The pictures from the folder 2010-05-02 are from the day that Alexis and my Mom came over and planted some flowers at my house. Mostly around my light post. A flowerbed that I am going to expand, maybe considerably, in 2021. By adding these pictures to the Photography 139 Gallery,… Read More »2010-05-02
I would understand if people were somewhat disappointed with these POSTCARD RECREATION PROJECT images. Because, spoiler, the building in these postcards that I recreated doesn’t exist any longer. It was demolished a long time ago. This won’t be the last time this happens. I mean, just wait until we get… Read More »Postcard Recreation Project – Boone Biblical College
I need to begin today by wishing Elainie a happy birthday. Happy birthday Elainie! I hope your birthday is as amazing as you want it to be. +++++++ Back in late October, we got a bit of unexpected snow. I took a few flower pictures afterwards. Fortunately, fall weather wasn’t… Read More »In the Cold October Snow
Remember to go out and vote today. If voting wasn’t important, Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to take voting away from so many people. Photoshop has recently released a few new set of tools that are somewhat controversial in photography circles. They are controversial because many photographers don’t like… Read More »Sky Replacement

Back in September, I took some supermacro images while I was expereminting with bellows. I need to get back to that. Macro photography is a good winter photo subject. Not that I’m ready to give up the out of doors yet, or at all, but you know what I’m saying.… Read More »Macrolicious
Happy Halloween! At the time of my writing this, the CDC has recently announced that Beggars’ Night should be cancelled.

A couple weeks ago I followed the trail from the Kate Shelley Railroad Museum to the remains of the bridge that she crossed to save all those lives all those years ago. If you don’t know the story of Kate Shelley, it goes something like this from the Wikipedia page:… Read More »Rodan139: Kate Shelley’s Bridge Remains
Today’s collection is a series of macro photos I took of a grasshopper hanging out by my back patio. I took this series of pictures back in August.

Several years ago Jen suggested that for a photo project, I “recreate” old postcards. I loved the idea and I did it for exactly one postcard. Then did absolutely nothing else. For years. While I was on my vacation, I decided to start that project up again. I think I… Read More »Postcard Recreation Project Reboot
This post is mostly a catch-all of cleaning up some image collections taken back in August, that were either going to part of bigger journal entries that I have abandoned or just a few rando pictures taken here and there that I just want to clean up and get out… Read More »A Little Here, A Little There
56 weeks in a row people. We even had double digit submissions before Monday morning! Now this week’s theme is a little more challenging, I feel like we will once again, hit double digits. You can tell that the weather must be getting colder. While the theme is ANIMAL, every… Read More »WPC – WEEK 267 – ANIMAL
I took these pictures on what was surely a beautiful July day. I was beginning to work on a photo project where I freeze a flower in a block of ice. I still really haven’t got one I’m looking for exactly, but this was the beginning of the dream. A… Read More »Ice Ice Daisy
Whew! This is a big one. Just by adding these pictures to the SmugMug Gallery from the folder 2010-04-29, I was able to fix 5 “An Artist’s Notebook” posts. I believe I added pictures to 14 different photo albums. The pictures in this folder are taken from over several days… Read More »2010-04-29

Here is a collection of flower pictures that I took back in July. I could see one of these making the 2021 Photography 139 Calendar. I actually had a request of sorts on a picture to put in the calendar. First time that has happened in quite some time. The… Read More »Flower Deeds. Done Dirt Cheap.
You know that BLACK AND WHITE is my favorite theme. You know darn well that I’m going to have lots of BLACK AND WHITE alternates. Lots and lots of alternates. Actually I think I have less alternates than I normally do for BLACK AND WHITE. That being said, I’m still… Read More »Put that Fire in Your Soul

Double nickels people! Sammy Haggar might not be able to drive 55, but we can do 55 straight weeks of double digits like it ain’t no thing. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions: Andy Sharp… Read More »WPC – WEEK 266 – BLACK AND WHITE
Boone County has a handful of country churches. But the one that is my far the most beautiful, photogenic, and set in the best location is Saint Paul Lutheran Church that is north and east of Boone. I plan on taking the drone to all of Boone County’s country churches,… Read More »Rodan139: Saint Paul Lutheran Church
