From the 2018 backlog. I took these flower pictures in September of last year. It seems a crime that it took me over 12 months to publish them. However, if I ever get caught up on my backlog, I plan on keeping this blog more of an up to date… Read More »Believe in Tomorrow
The pictures in the folder 2009-06-26 are of one of my favorite flowers, the allium. My favorite flower is still the moonflower, but I would rank the allium a close second. Here is a quick peek at the Christopher D. Bennett Flower Power Rankings. Christopher D. Bennett Flower Power Rankings… Read More »2009-06-26
Hitting up that 2018 backlog again. This is a collection of flower pictures I took in mid-August of 2018. Mostly sunflowers. A few of God’s other creatures sprinkled in for fun as well. Would you believe that I am almost done with pictures from August of 2018? Well, it is… Read More »A Proud Assertion
More from the 2018 backlog. This collection of pictures was taken at Dickcissel late in the day and are kind of lousy with digital noise, but some of them aren’t too bad. Just gotta keep plugging away.
Going back to the 2018 backlog again. After this post, all of the July pictures have been edited and those that I have deemed worthy have been posted. I probably have about 15 folders of images to go through and figure out to get the 2018 backlog officially hammered out.… Read More »In Earth and Manure
Once again, hitting up the 2018 backlog. There aren’t many pictures in today’s collection just a sunflower picture and a few pictures taken out at good old Dickcissel! Probably keep hammering on this 2018 backlog again next week! +++++++ This is your reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme… Read More »Flower of the Sun
FRAMED was a popular enough theme that it crawled into double digit submission territory for the second straight week. I know that conceptually it is one of the harder themes, but we did it people! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 212 – FRAMED
Better strap it on. This post is going to be a LONG one, covering a ton of diverse ground! There are a ton of pictures in the folder known as 2009-06-22. I considered breaking this into multiple posts, but then I decided, “Nah, bro. We got this.” Thee are night… Read More »2009-06-22
Welcome to the 3,500th entry in “An Artist’s Notebook”. The blog portion of my Photography 139 website. It has been along time since I first took keyboard hand sitting in the old Computer Mine setup or possibly in my Mom’s basement, because that is where my life was at that… Read More »An Artist’s Notebook Post #3,500
Another day. Another good time to hit up that 2018 backlog. These images were captured in July. They were taken in my back yard. Last year I had a hollyhock renaissance. That didn’t translate to a bumper crop of hollyhocks this year, but I boldly predict a ton of hollyhocks… Read More »Spoken without a Sound
Back to the 2018 backlog. This is a collection of pictures I took on a day I went down to Ledges to photograph some flooding. Ledges floods so frequently these days that I rarely even bother to go photograph it. In fact, I didn’t check out Ledges flooding at all… Read More »By Ignorant Rulers
The pictures in the folder 2009-06-14 are flowers from my Grandma’s house. As near as I figure, these pictures have never been published before. Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will include more flower pictures.
Now seems like a good time to check-in with my favorite pictures from my August SELFIE PROJECT pictures. It would seem that I had a successful month of August. I met Vice-President Joe Biden. I competed in a barbecue contest at the Iowa State Fair. I also competed in a… Read More »Selfie Project – August
Another Pufferbilly Days has drawn to a close. Seems like a fitting time to share the pictures that my loyal fans selected for me to enter into the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest and furthermore, if any of those pictures received any form of love. Here are my entries: Displayed –… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest Results
The pictures in the folder 2009-05-29 are of assorted flowers that were in my backyard. One thing that I inherited and I’ve tried to not, at the very least, destroy is a wonderful backyard. I have a tendency to let parts of it become overgrown now and again, but I… Read More »2009-05-29
It is well-established that my favorite flower is the moonflower. This has bothered people who visit me in my home. Due to my deep affection for the moonflower I let it grow anywhere it wants. If that means it blocks off the backdoor to the porch, so be it. If… Read More »Datura
The holiday weekend did take the predictable hit on participation rates, but considering it was a holiday, I can’t complain about participation rates too much. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions! Jen Ensley-Gorshe Kim Barker… Read More »WPC – WEEK 207 – TOY
More from the 2018 backlog today. These are some test photos I took when I first purchased some extension tubes. Was still trying to figure out how to use them, so these are what they are. I gotta say, I feel like I’ve put a pretty good dent in this… Read More »Macro Tests
Much to the chagrin of floraphobes like Russell Kennerly, FLOWER proved to be an exceedingly popular theme. Possible the most submissions ever for one theme in the 6 year history of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. There is even a first time submission from Elizabeth. At the Computer Mine there is… Read More »WPC – WEEK 205 – FLOWER
Here is the balance of my flower pictures from my trips to the Iowa State Fair in 2018: I have one last collection of 2018 Iowa State Fair backlog pictures coming your way.
