Day 3 was the only day we spent entirely in Orlando. It was one full day too many. Orlando is flat out one of the worst cities I’ve ever visited. It is dirty. It is poorly laid out. There is no culture. There is no music. There is no historical… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Day 3 – The Game
Back in October I went down to Nate and Laura’s in Manhattan to celebrate the triplets birthday party. Did I take pictures? Boy did I! Many more pictures from the party still to come!!
How many weeks of lockdown it has been has me really thinking about vacation. I have a ton of places I want to go, but I know none of them are smart. Instead, I’ve started curating the pictures from the Camping World Bowl Road Trip. Spoiler: there isn’t many of… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Days 1 & 2
30 straight weeks with double digits!! The second straight week that I didn’t send any reminder text messages this morning and still made double digits easy. You dig?

This is a bit of a different walk down memory lane. One of the first things I did when I started working from home was cleaning out what I guess what you would call my spare desk. I didn’t want to dump a bunch of work stuff on my normal… Read More »Chris’ New House 2009
25 days working from home down. No clue how many are left, but I’m guessing it at least 2 more weeks. This week with my extra stay at home time, I mopped my floors. All of them. Not counting the basement. We don’t talk about the basement! I also cleaned… Read More »Elainie Homecoming Ch. 1
We’ve reached a point in the backlog where most of what is left is portraits. Editing portraits is the hardest for me for a variety of reasons. At least group portraits. The solo portrait isn’t such a big deal. Couples is no big deal. But groups. Woof! There is a… Read More »The 2019 Howards – Subset Uno
Here is the rest of the pictures I took hanging out on the most beautiful campus in the world with with a couple swans as my only company. I haven’t been to Ames since I started working from home. One of the things I look forward to is visiting the… Read More »Elaine, the Lily Maid of Astolat,
I’ve finally got around to sharing pictures of my great-nephew Kanoa. He was born late last August and he is so cute that I wanted to keep all his pictures to myself. But I can’t keep all the cuteness to myself. What is the old saying, “Cuteness held is the… Read More »Free One
Here is the second collection of pictures of flowers I took at the Iowa State Fair on the last day of the Iowa State Fair. Almost all of these were taken in the Discovery Garden.

Since Monday’s reveal of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE submissions I have been flooded (virtually) with questions about what Naima listens to when she has her headphones on. To be honest, she doesn’t listen to music on headphones. She finds them to be incredibly uncomfortable, as the pictures below will surely… Read More »A Spectacle Monopolized
I need to start this post with warning you that if you are the type of fool that believes the false narrative that I hate cats, then you will want to turn back now! You will surely misinterpret what lies below to be anti-cat propaganda. It is not anti-cat propaganda.… Read More »Elaine the Fair, Elaine the Loveable,
I’ve finally hit the point in the backlog where I am emotionally, spiritually, physically, and psychologically prepared to start curating pictures of flowers from the Iowa State Fair. It is known that one of my favorite places at the Iowa State Fair is the Discovery Garden. I have to spend… Read More »Dear Love, I Miss You Much
Going to start today with a quote. Those of you who get it, will get it. Those of you that don’t, ask somebody: “I think we should legalize marijuana in this country. Just so potheads have nothing to talk about ever again.” -Daniel Tosh +++++++ WooHoo!! 29 straight weeks of… Read More »WPC – WEEK 240 – EARS
It is Senior Sunday once again! This Sunday we are checking back in with a second collection of pictures for Autumn! We took Autumn pictures on a farm a little east of Gilbert. Another Senior Sunday in the books! I hope you all had a great weekend!
There is a diverse collection of images in the folder 2009-10-31. Some of the pictures are from when I went tenderloining with the Defeneffes to Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe in Prairie City. Some are from when I used to have people I actually know trick-or-treat at my house. The rest… Read More »2009-10-31
I recently had a sale in the Photography 139 Gallery. Thanks to Amy for purchasing 16 pictures from the gallery. 16 pictures! Suck on that Vincent van Gogh! I don’t mention it very often, but almost every picture is for sale in the Photography 139 Gallery. Prices are only a… Read More »The Mine: An American Workplace
Delving into the 2019 backlog. This is a collection of pictures that span a couple different trips to Dickcissel Park with Naima. Most of the pictures are from the second trip where we encountered a wounded goose. The goose had been injured some way above its leg. It was out… Read More »Wild Goose Chase
This is the final collection of pictures from my trip to the Minnesota State Fair with Bethany, Becca, Jonah, and Shawn. These are the cruddy cell phone pictures. One thing that I found disappointing when I went back and looked at these is that I didn’t take pictures of my… Read More »Minnesota State Fair – Pixel Pictures
This morning’s post is a collection of some rando photos I took across a couple of days. A couple are of Naima, but most are taken in the Boone County Hospital Pond. Feels like we are getting down to the nitty-gritty of the 2019 backlog. But there are still some… Read More »Raggle-Taggle
