While I was mowing on Tuesday night, I discovered that I have a new neighbor. He has taken up residency in my woodpile. He is adorable! Have a peek: I hope he never leaves! Happy day drinking holiday to people who appropriate another’s culture as an excuse to day drink!… Read More »New Neighbor
The folder called 08-01-07 is kind of all over the place. Next Saturday’s folder involves the Iowa State Fair.
The rest of the TREE images that didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: It just a shame that these pictures don’t believe in themselves.
Here is the first batch of pictures that didn’t have what it takes for the TREE theme of the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: If only these poor pictures believed in themselves, who knows what they could accomplish.
I don’t normally explain too much with anything, but I feel I should at least answer a question that will be going through your mind while looking at these pictures. Yes, I think water fowl are ANGRY. All the time. Probably with good reason. We are always trying to kill… Read More »Now I Know I’m Being Used
The folder called 07-16-07 was all over the place. You’ll be happy to know that I got all of my Jason Voorhees jokes about this set of images out of my system before I wrote this here journal entry. Next “Saturday’s” folder might involve donuts. Although, I will probably just… Read More »07-16-07
These are the pictures that didn’t have what it takes for the FACELESS PORTRAIT theme for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Sad. If only these images would believe in themselves.
Some squirrel and some Des Moines at night in the folder they call 07-14-07: Next “Saturday’s” folder will have something to do with hobos, I suspect.
These pictures didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for RURAL for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Perhaps, some of them are just me playing with new camera settings: I don’t know. Maybe if these images just believed in themselves, they could accomplish something… something great.
These pictures didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for ANIMAL in this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: If only these pictures just believed in themselves a little bit more… they might do great things.
There seems to be a very strong recurring theme in the majority of this week’s submissions for ANIMAL. I didn’t get the weekly reminder out this week because I was sick most of last week and sickness always turns into laziness for me. But you don’t want to listen to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 77 – ANIMAL
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
These pictures didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the GOVERNMENT theme for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Maybe these pictures aren’t so bad. Maybe if only the believed in themselves.
Looks like I went to Iowa State & Woodward for photos for the album called 07-04-07. Next Saturday’s walk down Memory Lane will be flower heavy.
These pictures were taken near my Mom’s alley. Next Saturday’s folder will involve a southern Boone County road trip I took back in 2007.
The remainder of the BLACK & WHITE photos that didn’t make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE from the BLACK & WHITE PHOTO ROAD TRIP. However, it isn’t the end of the rejects: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this collection of pathetic losers.
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 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
Lots of flowers and killdeer in the folder called 06-23-07. Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve a road trip.
This is a cleanout of images from the end of May. A few of these images are from Brookside Park as well.
The folder called 06-19-07 includes folders of killdeer that I photographed with Steph and Yin and that time Jesse and I met the man that will probably be recorded by history as the best president of my lifetime. I’m not sure where next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will go.… Read More »06-19-07
