Feel Like Whistling
“If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.” — Audra Foveo On Monday I took my first flower pictures of the year! Huzzah! I’m sure there are plenty more pictures of flowers… Read More »Feel Like Whistling
Piebald
Another post hitting up the 2019 backlog. This post is a collection of a few different photo outings, but perhaps none of them had enough pictures to have their own post. Some pictures are flowers from my Grandma’s house. Then there are some pictures from the Youth Group Pool Party.… Read More »Piebald
Multifarious
Hitting up the 2019 backlog with a collection of pictures I took on the same day as when I took Taylan’s Senior pictures. Some are of flowers. Some are of Naima. Some are of Logan and Mom leaving one of the worst restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. Still a long… Read More »Multifarious
Fly Iowa Takes Manhattan
Time for the 8th thrilling chapter of pictures from Fly Iowa. Here is one lesson want to give everybody from these pictures. Clean your sensor. Particularly if you are going to be taking, say 1200 pictures, with most of them against a blue background. Dust spots really show up against… Read More »Fly Iowa Takes Manhattan

Wow! 26 straight weeks of double digits! I’m so impressed! But you didn’t come her to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions: Andy Sharp Monica Henning Monica Henning Monica Henning Monica Henning Elizabeth Nordeen Kim Barker Dawn Krause Angie DeWaard Aaron… Read More »WPC – WEEK 237 – MUSIC
Senior Sunday – Taylan – Volume 1
Another one of the Seniors that we are featuring here on Senior Sunday is Taylan Howard. We took a collection of Taylan’s Senior Pictures back in August. Taylan will be a 2020 graduate of Boone High School. Here are a few of my favorite Taylan pictures from that day: There… Read More »Senior Sunday – Taylan – Volume 1
2009-09-27
The pictures from the folder 2009-09-27 come from a Saturday when I went down to Des Moines to watch Jen compete in the Des Moines Regatta and watched Iowa State beat Army in football. All the pageantry that comes with Army coming to your stadium is pretty amazing. Iowa State… Read More »2009-09-27
Youth Group Christmas Concert
5 days of work from home in the book. Here is my strange positive from the day. I get to do a lot more self care. Let me explain. I have to be at work at 7 AM. Which means if I shower in the morning I have to hit… Read More »Youth Group Christmas Concert
White Anglo Saxon Protestant
You know, I thought that the hatred that some of the men I know, the ones that suffer from toxic masculinity, have for flower pictures was borderline obscene. That was I encountered the irrational hatred of my wasp photography. They are fascinating, beautiful creatures. Learn to love them. Unless you’re… Read More »White Anglo Saxon Protestant
Fly Iowa: The New Blood
Day 4 of working from home in the books. Another positive about working from home that I’ve discovered is the extra sleep. I didn’t think I would sleep in, but it turns out, I sleep in about an extra 45 minutes. The weird part is that Naima also sleeps in… Read More »Fly Iowa: The New Blood
Pufferbilly Days – 2019
I didn’t take a ton of pictures at Pufferbilly Days last year. Probably because there wasn’t a petting zoo. Probably because I didn’t really make more than an appearance at the parade. Probably because there really wasn’t much left by the time Sunday came around. I did spend 3 days… Read More »Pufferbilly Days – 2019
I Always Credit My Enemy
Day 3 of working from home. I thought I was going to talk about how a positive of working from home was how soft my feet are becoming. But I’ll cover that at a later date. Today’s positive about working from home is that Naima has actually started to hang… Read More »I Always Credit My Enemy
Growing, Then Giving Up
This collection of flower pictures are from August. They are mostly taken in my backyard, but a few of them are from my Mom’s flowerbeds. I in particular, like the supermacro sunflower picture, but I’m sure it’s somewhat impressionist feel will turn some people off. But to those people, I… Read More »Growing, Then Giving Up
Fly Iowa Lives
Day 2 of working from home is in the books. The positive I learned about working from home today is that the bathroom is only about 10 feet away from my work from home desk. It is always open. At the mine, I don’t know if people’s bowel movements sync… Read More »Fly Iowa Lives
The Gambler, He Broke Even
Kenny Rogers passed away on Saturday. Celebrity deaths don’t usually have much effect on me. However, I was deeply saddened by the passing of Kenny Rogers. Kenny Rogers is my Mom’s favorite and therefore is one of my favorite country singers. I can’t stomach modern country, but I have more… Read More »The Gambler, He Broke Even
WPC – WEEK 236 – ENTERTAINMENT
This is Day 1 of me working from home for the next couple of weeks. So far, so good. I haven’t been crushed with the loneliness of isolation, yet. However, I also have been chatting quite a bit with people. So maybe it will set in this afternoon. One bonus… Read More »WPC – WEEK 236 – ENTERTAINMENT
Senior Sunday – Autumn – Volume 1
I’m going to dedicate the next several Sundays to the Senior Pictures I took for the Class of 2020. The first set of pictures are of Autumn Sharp. We took a collection of pictures of her on a farm near Gilbert: Plenty more Senior Sundays on the docket!
2009-09-24
The pictures in the folder 2009-09-24 are from the annual Howard Family Photo Shoot in 2009. Sometimes I look at old photos and think about how much I have improved as a photographer, but I think the area I’ve grown the most as a photographer is as a family photographer.… Read More »2009-09-24
I Don’t Know Why You’re Mean to Me
I took Thursday and Friday off this week to watch basketball. Obviously there is no basketball right now. There is no basketball for at least a month and there is no NCAA Tournament this year at all. I wasn’t sure if I was going to still take these two days… Read More »I Don’t Know Why You’re Mean to Me
Fly Iowa: A New Beginning
I should start today by wising my Aunt Linda a happy birthday! Recently I shared a collection of pictures I took of the old Boone Dump sliding into McHose Park. Aunt Linda sent me a story that I thought I would share, so you would know what kind of people… Read More »Fly Iowa: A New Beginning
