Flowers

Night Visions

I assume everybody else does the same thing when they can not sleep at night. There are times when I look at flowers that I am reminded of the following quote: God loved the flowers and invented soil. Man loved the flowers and invented vases. -Variation of a saying by… Read More »Night Visions

Random Flower Day

It feels like a good day to post random pictures of flowers. Here is a bonus image of another one of my attempts to tribute Impressionism. Specifically its emphasis on light in its changing qualities. I like it any way.

Des Moines Art

I went down to the Des Moines Art Center for the first time since maybe the 6th grade on Saturday. I met Stephanie and her friend Katie down there. I was impressed with the collection that Des Moines has and was doubly impressed that it was free. We had about… Read More »Des Moines Art

Playing in the Mud

Tonight was the night that the Jaycees planted and tended to our Flower Garden in Brookside Park. 3 of us showed up to do it. Here are some dark and grainy and poor pictures from the experience. I’ll most likely post pictures of the flowers as the year progresses or… Read More »Playing in the Mud

Mother’s Day

I hope everybody had a lovely Mother’s Day. The Mother’s Day Peony is blooming right on schedule. Here are a couple of pictures More flower pictures to come in the future.

Some Storm

I rarely discuss the weather, but that was some storm last night. I wish I had some pictures of that storm to post, but I don’t. I spent last night inside, like a coward. Rather than outdoors taking lightning pictures. Not because I am a coward, but because Crossroads just… Read More »Some Storm

New Toy

I got a new toy for the camera in the mail yesterday. I did some experimenting with it. I know some cynics out there are thinking: “Wow you bought a toy that takes blurry pictures, congratulations.” I would only respond with a smile and say, “Yes I did!”

Test Camera

A few months ago Nader gave me a camera to test for his trip to London. I put in a roll of film and took some test shots. Then I put the camera away and forgot about it. I finally finished off the roll and got it developed. I thought… Read More »Test Camera

Prettiest Present

I wrote about the ugliest Christmas present I received this year, the prettiest present I got was from Rebecca. Rebecca’s Hand Painted Bowl She even matched her painting to my 4 Flowers picture.

Year in Review?

No. I’m not ready yet to look back at 2007 or look forward to 2008. However, I did do some more photography experimentation. I won’t explain how these images were made. I’m sure it is painfully obvious.

Clearing My Head

I’ve been sick lately. Without going into too much detail, about the color and size of things that have been extracted from my body lately I will just say that I’ve never been one to let me body dictate to me my social engagements. That is unless my body just… Read More »Clearing My Head

Experiment

Tried some stuff tonight. I can’t really explain it. Except to say that these are not manipulated in Photoshop.

New Toy

In the ancient history of the family Bennett there has been one family that has stood by its side as friends. That other family is the Herricks. What I’m getting at is that Amy Herrick an old family friend (her dad and my dad were friends) is getting married very… Read More »New Toy

Flood

Before I went to the gun show on Saturday I went to Ledges to check out the flooding. It wasn’t the most impressive flooding I’ve ever seen, but I stopped and snapped off a few photos to mark the occasion. The pictures below are those photos.

Vacation

I am on vacation this week. I have not taken a vacation since before Christmas last year. It has become apparent in the last couple of weeks that I was in a desperate need of a vacation. I had become burned out. I was no longer looking forward to coming… Read More »Vacation
