WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 159 – ARCHITECTURE
Before we get into the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE, here is my plea to help the Boone First United Methodist Church’s Youth Group fund their annual mission trip: Download and print that flyer.

About this time last year I headed to McHose Park and photographed the Howards for their annual family photo. This Sunday, we will be heading to Cedar Falls for this year’s family photo. But let us just enjoy last year’s for now: Plenty more pictures of the Howards in the… Read More »The 2017 Howards – Alpha
A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 55
A few weeks back Jay sent me an enigmatic message about archaeological photography. After drilling down, I figure out he was talking about taking pictures of a recently abandoned apartment in his building. An apartment that the former occupants left in less than stellar conditions. One Sunday after a post… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 55
The Great Eclipse Failure of ’17 – Dos
Here are more pictures from our mostly failed trip to Saint Joseph, Missouri to see the Solar Eclipse back in 2017. These pictures aren’t exactly in chronological order because I used 2 camera on this day and I didn’t have the foresight to synchronize their clocks. There is one more… Read More »The Great Eclipse Failure of ’17 – Dos

The Great Eclipse Failure of ’17! – Uno
You might recall that back in August of 2017 there was a solar eclipse in the United States for the first time in decades. Or at least a really long time. It cut a swath through Iowa, but in Iowa you couldn’t see the totality. It was only something like… Read More »The Great Eclipse Failure of ’17! – Uno

One photo from last week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE came in late, but I thought I would share it anyways. The picture below was submitted by Logan. It was taken at Vinton’s fireworks competition.

Boneyard Hollow
Back in July (of 2017) I made a quick little road trip up to Dolliver Memorial State Park. I did a little hiking around the Boneyard Hollow part of the park. I wouldn’t say Dolliver is one of my favorite parks in Iowa, but it has some interesting facets. Check… Read More »Boneyard Hollow
Franconia: Part 1
In what feels like forever ago, but was actually only a year ago I went up to the “bold” North to visit Bethany, Dae Hee and Nora. One of those days we headed towards the Wisconsin border and visited a sculpture park called Franconia. It was about an hour drive… Read More »Franconia: Part 1

Liberty. Rally. Pep.
More from the 2017 backlog. These pictures are from the Iowa State Liberty Bowl Pep Rally I attended with Russell and Jesse. It was a great event, but since I was already filled with pep, I did a lap around the Memphis Redbirds stadium taking some photos. It was a… Read More »Liberty. Rally. Pep.

Time to hit up that 2016 backlog again. Back in July of 2016 I went out to the Junck farm to do a family portrait shoot for the Juncks. It was so long ago that Maven wasn’t even in the picture yet. She’s definitely in the picture now though! Here… Read More »The Juncks Vol. 2
