This is final collection of pictures of College GameDay in Ames. It includes pictures of douche country “celebrity” Eric Church. There are also a couple pictures from the Iowa State-Iowa game.

One thing I can tell you about being at College GameDay is that it is almost impossible to actually watch the show when you are there. Lee, Kirk, Rece, and Desmond have their back to the crowd and there is so much equipment around them that you can’t really see… Read More »College Ames Day Part II
I was able to make it to College Game Day on Saturday morning. I left my car at Jen and Derrick’s and Derrick dropped me off at The Jack on his way to work. The crowd was already a pretty good size by 7:45. I can say that College GameDay… Read More »College Ames Day – Part I
I really wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make it to College Ames Day, so the Friday night before I went over to at least check out the set. At the time I was walking around the set, ESPN had yet to announce who was going to… Read More »College Ames Day Eve

On Saturday, the Iowa State Cyclones opened their season by thrashing an upstart team from Cedar Falls. The referees tried valiantly to keep the Purple Hawks in the game by awarding them 2 touchdowns they didn’t earn. The first was an incomplete pass that UNI “recovered” and returned for a… Read More »Iowa State 29 Northern Iowa 26
There aren’t many pictures in the folder 2009-04-11, so I’m publishing photos from the folder 2009-04-20. The pictures from the folder 2009-04-11 are from when Derrick and Jen moved into their new house. They moved about a month after I moved. They have since moved again. I have not. They… Read More »2009-04-11 & 2009-04-20

It has been awhile since we checked in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. I figured today was as good of a day as any to check out March before April is over. I’m not sure I did more interesting things in March than I did in February or January where it… Read More »Selfie Project – March
6 days ago another college basketball season sadly came to an end. While it was one of the most exciting tournaments in history, it was bittersweet as the Cyclones were eliminated in the 1st Round. Now anybody that watched Iowa State’s mercurial season knew that there was a good chance… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 15 Final Results
Sometime in late 2008 my organizational process of my photos went all FUBAR. The result is that it appears that I have actually lost several images from late 2008 and early 2009. None of the lost pictures are of much consequence, but it is annoying nonetheless. Part of this breakdown… Read More »12December2008
The pictures from the folder 11-15-08 are from the final home game in Iowa State’s Gene Chizik era. I can still remember the afternoon I head that Chizik was leaving for Auburn.

We gave her a hug. Loaded back up in the rental and left Waco profoundly changed in a way that is hard to figure. My best guess is that it would be the way you would change if you saw the Vietnam War Memorial with a veteran of the Vietnam… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Alamo Bowl
There are 2 types of pictures in the folder called 10-26-08. Some are from Iowa State’s game with Texas A&M. The second type are pictures from a Suffrage Parade re-enactment that took place in Boone in 2008. Perhaps you don’t know that Boone was (possibly) the site of the first… Read More »10-26-08
I still need to circle back to the Alamo Bowl Trip, but thought I would share more from my project of re-organizing some photos that pre-date the Photography 139 website. I’m actually going through a big photography re-organization in general. One of the photographers I follow on Instagram recently shared… Read More »Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2005
The pictures in the folder 10-19-08 are from the Iowa State-Nebraska football game in 2008. One of the head coaches in the game would go on to win a national championship. The other coach… looks like he got exiled to someplace called Youngstown, Ohio. Looking through these pictures, it does… Read More »10-19-08
