I took some photos of the Stenslands back in May. Probably should show you some of them at this point. Here are some of my favorites. Not sure when this group of people will be together again. Alexis leaves for the Navy in the next few weeks. Elainie still has… Read More »Stensland Family Backlog Cleanout
Since it is the beginning of a new month, thought now would be a good time to check back in on the Selfie Project and post a few of my new favorites. Day 10 Day 13 Day 14 Day 18 Day 20 Day 21 Day 22 Day 25 Day 27… Read More »Selfie Project Check In
I was told this week’s challenge theme was really hard. That guarantees it will be back next year. Also, this week’s theme is even harder. So let’s get after it! But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about how hard things are, you want to see… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 72 – RELIGION
Think I’ll split this folder into 2 sections. Cause I can. Next week I’ll probably finish this album with some Henning action.
The 9 Emotions Project Wall is no more. The 9 16×20 photos are gone. Technically they are stacked in the guest bedroom until I figure out what I’m going to do them. I’ve replaced them with 9 16×20 canvases to diversify the pictures on my wall and I have this… Read More »The Canvas Wall
Last Saturday it was my great pleasure to attend the Women’s March in Des Moines with Jen, Sara, Shawn, Evie, Layla, Gretchen and 27,000 other people. I believe this to my favorite picture from the day. But I’m only getting the editing process going. I don’t get very political on… Read More »You Might as Well Question Why We Breathe
These are the images that didn’t make this week’s cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – HAPPY: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
Not a ton of submissions for HAPPY this week. This makes me sad, how little happiness was out there this week. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about happiness. You want to see the submissions for HAPPY! Suzie Brannen Kim Barker Stephanie Kim Angie DeWaard… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 71 – HAPPY
The pictures in the folder called 06-24-07 were from a road trip I went on with Jay. Next week’s folder is hard to explain, so I won’t even try.
Last night at Youth Group, as we were finishing up our re-writing of the Ten Commandments we had a special guest. Teresa brought her new pooch Mocha for the kids to play with and to illustrate a point about coveting. Here are a few pictures from last night: Most of… Read More »Special Guest
