Since Monday’s reveal of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE submissions I have been flooded (virtually) with questions about what Naima listens to when she has her headphones on.

One of the problems with being so far behind in photo editing is that I come across a collection of pictures and I vaguely remember why I took them. I believe that I took most of this pictures when I was dinking around with the “toy camera” setting on the… Read More »Hasbro
I didn’t take many pictures at Iowa State football games last year because they are getting stricter about the type of camera you are allowed to carry in. At least they are to me.

14 work days of working from home in the books. I think the last time I indicated that I was starting to get a system going. Now I can say that I’m starting to get comfortable working from home. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I’ll pumped when… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #1
