February
The picture selected for February. This picture of a fence was taken north of Boone in an old pioneer cemetery.
January
The 2009 Photography 139 Calendar went through quite a large metamorphosis this year. I wasn’t sure that I was going to produce a calendar this year. The amount of time involved in the designing, printing, laminating and binding the calendar was becoming a burden on me and my friends. I… Read More »January
Bring Back McCarney
Now that Chizik has tucked tail and ran out of Ames, it is time for Iowa State to admit to one of the two biggest mistakes they ever made and bring Dan McCarney home! A bad picture of McCarney being carried off the field by his players after his last… Read More »Bring Back McCarney
Gridiron Prophets – Year 3
As a third college football season drew to a close, a third season for the Gridiron Prophets (a College Football Pick ’em) completed. For the first time since its inception, Toby did not come out as a champion. Lowell came out on top. This year’s standings: 1. Lowell Davis (The… Read More »Gridiron Prophets – Year 3
Toys for Tots
I reported yesterday that I took pictures for the Toys for Tots press release for United Way of Story County. Here are a few of the pictures: This might have been the most fun I’ve ever had in a Wal-Mart. Toys for Tots received thousands of dollars in donation on… Read More »Toys for Tots
Burying the Lead
Sometimes I will bury the lead in an entry. Most of this time it is done on purpose because I want people to figure out what the most important part of the story is for themselves. However, I’m sure there are times where it is just another example of sloppy… Read More »Burying the Lead
Happy Birthday Jesse
Today is the day we celebrate the birth of Jesse Howard. (Partially true, we are actually celebrating his birthday on December 28, but that is another story.) Happy Birthday Jesse! Jesse enjoying a Bob Dog. (This is the actual picture of Jesse that shows up on my phone when he… Read More »Happy Birthday Jesse
Muskrat Carcass
This is just a random image. I thought you might find it interesting and you might want something interesting after the story below. On Tuesday a few of us miners went to Pizza Pit for lunch because a new employee allegedly loved chicken wings, but as it turns out, he… Read More »Muskrat Carcass
Beavers
I was offered Angie’s ticket to the Oregon State game on Saturday. I then forgot it at work. I was then offered Kelly’s ticket. I took it. I took a few photos of Hilton. As you can tell, the tickets aren’t quite as good as the football tickets. The next… Read More »Beavers
Happy Birthday Carrie
If I’m reading my calendar correctly, and there is about a 50% chance that I am, today is the birthday of Carrie Baier. In truth, to tribute Carrie I should post a picture of a lighthouse, but I don’t have such a picture in my arsenal. I should look into… Read More »Happy Birthday Carrie
Plus Five
About a year ago I posted a comment on Shannon’s MySpace page where I was apologizing in advance for what Iowa State was going to do to her UNI Panthers IF Wesley Johnson played in the game. Wesley Johnson did indeed play in the game and he played well, but… Read More »Plus Five
Roland, Iowa
Monica contacted me a month or so back about coming to Roland to take pictures of couples for the Roland American Legion Auxiliary during their annual Christmas Party. Monica is the Co-President of the Roland American Legion Auxiliary with her Aunt. The basic idea was to take pictures of couples… Read More »Roland, Iowa
House Hunt – Potential Progress
One of the four houses I saw this weekend I actually liked. In fact, it is the first house that I’ve seen that I’m going to go look at again. IMAGE LOST Living Room IMAGE LOST Technically “Master Bedroom”, but potentially an office. IMAGE LOST Kitchen IMAGE LOST Vanity in… Read More »House Hunt – Potential Progress
More House Hunt
Over the Thanksgiving weekend I looked at 4 more houses. One house didn’t have a basement, which was kind of bad, but the fact that it didn’t have any yard eliminated it. I did find a few interesting things in one house. IMAGE LOST Mirrors for closet doors? What a… Read More »More House Hunt
Thanksgiving
I started Thanksgiving by helping serve the free Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom, Teresa and Logan. I was given the extremely important duty of collecting trays. After my shift concluded I talked dogs with Karma’s former vet Jordan and his family. Even though I know when I get a dog… Read More »Thanksgiving
Happy Birthday Willy
I’ve been a bit busy in the last few days and I’ve been negligent. So I apologize. It was Willy’s birthday on the day before Thanksgiving. We took Willy out on Sunday night for dinner and then to lunch on Wednesday for his birthday. I think I won a Photo… Read More »Happy Birthday Willy
Mr. Meeting
As I look at the year that is rapidly approaching, it turns out that 2009 is going to be the Year of the Meeting. For starters, I will be the Marketing VP for the Ames Jaycees in 2009. That means two board meetings a month in addition to 2 membership… Read More »Mr. Meeting
The Turkey Trot
I have to admit that I’m kind of phoning this one in. I’m going to copy and paste and email I wrote about the Living History Farms Run on Saturday. You just need to know that there was some confusion about whether or not we would be able to watch… Read More »The Turkey Trot
The Real Real
I’ve heard a lot of my friends conversing about “real” things lately. I am not going to weigh in on what is “real” camping or “real” cheesecake. I also heard a rumor about a cribbage game that went down a little while ago. This makes me want to weigh in… Read More »The Real Real
