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 in October. In this task she performed admirably. I also helped her buy a new camera. So I have no doubt that she will be able to contribute a picture to RWPE sometime in the near future.
Perhaps the Random Weekly Photo Experiment has begun to run its course. There were zero submissions this week. I guess it will just have to soldier on for the last 17 weeks. Here is the lone picture for VIEWPOINT.
The Random Generator has generated the theme for this week. I put it before you:
There is light in every picture, but for this theme, you want to be very conscious of where the light is coming from to light your subject. Whether it is to the side of your subject. Below your subject. Above your subject. The placement of the light should effect what the picture looks like. Good luck. Hopefully there will be some submissions next week.
A late submission from Mike Vest:
f-stop: f/5.6
Exposure: 269 seconds
ISO: 200
I have been scanning slides for the last 11 weeks. This week I’ve switched over to prints, so I’m guessing you will note a notable improvement in the quality of the scans.
I had a submission for last week’s theme from Becky Perkovich, but during some computer swapping it has been temporarily lost, but I’ll post it as soon as I am able to locate it. Here are the other submissions for FOOD:
Christopher D. Bennett

Julie Johnson
Dawn’s Poem of the Week
Food For Thought
Rich and creamy French silk pie
Makes me glisten with devilish eye
Perhaps an apple for my health
Wise choice yes, but not for wealth
Maybe celery to trim me down
Without peanut butter makes me frown
Popcorn then my snack shall be
But alas, none on the shelf I see
Crackers then will be my way
Hope they last me through the day…
The Random Generator has spoken and the theme for this week is:
So get off of your feet or get up high. Look at something from a different perspective than you normally see things. I’ll be excited to see the submissions.
Only 2(3) more parts of this project to go. Here are the links to review the first 3 parts of the project:
Here are a few more images from the 4/6 Photo Shoot:
Part 5 of this project will be shot in early September and Part 6 will take sometime in October. I’m very excited about Part 6!
Here are a few more pictures of my trip to the State Fair.
Last year I had only 1 goal and that was to see The Blue Band. Instead of getting to see The Blue Band I was nearly killed on a midway ride and spent the rest of the night trying not to vomit up my innards. This year I was able to see The Blue Band.
Nader’s First Turkey Leg
A Happy State Fair Memory
The DNR Building – One of my favorite buildings.
I would consider putting a pond in my yard, just so I could have water lilies.
Nader wanted his picture taken with the Story County flag.

Dawn’s Poetry Submission:
A Thought on Silence
Not every moment needs to be filled
Solid connection we quietly buildNo words need expressed
Nothing needs addressedContent calm fills the air
In it I hear you care
The Random Generator has been kicked on and it has kicked out a tasty theme for this week:
It is a shame that this theme didn’t get generated during the State Fair, but I still think there should be plenty of submissions. After all, everybody eats and almost everybody owns a camera. Or even a camera phone.
