New Friends

My nephew Brandon recently add a new life into his life and therefore into my family’s life. He drove halfway across the state and picked up Ezra. Last Sunday he brought Ezra over to meet Naima. It was late and it was dark and so normally I wouldn’t post a… Read More »New Friends

A Grandmother Pretends

On the Monday before Halloween the Eastern Star Home’s residents hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. My Mom helps coordinate volunteers from our church to help the residents that need it. Below are a few pictures from that event. Directing Traffic Tamara helping out. Vi helping out. I actually don’t know… Read More »A Grandmother Pretends

Website Update

So earlier in the month I alluded to the fact that I have been updating the look and feel of the website. I thought I would explain what has happened, without making you go blind with looking at things like this: Perhaps the most obvious difference is that the website… Read More »Website Update

Butane in My Veins

Here are a few of the losers that didn’t make the cut for my submission to THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE! To think, I almost gifted that wig (that was a gift from Jen) to Willy. Still might.

Thug Life

Although this undeniably falls into the category of posed photo, I still enjoy it as it shows flashes of truth. And we all know what Picasso said about art and the truth… right? The Howard Children and their Significant Others I should make a quick note that with this journal… Read More »Thug Life

Incidental

Here are a few pictures I like that come from New Toy, but don’t fit into any particular narrative. Went to Hilton Madness with Willy and Derrick. Fizer and Frese mixing it up with the young pups. Youth Room Mike, John, and Tim at the Event Formerly Known as the… Read More »Incidental

Taco Tailgate

In honor of Tacoctober a few friends from the mine and I held a taco tailgate before the Iowa State-Texas Christian football match recently. It seemed like a good time to squeeze off a few shots on the new toy. Here are a few shots from Taco Tailgate 2015: Since… Read More »Taco Tailgate

I Was A Monkey

It took many shots to get my submission for GREEN in this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge. Thought I would share some of the failures that are cool in their own right. Jay was the assistant-slash-balloon-smasher for this photo project.

New Toy

We recently held an auction at the Computer Mine. The one thing in the auction that I really coveted was a blue Canon A4000 IS. I’m not a Canon guy at all. However, I’ve been sans point and shoot for a couple years now and there are times (like mission… Read More »New Toy

Coming Soon…

Actually, not coming soon. They are already there. Recently my sister Teresa came across a collection of theater seats at the Funky Rooster. She was able to negotiate a sweet deal and after borrowing a truck from the Petersons and getting Derrick to help load them and Willy to help… Read More »Coming Soon…

You Lookin’ at Me?

I’ve always said that my favorite pictures of people are when they are being real and not the posed holiday card variety. Perhaps this is why I have so few portrait accounts. Also perhaps why I don’t have a Christmas card. In between painting my house and going out for… Read More »You Lookin’ at Me?

Oinge

It has been almost a week since I posted a flower picture and I’m sure that Russell was probably getting a little antsy, so I’ll post one of my favorite pictures that I took at the Iowa State Fair. I might even finish the week out back to back to… Read More »Oinge

Melissa and Scottie D. painting the east side of the house. Anna painting! Teresa cutting some plastic as Willy and… Read More »Painting Vol. III
