Sorrow and Gladness – 2012 My annual trip to the State Center Rose Garden was kind of bittersweet. I went earlier than normal because of how early flowers have been blooming this year. As it turns out, I probably went too early and it was definitely too windy to get… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #110
Whispering Beauty – 2012 Peonies are perhaps my favorite flower that I don’t own. I’ve been considering remedying that recently, I’m just not quite sure where to put them in my yard. They are also the one flower I think that just begs you to go crazy with the saturation.… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #108

Shannon contacted me about contributing some photos to the wall near her desk at the United Way of Story County office a couple months back. I was able to get those pictures ordered for her and she got them on the wall a couple weeks back. I don’t have a… Read More »United Way Wall
Still Laughing 2012 There are a lot fewer tulip pictures this year, both the obvious and the weather played a big part in that. In fact, due to the fact that almost all flowers are blooming a month early this year, I’m pretty sure I will miss out on most… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #100
I only had time last year to make a handful of calendars. If you didn’t get a calendar this year, I am sorry. I only had one left and I gave it to Nader because he actually called and asked for one. If somebody begged I suppose I could print… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #99
Dissimilitude This project was to take some pictures with the High Contrast Monochrome setting on the Alpha 35. I probably don’t play with this setting enough. More pictures from The Dissimilitude Series: If you are wondering, I don’t know the chick in the last picture in front of Gaslamp. She… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #97
The Spice This project was to take pictures with the Partial Color (Red) setting on the Alpha 35. Many of these pictures are failed experiments. Although I don’t really think any experiment is actually a failure. Thomas Edison was once asked if he felt bad for failing on his attempt… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #96
Before the Swallow Dares These daffodils were in my Mom’s room in Methodist during Daffodil Days. If you don’t know what Daffodils Days is, let me quote from the American Cancer Society Website: You can give hope to people facing cancer and save lives by supporting the American Cancer Society… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #95
These pictures come from: backup/My Pictures/A Scene from the Woods From now on out these pictures will be digital, for the most part. Therefore the quality of the pictures will be better, but maybe not the quality of the photography. The pictures in this folder come from the old RMB… Read More »The Archives: Edition Forty-Two
Hush My mums bloomed later this year than most mums I saw around town. I think it might be their location in my yard, but it makes me think that when I tear out all the horrible evergreen bushes in my front yard next year that I might replace them… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #88
Truth Perception I should give thanks to Micky for helping make this picture possible. He saved a few lotus(es) from Lake Augustin. I should also point out that while I thought about this picture for a long time, I didn’t really executed as wisely as I could have. I did… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #87
Soul Expansion Moonflowers are my favorite flowers. I really thought I would photograph them more than I did this year, but they were in their greatest glory during my creative malaise. However, I am pretty satisfied with a few of the pictures that I did get. Here are the rest… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #86
Rancho Augustin This personal photo project was to wander and photograph the man interesting things at Rancho Augustin (not an official title). The light quit on me quicker than I wanted, so I will have to revisit this place and project again. Micky is undeniably the greatest frog photography assistant… Read More »Personal Photo Project #85
Greatest Poverty This Personal Photo Project consists of random flowers of mine (and well Jen and Derrick) that don’t fit into the flowers I make a point to photograph (lilies, daisies, irises, moonflowers, coneflowers, mums…). Here are the rest of the “unloved” flowers: Next week’s Personal Photo Project will involve… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #85
More pictures from the Digging for God Series. I hope the intensity of my anger didn’t scare some of you off. Not sure what I will publish next week. I’m still trying to get my filing system organized.

The rest of the The Girl in the Blue Skirt Series: This series of lily pictures consisted of lilies found in the gardens of my Grandma, Mom, Jen, and your truly.
