There aren’t many pictures in the folder 2009-04-11, so I’m publishing photos from the folder 2009-04-20. The pictures from the folder 2009-04-11 are from when Derrick and Jen moved into their new house. They moved about a month after I moved. They have since moved again. I have not. They… Read More »2009-04-11 & 2009-04-20
The pictures in the folder 2009-04-07/Electric_Car are from a trip I took out to the Junck Farm with Sara. We went out there shortly after her parentals had purchased an electric car from 1925.

Sometime in late 2008 my organizational process of my photos went all FUBAR. The result is that it appears that I have actually lost several images from late 2008 and early 2009. None of the lost pictures are of much consequence, but it is annoying nonetheless. Part of this breakdown… Read More »12December2008
There is quite the collection of images in the folder called 10-13-08. I can’t possibly include all of them in this here entry, so I’ll just have to pick out a few that I like the most. The pictures range from Gyro Day at the Computer Mine to the Ames… Read More »10-13-08
Way back in August I was invited out to the Junck farm to play with his drone. That was the moment I officially got drone fever. I played with the drone for at least 45 minutes. I would share some pictures from that experience, but I have yet to see… Read More »Organized Lightning
Way back in October of 2017, Jesse and I took Nader to Gilbert (a town I despise) to visit the people in the church that sponsored Nader when he first came to the United States. While we were there, we visited his friend Gene. Gene was one of Nader’s initial… Read More »Gilbert Cars

The world was not ready for these ROAD TRIP pictures on Monday. It is highly doubtful that the world is ready for these ROAD TRIP pictures now, but I can’t hold them back any longer.

As you become aged, you get invited to less and less parties. I think I was invited to 3 toddler birthday parties and 1 anniversary party last year. I think that was it. My entire social calendar for 2017. The anniversary party was for the parents of Sara and Steven… Read More »Happy Anniversary Juncks!
Back in August I went up to Minnesota to visit some of my favorite peeps, but I also had an ulterior motive. For years I’ve driven up to the Twin Cities area and just south of Lakeville I would come across a strange collection of sculptures on the east side… Read More »My Minnesota Spirit Animal
A couple months back Mom, Teresa, Logan, and I hopped into a vehicle of some kind and headed due east for famous What Cheer, Iowa and it’s even more famous flea market. It didn’t disappoint. I think a person could spend all day there and still not see all the… Read More »All the Fleas!

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.
Here is the April image for the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar: This picture goes into a category (it is a fairly stacked category) of, “I really love this photo but I’m not sure many other people will.” Different strokes for different folks. I love pictures of deterioration. Plus the license… Read More »2017 Photography 139 Calendar April
