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
REMINDER It is once again time for me (and by me, I mean you guys) to pick out my photos to enter in the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. Once again, I am going to leave it up to a popular vote. The Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest allows you to enter… Read More »The Juncks – Vol. 1
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. This is not an endorsement of Rick Young for Hardin County Supervisor, although he has… Read More »I’m Not Complaining, I’m Just Being Honest, I Promise That I Will Not Beg for Respect, No!
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!
On Father’s Day the Methodist Men held their first car show. For a first time event, it was quite the success! There were 7 cars there and almost everybody in church came out and looked at and gawked and asked questions about the classic cars. Next year I anticipate getting… Read More »Father’s Day Car Show
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
Here is a collection of pictures that didn’t make the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE cut for ROAD TRIP: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
ROAD TRIP saw some of the regulars drop out, but the ones that did participate went all in. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You just want to see the submissions. Here they are: Becky Perkovich 1 Becky Perkovich 2 Becky Perkovich… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 59 – ROAD TRIP
This dump of photos from the backlog are from when Micky and I delivered some crates for work to this group of people forming some kind of art thing in the old grain elevator in west Ames. It was my favorite day of work all year! The place was falling… Read More »Backlog Photo Dump: Reliable Street
Here are some pictures from a trip to Kansas to see Nate: There is so, so, so, so much more in the backlog. But at least this was a start.
I was recently summoned to the Junck farm in Ogden to photography the Junk people and one of their old timey firetrucks. This particular firetruck was the first ever in Boone County. Here are some of my favorite images of the firetruck. If you’re a thinking, “Man that is one… Read More »First!
A small collection of loser for this week’s theme. Scottie D.’s reflection, I believe. Well. I’m in there too. I hope you can see the reflection… Photo assist from Stephanie Kim. Thanks for helping me to take the time to mock these pathetic losers.
I was recently tapped to do a photo shoot of the Junck family and their newest old timey firetruck. This photo of Gretchen is one of my favorites from the day: I’ll probably share a few more from this photo shoot at some point.

I thought now would be a good time to take another look at a filter from the Nik Plugin Collection. This time, we will look at the default filters in the Silver Efex Pro 2 collection. There are 38 of them, so I’ll split this into 2 posts. The Silver… Read More »Silver Efex Pro 2 Volume 1
For the third year in a row I joined the Junks on the back of their old-timey vehicle for the Ogden Fun Days Parade. This time, it was the recently restored and first firetruck to ever grace the streets of Boone County. Some photos. Once again, there was a wardrobe… Read More »OFD
