Jesse Goes to Honduras
Looks like I’ve fallen a might behind. I’m in the process of helping Jesse put together a slideshow of pictures from Honduras. He has told me many a tale from his mission trip, but my favorite will always be about how he earned the credentials to be a first ballot… Read More »Jesse Goes to Honduras
Night Visions
I assume everybody else does the same thing when they can not sleep at night. There are times when I look at flowers that I am reminded of the following quote: God loved the flowers and invented soil. Man loved the flowers and invented vases. -Variation of a saying by… Read More »Night Visions
Independence Day
It was a busy 4th of July. I started the day at about 9 AM by moving mortars into place. Then at 10:30 I went over to Half Shell to help set up and serve beer until about 3 PM. Check out some pictures from Half Shell. Shannon and Matthew… Read More »Independence Day
Obfuscate
Saturday was my annual lunch with Mark at The Machine Shed. It seems that it is also becoming a tradition that we get an out of focus picture of us taken together. However, I think it is becoming a trend. Take a look at other pictures I’ve had taken with… Read More »Obfuscate
Grand Finale
Somebody posted a video on YouTube of the Grand Finale of the Ames Jaycees Fireworks Show. I thought I would throw it up over here in case you missed the Grand Finale because your boyfriend was distracting you by proposing to you. Of course I have to give the disclaimer.… Read More »Grand Finale
The Other Art Festival
Last year I went to the Des Moines Arts Festival downtown. I can’t say there was a single thing that impressed me. Only things that left an impression on me. The biggest impression that I left with was the thought, “Wow, no need to go to this thing again.” What… Read More »The Other Art Festival
Enigmatic
So I went on a small cruise around Boone County with Becky on Monday night. Here are a few images from that experience. What I learned about Becky from this trip is that there is a strange inconsistency in a person that claims that Halloween is their favorite holiday, but… Read More »Enigmatic
2nd Shooter
I did some 2nd shooter action at a wedding for Todd and Peggy on Sunday. I shot this in RAW and it has taken me quite some time to bother getting this converted to JPG. So this post is much less ambitious than I hoped. I still haven’t converted much.… Read More »2nd Shooter
Work Half Done
“Half the work that is done in this world is to make things appear what they are not.” -E.R. Beadle
Box Brothers
Ames on the Half Shell was rain shortened on Friday night. At least we got in about half of the concert. I only had to go on stage to make a brief speech about our sponsors when it started to rain. I didn’t get a chance to announce last call… Read More »Box Brothers
The Right Color Tractor
I believe an important part of being an Iowan is having an opinion on what is the “right color tractor”. I don’t wish to get into this debate. I bring this point up because on Tuesday morning Lowell and I served breakfast with the Meth Men (as Lowell and I… Read More »The Right Color Tractor
Tenderloin Quest: The Beginning
Monday night, Scottie D. and I hit the open road on our first foray out into the backwaters of Iowa to find the best tenderloin in the state. We had a little pre-season hiccup out to the Lake Shore Cafe, but now it was time to get serious. Last year… Read More »Tenderloin Quest: The Beginning
Sunday
I managed to make it through this Sunday’s Sermon/Interview. I don’t think that I embarrassed myself too much and I think at least a few people were touched or were able to relate to my message. I don’t want to re-hash the experience, but I would like to thank Jesse,… Read More »Sunday
Vivace
Friday was another successful night at Ames on the Half Shell. Well over 400 people came out to see Vivace. I worked admissions and checked IDs, so I didn’t take as many photos as normal. Below is a sampling: Little White Lye Soap Promotional Cup (changes colors) Of course there… Read More »Vivace
Donations Requested
I understand that most people will be donating stuff to help out Iowans, but say you don’t like Iowans all that much, I have an alternative for you. That alternative starts with a geography lesson. This is Honduras These are Hondurans Jesse is going to Honduras to do some mission… Read More »Donations Requested
Royals Win!
On Tuesday Night, Elainie’s Little League team won their league championship. Below are a few photos. The game was at night, so there is some digital noise and blurring caused by slow shutter speeds, but you’ll get the general idea. Elainie made the All-Star Team, so I might have to… Read More »Royals Win!
