The 9 Emotions Project Wall is no more. The 9 16×20 photos are gone. Technically they are stacked in the guest bedroom until I figure out what I’m going to do them. I’ve replaced them with 9 16×20 canvases to diversify the pictures on my wall and I have this… Read More »The Canvas Wall
Last Saturday it was my great pleasure to attend the Women’s March in Des Moines with Jen, Sara, Shawn, Evie, Layla, Gretchen and 27,000 other people. I believe this to my favorite picture from the day. But I’m only getting the editing process going. I don’t get very political on… Read More »You Might as Well Question Why We Breathe
These are the images that didn’t make this week’s cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – HAPPY: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
Not a ton of submissions for HAPPY this week. This makes me sad, how little happiness was out there this week. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about happiness. You want to see the submissions for HAPPY! Suzie Brannen Kim Barker Stephanie Kim Angie DeWaard… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 71 – HAPPY
The pictures in the folder called 06-24-07 were from a road trip I went on with Jay. Next week’s folder is hard to explain, so I won’t even try.

Last night at Youth Group, as we were finishing up our re-writing of the Ten Commandments we had a special guest. Teresa brought her new pooch Mocha for the kids to play with and to illustrate a point about coveting. Here are a few pictures from last night: Most of… Read More »Special Guest
Most of these pictures were taken at The Sharps house during a pool party. The last picture is obviously at my house. When Naima said goodbye to Shawn. I’m sure their paths will cross again.
Here are the ART images that didn’t make the cut for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
A slight post holiday uptick this week. Rumor has it next week we will get the New York Voice back in the fold. Woot! Woot! As the kids say. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You want to see the submissions. Here… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 70 – ART
Lots of flowers and killdeer in the folder called 06-23-07. Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve a road trip.
More daisy photos I took at the end of May, plus a few other flowers: I think that might be the end of the daisy backlog, but there are lots of folders to go through still.
Another picture from my foggy Christmas Eve morning travels. Tragically, a few days after I took this picture, a gentleman fell to his death from this same spot.

So here is more backlog of some daisy pictures I took back in May: One poppy picture thrown in for good measure!
So I tried and failed at a Selfie Project in 2016. I’m trying again in 2017. Last year I took the pictures with Blue Boy. Who you may remember is my Canon point & shoot. This year I’m going to take the pictures with the front facing camera on my… Read More »Selfie Project of 2017
MIRROR. Not an easy theme. But a few hearty souls got out there and took some photos. This week’s theme is quite a bit easier. Hopefully we’ll have a big wave of submissions. But you don’t want to hear me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You want to see… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 69 – MIRROR
The substructure of folder 06-23-07 is a little weird. I don’t remember what I was trying to do. But here are pictures from some of the subfolders: Not sure what is in next week’s folder. But I’ll figure it out.
Here are a couple of daisy pictures I took back in May, but never published. They might be a bit of an acquired taste. Something about them just feels like maybe these pictures were lifted from a snuff film. Maybe that is just me. So much more backlog to clean… Read More »Backlog Cleanout – Daisy Vol. 1
This is a cleanout of images from the end of May. A few of these images are from Brookside Park as well.
Since Christmas Eve was on a Saturday this year, I had the whole day off. It was a revelation! I might just start taking all Christmas Eve mornings off in the future. I considered it a good time to reconnect with my camera. We’ve been as disconnected lately as if… Read More »Foggy Christmas Eve Morn
