Summer Saydie

I recently took some summer senior pictures for Saydie. At this time, I’m willing to share some of the special effects pictures.

These are some of the pictures I take that I know that the parents aren’t necessarily looking for (which is maybe why I’m not collecting fat stacks of cash as a portrait photographer), but I feel it is in line with the motto that is on the Photography 139 business card:

“Art is a lie that reveals the truth.”

Oh. You don’t know about the new Photography 139 business card? I guess that’ll probably be coming to a blog post near you at some point. If you ask nicely, you might even get one.

On a recent trip to Algona with Joe we made a stop in West Bend and I knocked out Page 5 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT:

Here are a few of the pictures I took but didn’t select to tape into the Photo Journal:

All the Fleas!

A couple months back Mom, Teresa, Logan, and I hopped into a vehicle of some kind and headed due east for famous What Cheer, Iowa and it’s even more famous flea market.

It didn’t disappoint. I think a person could spend all day there and still not see all the vendors.

Here are some pictures from that trip. You’re welcome Kio!

My favorite part of the What Cheer Flea Market is that they (seemingly) allow you to climb up onto the roof of their rickety grandstand. The roof is made out of sheet metal and their doesn’t seem to be any reinforcements as you walk across it. Hoping you don’t plummet to your death. It was awesome!

A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 9

On the last day of my vacation I took a quick sprint up to Dolliver Memorial State Park. On my way there I passed through Dayton. I stopped in Dayton to look for something to fulfill Page 9 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT.

I found this picture just waiting to be harvested:

Page 9 – Take a beautiful photo of something ugly.

I found a lot of ugly in Dayton and I think I managed to turn some of it into beauty. Here are a few the other contenders that didn’t get printed and taped into the photo journal:
