Septic Tank?

November 6, 2013 Christopher D. Bennett

It has been awhile since I’ve been contracted for what I would consider to be commercial photography, but recently I was contracted by Jim Jordan to photograph a septic tank and a couple of items he wished sell.

Unfortunately for Boone, Iowa State University, Boone County, First United Methodist Church, and the Methodist Men,(just to name a few) Jim is moving away. He will leave a cavernous hole in the community. So I begrudgingly took the pictures that will help him leave us behind to enrich a new town, church, and community.

Next week’s randomness might involve the Block Party or it might involve something else. I don’t like to be tied down to the expectations that I have set for other people.

I’ve fallen behind in posts. This sometimes happens when I get sick or I spend too much time working on other people’s projects or my motivation runs dry based on those two factors.

Bittersweet Volume 1

The Bittersweet Series is a series of 3 things I photographed on Jim Jordan’s land while I was also working on what I was contracted to photograph. The first series involves his awesome hibiscus.

The remainder of the Bittersweet Volume 1 Series:

“Next” week’s Personal Photo Project will once again involve Nashville. The one in Tennessee.

Kentucky the Vth

This is the final collection of images from my Kentucky vacation with Teresa and Logan to visit Ernie.

A critic could point out that a collection this small could have easily been incorporated into the other 4 collections of pictures, but there is a reason why nobody builds statues of critics.

The next bit of randomness could go in several directions. I mean several.

Opry

This week’s Personal Photo Project was to get a decent picture of the Grand Ole Opry Stage. This proved to be more difficult than I had expected. The other tourists had their own agendas. But in the end, I did get the picture I wanted.

The rest of the Opry Series:
