01-31-08
The following images came from the folder 01-31-08: The main takeaway from this collection of photos to me is that I hope I still have a full resolution photo of the Rambo Platoon somewhere. RAMBO is a horrible movie, but that was a great night! The quarter picture was from… Read More »01-31-08

Sit tight. This is a long one! Working on the old backlog. These pictures were taken on Christmas Eve last year: Some of these pictures were taken at Ledges State Park. Some on the High Trestle Trail. Some of them at my chuch (Boone First United Methodist Church represent!).
Manger Things
I don’t usually explain the titles of the entries in The Artist’s Notebook, but I’m going to explain this one. Last night as I was restlessly watching a DVRed copy of THE HUNT FOR THE ZODIAC KILLER and thinking about general events of the day, I played a snap from… Read More »Manger Things
#Methodists2Houston
I wanted to start today’s entry into An Artist’s Notebook by thanking Alabama for not sending a serial pedophile to the Senate. Thank you Alabama for not sending a serial pedophile to the Senate. Thank you Alabama for not sending a serial pedophile that thinks that homosexuality should be a… Read More »#Methodists2Houston
You Ain’t Ever Been on My Level, I Gotta Part ‘Em Out the Way
On Monday the world wasn’t ready for these WATER images. Not sure the world is ready for them yet. I can’t hold them back any longer: All of these pictures were taken near the Des Moines River in Ledges State Park. Before I allow you to go, I also need… Read More »You Ain’t Ever Been on My Level, I Gotta Part ‘Em Out the Way

I Ain’t No Hogback Girl!
As me and my friendly neighborhood robocopy scripts make it through the back log, I’ve come across some images from the day I went down to Winterset after some young hooligans burned down one of the famous (or infamous depending on how you feel about “literature”) covered bridges of Madison… Read More »I Ain’t No Hogback Girl!
01-28-08
The following are pictures that were in the folder 01-28-08: All these pictures were taken at the first Ames Jaycees activity I ever participated in. It was called Super Shooters, which was some kind of basketball skills competition. Like 4 kids showed up for it. If you are a person… Read More »01-28-08

Let’s Party
Don’t know that there is anything particularly special in these images from Iowa State’s Spring Game, but another notch in the back log is another notch in the back log. Plus after Iowa State’s victory over Iowa on the basketball court last night, I felt like an Iowa State sports… Read More »Let’s Party

Maybe Christmas Doesn’t Come from a Store
Last Thursday was the Christmas Lighted Parade in Boone. My church started (hopefully) a new tradition by entering a float in the parade. I went down to the parade with the thought of photographing it, but in the end, I ended up on the church float. Here are a few… Read More »Maybe Christmas Doesn’t Come from a Store
Strap a Grenade to my Head, Pull Out the Pin, My Photography is Mind Blowing, Ain’t Nobody Do It Like I Do It
The world wasn’t ready for these PORTRAIT images on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer: Most of these PORTRAITs were taken around the computer mine. Some were taken during communion at my church. Others were taken in… Read More »Strap a Grenade to my Head, Pull Out the Pin, My Photography is Mind Blowing, Ain’t Nobody Do It Like I Do It
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 116 – PORTRAIT
The theme PORTRAIT was the least popular theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE in years. A bit surprising because usually I get quite a selection of pictures of children and grandchildren. A little disturbing to me that children have fallen so out of favor with this group of people. But… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 116 – PORTRAIT

Here are my favorites from THE SELFIE PROJECT from the month of November: November… Read More »Selfie Project – November
01-18-08
The images from the folder 01-18-08 are proof that my reputation for hating cats is often overblown. The fat cat is Fat Jake. The other cat is Toby. I don’t wish to speak ill of the deceased, so that is all I can write about him in conscience. But okay,… Read More »01-18-08

The Horse and the Sparrow
The balance of the photos from the Women’s March from back in January: I’m already looking forward to the march in 2018. And Happy Michael Flynn Day to you!
We in the Sh!t Now, Somebody Gotta Shovel It!
As I continue to hammer away at my backlog, the photos I took during the Women’s March in January seem apropos for this time in our history. The #MeToo movement has really made some progress in this country lately. They have managed to out and take down several members of… Read More »We in the Sh!t Now, Somebody Gotta Shovel It!
