I’ve been playing with the idea of finally coming out with Series #2 of the Photography 139 Postcard Line lately. Even though, I still have plenty of Series #1 in stock. Although the daisy postcard is nearly sold out. Another bugaboo is that the retail outlet where I was selling… Read More »Proof of Concept

Plenty of deer photos populated the 04-23-07 folder. Next Saturday’s folder has lots of tulips!
Here are a collection of pathetic losers that didn’t make the snuff for my submission for the FLOWER theme of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: I’m glad we had this time together to bully and mock these photos.
A few weeks back when Bethany and Nora were back for a wedding, we had a little impromptu photo shoot in Shorty’s living room. This is one of my favorite photos from that photo shoot: There might be a few more of these that I’ll publish at some point. PARTICULARS… Read More »Impromptu

Looks like all the photos from the folder 04-21-07 are from a trip to a park in north Ames. The next folder has lots of deer in it. Again.
I thought now would be a good time to take another look at a filter from the Nik Plugin Collection. This time, we will look at the default filters in the Silver Efex Pro 2 collection. There are 38 of them, so I’ll split this into 2 posts. The Silver… Read More »Silver Efex Pro 2 Volume 1
I had a few other SMOKE losers from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE that I think are at least worth sharing. This wasn’t the best smelling theme. I’ll tell you what.
Yep. Another lily. I’ve got a ton of them! That just counts the lily pictures from my own yard.

Last weekend I took a trip up to Minnesota with Jesse and Nader to visit Bethany, Dae Hee, Nora, Sarah, and Shawn. Most of the pictures are on my phone, which I won’t publish, but they are on Instagram if you are interested. I did take a few pictures at… Read More »The Twins vs. The Indigenous Persons of Cleveland
I was worried that this wouldn’t be a very popular theme, but it actually has garnered quite the response. How exciting! Looks like this theme will make the cut for next year’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. If you want to have your voice heard about next year’s themes, I’d advise you… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 44 – SMOKE
Mostly deer in the folder 04-20-07. Next week’s folder looks to be goose heavy, but if you play your cards right, there might be some turtles!
I recently took a Saturday afternoon and rode the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad with Shorty. Here is one of the photos I took on this trip: This picture was made possible by having long arms and tremendous faith in my hands.

You might not know this about me, but I enjoy spending time in ditches looking for something to photograph. I recently found this flower in a ditch. It is actually hard for me to drive in the country this time of year because the ditches are so beautiful with green… Read More »Ditches Please!
The remainder of my Mission Trip photos. Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of much of the remaining week. Jay painting the floor corner. Elizabeth and Megan painting the floor. On Tuesday, The Family House seemed to peter out of jobs for us to do. Late in the afternoon they brought… Read More »Milwaukee Mission Trip Vol. 2
I thought I was going to write a really long breakdown of my trip to Milwaukee with my church’s youth group for Mission Work. Instead, I think I’ll settle for a description with each photo. Maybe I’ll be more ambitious with Volume 2. Halfway between Madison and Milwaukee, we found… Read More »Milwaukee Mission Trip Vol. 1
Participation took a little bit of hit this week. I’m sure it probably had to do a bit with the fact that there are only 2 times a day somebody could take a picture for this theme. If they were taking the theme literally. Or maybe something else caused a… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 43 – SUNRISE/SUNSET
