This concludes the Johnathan series. Hopefully we will get some indoor photos taken in the near future.
The best part of these pictures is that around the time we started on this set of pictures, Johnathan said, “Hey mom, you are standing on a snake.” Carla looked down. She was indeed standing a living, breathing snake. She slightly overreacted. Poor thing. At least it wasn’t hurt. >… Read More »Johnathan – Day 1 Part D
Some pictures from Johnathan’s Senior Pictures Day 1 photo shoot. I didn’t exactly select pictures that I thought were great Senior Pictures, but pictures that I liked. Day 1 was productive and I look forward to Day 2.

I’ve covered the story of the Beaverdale Night Fever shirts, so it is time to post the pictures that Derrick took at Sara’s birthday party. It was exciting to meet Clint Eastwood at Sara’s party. I thought meeting Anirban was going to be the highlight.
Rarely when I publish pictures do I explain the thought process, the technical information or the inspiration. If somebody is confused by a picture or intrigued by a picture I want them to come to their own conclusions. I feel by telling people too much about a picture, it cheapens… Read More »Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name
I am officially signed up to “do” the Susan G. Komen Des Moines Race for the Cure 5K breast cancer thing on October 24. By “do”, I assume that means walking the 5 kilometers. Although it is a goal of mine to run a 5K, I am not quite ready… Read More »16,896 Feet
I don’t really believe in the Greatest Hits album concept. So it will seem somewhat hypocritical for me to reach back into the archives and re-post what I consider to be a classic of my past. But there is a reason for it, other than that I love the sound… Read More »Why Would He Post This?

A few years back I lost the Howard family portrait account. This year, I got it back. Here are some images from the Howard Family Portrait Photo Shoot. I think I might be caught up on all my photo editing. It might just be story time again.
Admittedly, this is a series of very similar pictures, but I hope to convey the excitement and pageantry of the Des Moines Regatta. I went down there on Saturday to watch Jen compete with Derrick and sara. Some of these photos were taken by Sara who redeemed herself after last… Read More »Des Moines Regatta
