A few weeks back I went down to Camp Dodge to watch Johnathan be sworn into the Air Force. Here are a few pictures from that ceremony.
Unfortunately, Johnathan was injured during basic training. He will be returning home to Iowa to recuperate. He can return to the Air Force when he is fully healed if he so chooses. Either way, we are still awfully proud of him.
The following images come from:

All these pictures were taken at a Majors Family Reunion, not a Bennett Family Reunion, but.. whatever.
The strangest thing has dawned on my while I was looking through these pictures. For the first time in my life, I am looking forward to the Majors Family Reunion this year. Another sign that I am getting old.
Next week’s folder will be:

The majority of these pictures come from a concert my friend Mike’s band (Lesser Known Saint) had at the M Shop.
I remember telling Mike after the show how much I loved watching him “dance” on stage. He got mad and told me he wasn’t “dancing”, he was “thrashing”.
Lesser Known Saint was still patrolling the Twin Cities area until recently. I understand that they have broken up now and are pursuing separate projects.

Once again, I was hired to do the photography for Story County Philanthropy Day. Here are a few of the photos from the event:

A few weeks back I attended Evie’s birthday party. I didn’t take many photos as everybody else there had at least 1 camera and so my photo coverage of the event would have seemed excessive.
Seriously, Evie has her own paparazzi.
However, I did take a few photos of her cake eating and here they are:
Next week’s Wednesday will involve Senior pictures.
On the Sunday before Labor Day I hosted a little Bennett Family Reunion. Although none of the Fort Dodge Bennetts attended, I think it was a rousing success. It was the first reunion of its kind in at least 20 years. I hope that we can have another one next year.
Here are a few pictures from the day:
Just a couple notes. This was Naima’s first family function and she handled herself wonderfully for only having been in her new home for 5 days. Amazingly, she had yet to discover human food. That turned out to be a short lived nirvana though.
Also, I only wore that horrible Chiefs shirt to honor my cousin Jordan who is the most realistic Chiefs fan I know. So thanks for giving me that shirts Mr. Baier. It was a hit.
Elainie graduated a couple weeks back. Here are a couple of pictures from the day.
I didn’t take a camera to the Open House for some reason. I clearly now regret that.
Next Wednesday’s randomness will feature pictures of Evie.
Shannon assisted me with doing the photography for the Red Cross Young Heroes Banquet.
Here are some of the images:
There are a couple hundred more pictures in the Young Heroes Gallery in the Photography 139 Store:
It was a very interesting and inspiring night. It is amazing what so many young people are doing to make our world a better place.

Here are a few pictures from Story County Philanthropy Day.
There are a ton more pictures up in the Philanthropy Day Photo Gallery:
I co-hosted a Baby Shower for Baby G. with Sara a couple months back. Sara wanted a photobooth for the shower, so I made a makeshift one in her garage. It worked well enough and we were able to use the pictures in a book of baby advice for them as a present when Baby G. came into this world officially.
Here are a few other pictures from the photo booth:

Even though these pictures are only a couple of months old, they just feel really dated!
I might have to tweak the photo booth idea again in the future, but it does need quite a bit of tweaking.
