2006

5 Comments

Looking back at my records, as near as I can tell, the first year I made a calendar for was 2001. That means this years calendar is the sixteenth calendar I have produced.

I don’t have templates or know what was on the calendar before 2005.

However, I thought it would be a fun little exercise to look back at the calendars from the last 10 years. Starting with the 2006 Calendar:

There were requests this year that the calendar to include a wider swath of my work besides just photos. Apparently, more than just Russell hate my flower photography. I took this under consideration, but it just didn’t work out this year. However, the 2017 Calendar will consist of more than just flower pictures.

It seems like a good time to return to the Iowa State Fair flower garden.


This also isn’t the picture that got me kicked out of the flower garden, but that one is coming up soon. I swear.

I didn’t take any form of tripod on this trip to the State Fair, so I had to shoot pretty wide open.

So one gets this…


I think it was around this time that I thought about doing the thing that would ultimately get me in trouble, but I didn’t do it for quite a bit longer.

Obviously I couldn’t wait too long without publishing a flower photo.

This is a picture of a flower that was entered into the flower competition at the Iowa State Fair.

Flower competitions remind me of an old quote:

God loved the flowers and invented soil. Man loved the flowers and invented vases.
