WPC – WEEK 265 – SELF-PORTRAIT
I need to start by wishing everybody a happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I don’t have a picture to represent this holiday, but I do have a suggestion on a way to celebrate it. I suggest listening to THIS LAND podcast by Crooked Media. It is pretty incredible and infuriating and… Read More »WPC – WEEK 265 – SELF-PORTRAIT
Rodan139: Three Bridges
A couple Saturdays ago I had a couple of less successful drone flights with Rodan139 than I was hoping for. One was my messup with a battery charging situation that I mismanaged. The other one I cut short because of tourists. Ugh! Tourists! Have a look at what I did… Read More »Rodan139: Three Bridges
2010-04-19
The grand majority of pictures from the folder 2010-04-19 are from the Iowa State’s Spring Game in 2010. There is also one picture that was used for Week 15 of Year 1 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. The theme was LONG EXPOSURE. Looking through these pictures really made me miss… Read More »2010-04-19
Maybe I’m a Man and Maybe I’m a Lonely Man
I need to start today by wishing Shawn a happy birthday. Happy birthday Shawn! I hope your birthday is as wonderful as you want it to be! +++++++ I do love pictures of SIGNS. My sister-in-law Laura once told me that this makes me a hipster. She is wrong about… Read More »Maybe I’m a Man and Maybe I’m a Lonely Man
Painted Without Instruction – 2020 – Beta
Today I want to share the balance of the images from the sunflower field at Badger Creek Recreation Area near Van Meter. I’ll definitely have to try to get back there next year. Could be an annual trip. Like my trips to State Center and Pella. At least they are… Read More »Painted Without Instruction – 2020 – Beta
Cervus Canadensis
On the second day of my vacation I went down to Walnut Woods in Des Moines to knock off a State Park I haven’t been to. But on the way there, I stopped at Jester Park, which is better than a ton of State Parks and not just because of… Read More »Cervus Canadensis
Who You Are to Me
Here is a collection of flower pictures I took with a flash ring back in late July. Lilies. Hollyhocks. Moonflowers. Oh my! I think I’ve finally started to put a dent into all the flower pictures I’ve taken during the pandemic. Maybe not a big dent, but you can definitely… Read More »Who You Are to Me
WPC – WEEK 264 – SIGNS
Sorry that this is several minutes late today. I went to cast my ballot for the 2020 election during my lunch break from the mine: A reminder that if you live in Iowa, early voting starts today! It might be easier and safer than voting on November 3. But you… Read More »WPC – WEEK 264 – SIGNS
SupercalifragilisticMACROlidocious
Back in August I started experimenting with bellows to take macro images. Here is a handful (and by handful, I mean a handful if you are the man who killed Inigo Montoya’s father) of images from the fist trial run. These pictures are only the slightest cropped to remove a… Read More »SupercalifragilisticMACROlidocious

The Last Derecho
This is a collection of pictures I took a few days after the derecho struck Iowa. It is the last of damage caused by the derecho pictures that I have. I happened about 7 weeks ago, but it feels like it was forever ago. +++++++ This is your reminder that… Read More »The Last Derecho
If You’re Looking for Hope
The inspiration for today’s picture collection was beautiful flowers. The inspiration for today’s “An Artist’s Notebook” journal title is from a for King & Country song entitled “Together”. Think we are all probably looking for a little hope after the sh!tshow that was the Presidential Debate on Tuesday. This is… Read More »If You’re Looking for Hope
Rodan139: Loess Hills
One of my goals when I was on vacation was to hit 5 State Parks that I’ve never been to before. I made this goal, but not quite like I anticipated. The two parks I definitely wanted to hit were Mines of Spain and Preparation Canyon. The other 3 were… Read More »Rodan139: Loess Hills
Painted without Instruction – 2020 – Alpha
Back in late July, it was all the rage to go to the sunflower field at Badger Creek Recreation Area and post photos. So, one Saturday morning, Teresa, Mom, and I loaded up into the car and drove down there. I didn’t post any photos on social media, but I… Read More »Painted without Instruction – 2020 – Alpha
WPC – WEEK 263 – STILL LIFE
We did it fam! 52 straight weeks of double digit submissions! I can hardly believe it. That means it shouldn’t be an issue to continue to get great participation rates as we slowly move into the colder and colder temperatures in the coming months. Don’t forget to get your flu… Read More »WPC – WEEK 263 – STILL LIFE
No Impossible with You
This is a collection of flower pictures I took in late July. Most with a flash ring. The ones that aren’t were taken at Jester Park. Just a reminder that moonflowers are my favorite flowers.

The pictures in the folder 2010-04-08 are from a photo shoot for my 2010 Birthday Party invitation. The theme for the invitation was “Done Got Old”. The pictures were taken by Sara. The guitar in the pictures was donated by Derrick. The cane was from Sara’s personal collection of canes.… Read More »2010-04-08
Rodan139: Water Alternate
I need to start today off by wishing my Mom a happy birthday. Without here, none of this would be possible. Not only would I never exist, she also bought me my first camera. A Minolta Maxxum 450si. Happy birthday Mom! It hope is as amazing a birthday as you… Read More »Rodan139: Water Alternate
Sorrow and Gladness – 2020
In early August I went on a small road trip with my Mom. The end goal was to see some buffalo at the Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge. However, on the way there, we made a stop at the rose garden in State Center. Early August has the potential to be… Read More »Sorrow and Gladness – 2020
Town Sign Project – Vol. 11
One of my goals for my vacation was to get 20 new town sign pictures for THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT. I thought I would hit this easy, because I had two road trips planned to completely opposite sides of the state. However, on my trip to Mines of Spain, I… Read More »Town Sign Project – Vol. 11
