Part of the front of the Boone County Museum recently fell off. Took a few pictures just to document what could have been a tragedy. I recently attend a funeral of a church friend. One of the people that spoke about him at the funeral said that on the day… Read More »Facade
EMOTIONS was a profoundly unpopular theme. I’m sure destined to hit the cutting room floor if this challenge extends into a second year. Maybe it was the holiday weekend. Maybe people were like feelings? Actually feeling something? No thanks! Back to my mass consumerism, thank you very much*. Either way,… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 37 – EMOTIONS

I actually have been pretty lax about photographing flowers this year. That is partially because the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar will go in a new direction. Partially because I haven’t even planted flowers in my yard this year. Partially because my daffodils didn’t bloom this year. Partially because I missed… Read More »For Russell

It looks like LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS also wasn’t an extremely popular theme. Might have to put it on the chopping block if this little project continues into a second year. I guess we’ll see. On the positive though, it was extremely popular with first time submitter Sara Lockner. Hopefully this… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 36 – LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS
I realize I never posted the MANOS pictures that were used in the Birthday Party FAQ or in the actual invitation. I also forgot to thank Derrick earlier for being the fire starter during the party. The MANOS images: I’ll be retiring the THE MASTER costume to a wall in… Read More »The Final Manos

“You look like you could be from Kansas.” After seeing the remains of this truck and its license plate, I legitimately think that might be a legit pickup line. Now that I’m through the party, I’ll try to get caught back up with my postings. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO:… Read More »Hey Baby…

I would explain to you what is going on in this series of pictures from the folder 03-11-07, but you wouldn’t believe me. I’ll probably combine a bunch of folders for next Saturday’s walk down memory lane, but I bet there will be a picture of a Gra Lab timer… Read More »03-11-07
I might have processed this image to within an inch of its life. However, it turned out pretty much exactly as I wanted it so. Everybody wins! It feels like I should show you what the original image looked like. But I’m not going to. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO:… Read More »Feeling Kansas
The subject of this here entry is what I’m guessing most people will think or even feel when they look at the photo that makes up the entirety of this here entry. Possible exception, Anders Runestad. At least I enjoy it. Possibly Anders as well. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO:… Read More »And?

The collection of COUNTRY losers from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE isn’t large in size, but the magnitude of their loserness… I’m actually all caught up on my losers now.
