Here lieth a few PERSPECTIVE attempts that weren’t quite up to snuff. Such a sad and pathetic bunch. THE CHRISTOPHER D. BENNETT TRIVIA QUIZ QUESTION 14 This year I will be going on my 5th Mission Trip with my church’s Youth Group. Name the 4 places I have already gone:… Read More »Don’t Believe Everything that You Breathe
Recently I picked, trained, and raced a turtle in the Colo Derby. We were quite victorious, as I’m sure time and history will record. Below is a photo of my loyal steed. Some of the other combatants from that day will claim that my turtle did not win. They will… Read More »Titian
This week ended up being something of a rebound week. All the negative emotions that people felt towards EMOTIONS was left behind and they expressed positive emotions towards PERSPECTIVE. Particularly exciting this week is we have a submission from first time contributor Stephanie Kim. Stephanie lives the farthest east and… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 38 – PERSPECTIVE
I haven’t posted a picture of an animal (besides Naima) for a bit. No worries though. This animal posting will not make any references to the current inane social media debate. I present a ground squirrel… I found this guy scurrying around the Memorial Union. The only one that I… Read More »No Gorilla, Lucky 3 Year-Olds, or Inept Parents
EMOTIONS was a profoundly unpopular theme. I’m sure destined to hit the cutting room floor if this challenge extends into a second year. Maybe it was the holiday weekend. Maybe people were like feelings? Actually feeling something? No thanks! Back to my mass consumerism, thank you very much*. Either way,… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 37 – EMOTIONS
The collection of COUNTRY losers from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE isn’t large in size, but the magnitude of their loserness… I’m actually all caught up on my losers now.
The images posted here are from the folder 02-22-07. As promised, there is some squirrel. The next folder is supposed to be 02-28-07, but it seems to be just a bunch of pictures that were already in another folder, so we’ll probably just skip that one and move on.
This folder, entitled SNOW, comes from January of 2007. Next week’s folder is entitled 02-22-07. Probably pretty obvious what is in that folder.
This collection images comes from a folder called “Minnesota”. It is also from January 2006. These were taken on the Mississippi River in Saint Paul. Next Saturday’s folder is entitled “Sculpture Garden”.

This past weekend I spent hanging with my church’s youth group at the Y Camp. There were numerous interesting moments, that I’d share with a person face to face. But one of my favorite moments was watching a bald eagle swoop down out of the air and onto a sandbar… Read More »#MERICA
I think there were a healthy amount of SELF-PORTRAIT submissions this week. I know that submitting a selfie isn’t for everybody, it takes a certain amount of courage or arrogance. Whatever. Not judging. Here are this week’s submissions for SELF-PORTRAIT: Kim Barker Michelle Haupt Angie DeWaard Christopher D. Bennett Bill… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 25 – SELF-PORTRAIT
I feel like it has been too long since I published a picture of Naima. So I’m going to remedy that: Naima does love new fallen snow. Probably because she doesn’t have to snow. Oh wait… I never have to shovel snow either! PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL… Read More »Rich Chords Over a Bass Pedal
One more look at that deer from the other day. After this photo s/he ran off to the woods. Never to be seen by me again.

On my way home from The Ledges the other day I spotted a deer on the side of the road. After I passed it by it crossed the road and went into a conrnfield. I circled my car back and got this shot. There probably is another deer photo in… Read More »The Harvest
This is a look back at the photos from the calendar I gave as Christmas gifts in 2012. You’ll see many of the same images from the flower calendar. I have no doubts.

Looking at these images I think I might go back to my old school way of lining up images with their months in 2017. If I walk away from the all flower calendar. I guess we’ll see how that plays out. January February March April May June July August September… Read More »2012
As I look over this collection I am reminded that it has been too long since I’ve done some full moon photography, like the photo represented by April. Who wants to keep me company and go do some full moon photography next full moon? January February March April May June… Read More »2011
I told you that BLACK AND WHITE photography was my passion. So… Buckle up buttercup, this is going to be a long one… Sometimes I forget that smack in the middle of Ames is the most beautiful campus in the world. I should really visit it more often. GO STATE!!!
The 2010 calendar was the last calendar that included a human subject. As I open up the subject matter past flowers for the 2017 calendar, it is possible a human subject might find their way back into the calendar. Until then Jill and Sara are the last humans to grace… Read More »2010
