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
I have been absolutely horrible about working on THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT lately. This will be the first post I’ve had since December 28, when I posted pictures of Andy’s progeny competing in the ages old activity of wraslin’. I need to put my nose to the grindstone and stop… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 122
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.

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

Last Sunday there was one of nature’s greatest shows. The lunar eclipse! I decided to check it out and photograph it because there won’t be another total lunar eclipse visible in Iowa for several years.

The pictures in the folder called 08-29-08 are from the Iowa State-South Dakota State game in 2008. Unlike this year’s South Dakota State game, it didn’t get cancelled due to weather. It wouldn’t go on to cost us wins over Iowa and TCU. But that is another subject! Here are… Read More »08-29-08
If you’re not in the parade, you watch the parade. That’s life. -Mike Ditka Last Thursday was the annual lighted parade in Boone. I’m sure it has a proper name, but I don’t know what it is. As a member of the Outreach Committee, I was part of the team… Read More »That’s Life

Participation for CANDID PORTRAIT took the usual holiday drop off, but there were still a few people loyal enough to the cause that made it worth the effort. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions: Carla… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 155 – CANDID PORTRAIT
There isn’t much to the folder called 07-02-08. A few pictures from a small road trip that I took with Becky. Then some flower pictures. No reason to dilly dally. Let’s get to it: I remember being so disappointed when I saw the design of the new “High Bridge”. 10… Read More »07-02-08

This collection of Beale Street images is the last of my photos from my trip to Memphis with Jesse and Russell to watch Iowa State in the Liberty Bowl. I didn’t have overwhelming expectations for Memphis, but it ended up being one of my favorite cities I have ever visited.… Read More »Beale Street
