In the 2018 backlog, I found another collection of pictures I took at an Iowa State women’s basketball game. I decided to post them, to make sure, all of you understand that Bridget Carleton is the GOAT. Bridge Carleton also: #1 & #5 Scoring Seasons – 760 + 594 #1… Read More »GOAT II (No Actual Goats in this Post)
Hitting up the the 2018 backlog with some pictures I took of the Iowa State-Drake women’s basketball game. I think I took these pictures for a SPORTS theme week for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. I’m glad that I did, because I got some pictures of probably the best player in… Read More »GOAT
Running just a tad bit behind schedule today. As I am on vacation and my motivation levels might not be what they normally are. Fortunately, for the 9th straight week, motivation levels were high enough that we had double digit submissions. Perhaps a record. I don’t know. I’ll have to… Read More »WPC – WEEK 219 – SHADOW
Sometimes these Saturday walks down memory lane that are part of a restoration project of old blog posts, takes a completely unexpected turn. The images in the folder 2009-07-15 contains a couple of those pictures. In there are pictures of Sara and a sparkler. Then there are pictures of lilies.… Read More »2009-07-15
Here is the final collection of images from the 2018 Howards Photo Shoot that took place at some golf course that is like 3 blocks from my house. Sorry David, your character from the Howard Family Sitcom got written off. You will not be appearing in the 2019 Howard Family… Read More »Howards 2018 – Volume 3
Some pictures from the old 2018 backlog again. These are the last pictures from the month of November to be published. Still some pictures from September and possibly pictures from October left to go. Then a handful of days in December to look at. These pictures are, yet again, pictures… Read More »What Feels Right
On Saturday, I attended the Celebration of Life for Glenn Peterson. Glenn was one of my favorite people and I’m sure most people that got the pleasure to meet Glenn also shared my admiration for him. Seeing and talking to Glenn was a bonus reason to go to church on… Read More »Glenn Peterson
PURPLE was not anywhere near as popular as ORANGE, but I don’t think that is a reflection of the color so much as the time of year. However, PURPLE did inspire enough people that we manage to hit double digits for submissions for the 8th week in a row! But… Read More »WPC – WEEK 218 – PURPLE
The pictures from the folder 2009-07-10 are all from an Ames on the Half Shell concert that featured by far my favorite artist that we ever booked. Her name was Bonne Finken and she was one of maybe 3 artists that we booked during my entire run with the Jaycees… Read More »2009-07-10
Another dip into the cool refreshing waters of the 2018 backlog. This time, a second collection of pictures from the 2018 Howard Family Shoot. Here are a few more of my favorites: There is one more batch of 2018 Howard pictures still in the hopper! Stay pumped! +++++++ This is… Read More »Howards 2018 – Volume 2
Here is another post from the 2018 backlog. These are mostly pictures of Naima. I think they might have been alternates for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme the week they were taken. I’m not entirely sure and I’m not up to that level of soul searching and research. There is… Read More »Dogface
Hitting up the 2018 backlog again. Which is closing in on being finished! These pictures are once again from Naima’s favorite hangout, Dickcissel Park. I have had a few people ask me where Dickcissel Park is because while it is near some very busy roads, it is seemingly a forgotten… Read More »Bigger than Peanut Butter
A couple Saturdays back a few of us gathered in lot G6 for the sacred ritual that is known as Taco Tailgate. It was almost an entirely different crew than what usually shows up. Houlihan. No show. Joe. No show. Rachel. No show. Who did show up? Jorge. Taco Master!… Read More »Taco Tailgate – 2019
I would be remiss if I didn’t start out this post to saying Happy Veteran’s Day. I don’t have a photo to back up these sentiment, so instead, let me remind you that veterans often struggle greatly when they leave the military. The suicide rate for veterans of 35 per… Read More »WPC – WEEK 217 – ORANGE
The pictures in the folder 2009-07-06 are from my 2009 Independence Day. I spent the day immersed in Ames Jaycees projects. The beginning of my day was spent helping with the special Independence Day Ames on the Half Shell with The Nadas. Then I finished the day helping out with… Read More »2009-07-06
In late October I went to the beautiful campus of the pre-eminent land grant university in the country to see Elizabeth Warren speak at Stephens Auditorium. She was the last of the major candidates I needed to see. Here is a little bit about Elizabeth Warren from her website: Elizabeth… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Elizabeth Warren
Now is as a good of a time as any to check in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. I’m sure I did a bunch of interesting things in the month of October, but I’ll let you be the judge of whether or not I capture that while taking my daily THE… Read More »Selfie Project – October
Last year I had the great pleasure of taking the Howard family portrait. This time, we took the photos at the Boone golf course. I’m sure it has a name, but it is lost on me. It is a couple blocks from my house, but while I am aged, I… Read More »Howards 2018 – Volume 1
I was a little worried that our 5 week double digit submission streak wouldn’t his 6 weeks with FORMAL PORTRAIT. I hadn’t received some of the normal early submissions, and I translated that into a lack of enthusiasm for the theme. However, there was a deep late arriving enthusiasm. In… Read More »WPC – WEEK 216 – FORMAL PORTRAIT
There are two sets of pictures from the folder called 2009-07-02. One is from a trip to see the Boone City Band play and ran in to Josh and his progeny Wesley. The other is a collection of pictures of Frank. I’m not entirely sure why we took the pictures… Read More »2009-07-02
Last Friday I published pictures of when I saw Pete Buttigieg speak at the Iowa State Fair. It was the best place to hear somebody speak, so I decided to see him again. A few weeks back he came to speak at the Farm Expo Grounds near Boone. It was… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Pete Buttigieg – Volume 2
