Better strap it on. This post is going to be a LONG one, covering a ton of diverse ground! There are a ton of pictures in the folder known as 2009-06-22. I considered breaking this into multiple posts, but then I decided, “Nah, bro. We got this.” Thee are night… Read More »2009-06-22
Welcome to the 3,500th entry in “An Artist’s Notebook”. The blog portion of my Photography 139 website. It has been along time since I first took keyboard hand sitting in the old Computer Mine setup or possibly in my Mom’s basement, because that is where my life was at that… Read More »An Artist’s Notebook Post #3,500
The pictures from the folder 2009-06-12 are from the Burnin’ Sensations Ames on the Half Shell concert in 2009. It rained that day, so the concert got moved to DJ’s Taphouse. I believe that Burnin’ Sensations have played Ames on the Half Shell every single year since Ames on the… Read More »2009-06-12
The pictures from the folder 2009-06-06 are from the first Ames on the Half Shell concert of the 2009 season. The band that played was Vivace. I’m not sure if they are still around, but they were just a real solid classic rock cover band. Classic rock cover band pretty… Read More »2009-06-06
There is 1 day left to vote in the polls that will determine what pictures I enter in the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. If voting in all 6 polls at once is too much for you, you can at least cast a ballot in the last poll. Hidden Treasures of… Read More »WPC – WEEK 204 – MUSIC

I think this is the final collection of pictures I took for the Boone First United Methodist Church Directory. I think these pictures were taken on Graduation Sunday. However, that isn’t the reason for the red balloons. I just can’t remember the reason for the red balloons. Might have been… Read More »Boone FUMC Church Directory: Chapter 5
We gave her a hug. Loaded back up in the rental and left Waco profoundly changed in a way that is hard to figure. My best guess is that it would be the way you would change if you saw the Vietnam War Memorial with a veteran of the Vietnam… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Alamo Bowl
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
I still need to circle back to the Alamo Bowl Trip, but thought I would share more from my project of re-organizing some photos that pre-date the Photography 139 website. I’m actually going through a big photography re-organization in general. One of the photographers I follow on Instagram recently shared… Read More »Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2005
This collection of pictures I took for Boone First United Methodist Church’s Church Directory were taken because the Committee (I feel like I’m in an Orwell novel when I write ‘the Committee’, but if the last few years have taught us anything, it is that Orwell was a bloody optimist)… Read More »Boone FUMC Church Directory: Chapter 4
The pictures in the folder called 10-04-08 are from the Iowa State-Kansas football game in 2008. It is a little known fact to many (in the state of Kansas) that the University of Kansas even has a football team. They even had a brief amount of success when they were… Read More »10-04-08
One of the photo projects I worked on in early 2018 was grabbing miscellaneous pictures for the Boone First United Methodist Church Directory. The person in charge of putting the directory together wanted some pictures of the Bell Choir and some pictures of Doug sermonizing. That is why these pictures… Read More »Boone FUMC Church Directory: Chapter 1
Back at the end of August I had a free Saturday afternoon, so I decided to head out to Big Creek and tackle Page 40 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT: Create a playlist. Now listen to it while out taking pictures. It was hard for me to determine the exact… Read More »A PHOTO JOURNAL – HENRY CARROLL – PAGE 40
After Baby Got Rack dominated the Iowa State Fair barbecue competition I chose to hang back at the Iowa State Fair and meet up with my Mom and Carla. Here are a few pictures from the Iowa State Fair and that afternoon: I have plenty more pictures from my Iowa… Read More »Some Iowa State Fair
Yesterday, Iowa State had an emotional football game. Before the game, there was a moment of silence for Celia Barquin Arozamena. They placed her picture in the endzone where she would have stood to be honored as the Female Athlete of the Year. Both the Iowa State and Akron football… Read More »Iowa State 26 Akron 13
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
Seemed like a good time to share some of my pictures from the Iowa State Fair this year. I made two trips to the Fair. 1 with Baby Got Rack. The other on the last day of the Fair with Jesse and Nader to pick up my 2 photos that… Read More »I Want My Mummies
Yesterday, Iowa State returned to Jack Trice Stadium and played much, much, much better than they did against Iowa. They played #5 Oklahoma, a legitimate national title contender and kept the game within striking distance until the final 2 minutes of the game. I took plenty of pictures of the… Read More »Iowa State vs. Oklahoma

I haven’t really done much light painting lately. It is something I need to try… Read More »07-07-08 & 07-12-08
