On Sunday I completed another successful month of THE SELFIE PROJECT. One thing that always happens when I look back at a month’s worth of pictures I’m always surprised at some of the things that all happened in the same month. That? That happened this month? I thought that was… Read More »Selfie Project – October
On Tuesday night Layla wanted to go to a 4-H Photo Scavenger Hunt on the Iowa State Campus, but both her parents were indisposed. They asked me to take her and since 4-H photography runs through the blood of this family (both my sisters were accomplished 4-H photographers) I agreed… Read More »4-H Photo Scavenger Hunt
DREAM JOB wasn’t an extremely popular theme. I guess people just have forgotten how to dream. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions: Elizabeth Nordeen Tamara Peterson Bill Wentworth Christopher D. Bennett Shannon Bardole-Foley Micky Augustin… Read More »WPC – WEEK 315 – DREAM JOB
Here are some pictures from yesterday: It was a disappointing effort by the Iowa State offense, but if they can right the ship, all their season goals are still on the table.
I didn’t take many pictures in the month of December in 2010, so I decided to just do the entire month and combine all the folders into one mega sized post. There are pictures in here from a family portrait fundraiser (that was not a huge success) for the youth… Read More »12December2010
On Tuesday when I opened up the Twitters looking for any new Iowa State or Big 12 expansion news, I saw this post from Nick Bassett that made me smile so big: For those of you that don’t follow sports, College GameDay is a pregame show on ESPN on Saturday… Read More »Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town
I did take my camera in for Iowa State’s embarrassing, pathetic performance/victory against UNI yesterday. There is a limit of 6 inches on the length of lenses that you are allowed to bring in, so the lens I brought in was definitely a wide angle lens, sorta. You don’t want… Read More »#7 Iowa State Cyclones 16 Northern Iowa Panthers 10
Most of the pictures from the folder 2010-11-22 are from when I took some pictures of the Baiers around Iowa State’s beautiful campus.

On the last day of the Iowa State Fair, Jesse and I went down there and spent several hours down there before picking up my pictures from the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon. I barely made it in to the Cultural Center to get my photos because they started closing… Read More »Last Day of the Fair
The pictures in the folder 2010-11-08 are from the last time that Iowa State and Nebraska played each other in football. Nebraska, tired of being mediocre in the Big 12 and being pushed around by Texas off the field, left for the Big Ten. Their fans thought for sure that… Read More »2010-11-08
The majority of the pictures in the folder 2010-11-01 are from when the Iowa State Cyclones bested the Kansas Jayhawks on the gridiron. I believe that was like 7 Kansas football coaches ago. Back then there coach was a guy who used to coach at Buffalo. Their current coach is… Read More »2010-11-01
There were large collections of images in the folders 2010-09-20, 2010-09-21, or 2010-09-27 so I combined them into one post. These include pictures of an Iowa State-Kansas State football game, pictures taken shortly after Evie was born, and pictures of Elainie playing football. By adding these pictures to the Photography… Read More »2010-09-20, 2010-09-21, and 2010-09-27
When I went out to harvest the town signs of Carroll County and Crawford County, I did both counties in one swoop. I didn’t actually need many signs from either county, so I was about to pick up most of them going south through both counties along 141 and then… Read More »Carroll County and Crawford County Auxiliary Images
August 9, 2006. That was the date where I first took keyboard in hand and began typing out the blog that I entitled “An Artist’s Notebook”. I entitled that first post “First Journal Entry”. The categories for that first post were “Blogging”, “Contests”, “Jay”, and “Sara”. This is the first… Read More »Post #4,000
There was a very large collection of images in the folder 2010-05-24. Most of them are flower pictures. Some taken from my yard. Others taken from Reiman Gardens.

Whew! This is a big one. Just by adding these pictures to the SmugMug Gallery from the folder 2010-04-29, I was able to fix 5 “An Artist’s Notebook” posts. I believe I added pictures to 14 different photo albums. The pictures in this folder are taken from over several days… Read More »2010-04-29
The grand majority of pictures from the folder 2010-04-19 are from the Iowa State’s Spring Game in 2010. There is also one picture that was used for Week 15 of Year 1 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.

The pictures from the folder 2010-04-08 are from around the Iowa State campus. I liked to stop around there to photograph the wildlife back then. I still like doing that, maybe not now with a pandemic going on, but you get it… By adding these pictures to the Photography 139… Read More »2010-04-08

Yesterday I pointed out that Pufferbilly Days was cancelled. Yesterday the Farm Progress Show in Boone was also cancelled. This is an event that brings over 100,000 people to Boone over 3 days. Cancelling it was the right move. Here is part of their press release: For more than 65… Read More »Iowa State Walk – Beta
The pictures in the folders 2010-01-14 and 2010-01-17 include the first 2 pictures I took for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.
