Baby Triforce 1st Birthday Party – Gamma

May 8, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

The third and final collection of pictures from the Miller Triplets birthday party. I know, I’m sad about it too. Who knows when I’ll be able to get adorable triplet pictures again. Hold on to these times my friends.

It could be a long time before I see any of these people again, so I guess Laura’s Snapchat stories and Becca and Bethany’s Instagram posts will have to be enough for now.

This is your reminder that this week’s theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is EMOTIONS:

EMOTIONS

An EMOTIONS pictures is pretty simple. It is just a picture of somebody or something showing an EMOTION(S) or even a picture of something that stirs EMOTIONS in you would also work.

I get the notion that this might not be as popular of a theme. I’ve had zero submissions to this point. The last couple of weeks I have had a handful of submissions by now.

Get on it!

And.

Happy photo harvesting!

Fly Iowa X

April 3, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

Time for the 10th installment of pictures of when Fly Iowa was in Boone back in August.

Featured in this collection of photos is a plane that was painted to look like Air Force One. This airplane was the end of the show. Thank goodness because it flew around to that awful Lee Greenwood song. But more on the pilot and their terrible taste in music in a later post, probably.

Only 200 Fly Iowa pictures left to curate.

Fly Iowa Takes Manhattan

March 31, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett 5 Comments

Time for the 8th thrilling chapter of pictures from Fly Iowa.

Here is one lesson want to give everybody from these pictures. Clean your sensor. Particularly if you are going to be taking, say 1200 pictures, with most of them against a blue background. Dust spots really show up against a blue background and they can be a pain to take out in Photoshop.

It can be intimidating cleaning your photo sensor, but it actually isn’t as hard as one would think. That being said, you definitely need the proper equipment. That is all I have to say about that… at this time.

Fly Iowa: The New Blood

March 26, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

Day 4 of working from home in the books. Another positive about working from home that I’ve discovered is the extra sleep. I didn’t think I would sleep in, but it turns out, I sleep in about an extra 45 minutes. The weird part is that Naima also sleeps in later too. I wasn’t expecting that.

Let’s see how Day 5 goes…

Yes, I thought it was weird that the pilot of the Tuskegee Airmen plane was white.

Fly Iowa Lives

March 24, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

Day 2 of working from home is in the books. The positive I learned about working from home today is that the bathroom is only about 10 feet away from my work from home desk. It is always open. At the mine, I don’t know if people’s bowel movements sync up or that my fellow miners take incredibly long times in there, but it seems like there is never a free bathroom.

It is a positive that I never have to wait for a clean (just cleaned it yesterday) bathroom. Also, Joe got his microphone working, so I can call him through Teams. He doesn’t have a webcam, but at least that is one more person I can have a conversation with that doesn’t involve a keyboard. Yeah, I know, nobody took my phone away, but it feels different somehow.

Today’s soundtrack was John Coltrane.

We’ll see how Day 3 goes.

Fly Iowa: A New Beginning

March 19, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

I should start today by wising my Aunt Linda a happy birthday!

Recently I shared a collection of pictures I took of the old Boone Dump sliding into McHose Park. Aunt Linda sent me a story that I thought I would share, so you would know what kind of people I come from:

I really liked this history of the junk yard. I have fond memories of going to the junk yard as a family….my dad, mom, David, Gerald and me. Dad would take a gun in case we were attacked by rats. We often found treasures to take home for one reason or another.

I want you to think about this story the next time you even remotely think of trying to mistakenly labeling me as an elitist. I’m the guy that comes from a family that used to go to the town dump, with my Grandpa packing heat to fend off the junkyard rats! These are my people!

Happy birthday Aunt Linda!
