Fun with Light
A few weeks ago after FNSC, Dawn and Jay assisted me with my RWPE. Here are a few of the other pictures from that photo session: The poor rope light did not survive the night.

Cheaper than Therapy I co-hosted a Baby Shower for Baby G. with Sara a couple months back. Sara wanted a photobooth for the shower, so I made a makeshift one in her garage. It worked well enough and we were able to use the pictures in a book of baby… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #37
Ain’t Distributed Right Nader made this selection over Mongolian one night before we saw The Expendables. This picture had my favorite judge’s comment on it. “Nice try.” Hilarious! Nader also consider this picture over a bowl of noodles. 5 of 6 selectors have been selected for next year’s Pufferbilly Days… Read More »Nader Parsaei
Willy picked his picture over a hunk of salmon at The Colorado Grill during FNSC. Trouble Willy also thoughtfully considered this photo of Derrick. The reason I enter photo contests is that enjoy watching other people look at my pictures. I know that is slightly voyeuristic, but I can deal… Read More »William McAlpine
Looks like Shannon and Angie did find RWPE addictive. They submitted again for last week’s theme FACE. However, submissions were kind of light this week. Perhaps not as many people know people with faces as I would have suspected. Here are the submissions for FACE: Mike Vest Angie DeWaard Christopher… Read More »RWPE #38 – Face
5/6 Even though this picture was taken only a couple of weeks ago, it some how feels dated. Here are a few alternates from the 5/6 Photo Session: I also took a couple of pictures that are kind of a dry run for a future Personal Photo Project. > Looking… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #36
I found a few prints tucked away in the box of slides, so I thought I would get them scanned before putting that box of slides away. I believe this picture was taken by Lowell’s grandpa Byron Davis Sr.
Jay had a million questions about the process before he picked (which was a little strange since he had picked in the past), but once he was on the clock he said it was a tough decision because there were “so many good pictures”. But he arrived at his decision… Read More »Jay Janson
I think Jason Baier was one of the quickest to choose. He was very assertive when he chose the picture below: Open Mic Night I manipulated this picture with Photoshop quite a bit more than I normally manipulate pictures, but I’m at peace with it.
I’m very excited to announce that there were 3 brand new first time contributors. Shannon Bardole, Angie Dewaard and Geri Derner all contributed photos for the first time ever. Hopefully they will find it addictive and become regular contributors. Here are this week’s submissions for HOPE: Mike Vest Geri Derner… Read More »RWPE #37 – Hope
Ain’t Distributed Right The Ain’t Distributed Right photos were taken between Boone and Ames. I don’t know another subject that cooperates with me less than lightning. Turtles might be close, but lightning always seems to disappear when I get ready to photograph it.
Never the Same River Andree also considered these other two pictures: Andree followed his “I pick so and so” paragraph with a lengthy dissertation on MegaShark vs. Giant Octopus. Can you guess why we are friends?
I think most of you know that I have strange ways of picking pictures for photo contests. I think the most interesting way is how I “pick” the pictures for the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. In fact, I don’t pick the pictures at all. I have 6 individuals each pick… Read More »Jesse Howard

Never the Same River These pictures were taken on a floody night back in June after Sara and I ate at a Lebanese restaurant nearby. I need to thank her for her assistance on this night even though I definitely burned out all of her patience… and then some. I… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #34
Fewer pictures this week and next week it will be back to slides.
Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 after a number of Americans were murdered by the military during the Pullman Strike. After the massacre, President Grover Cleveland made reconciliation with unions a top political priority. Making Labor Day a national holiday was his form of reconciliation. I celebrated Grover… Read More »CLU’s Holiday
On Sunday I got together with Shannon to take pictures of her new haircut. Lots of these pictures don’t show off the new do, but they were taken at the same time. Shannon also did some turtle wrangling for me on a Personal Photo Project that will be published sometime… Read More »Coiffure
