I should start with wishing everybody a Happy Easter! Happy Easter! It is definitely one of the weirdest Easters that most of us have ever experienced. I didn’t go to church on Easter Sunday since I don’t know when. Instead, I drove around and took a few pictures of church… Read More »Senior Sunday – Taylan – Volume 2
I’d like to start with a little Good Friday Devotional I found on MethodistThinker.com: On Good Friday we commemorate that day nearly 2,000 years ago when the way of salvation was opened. Jesus the Messiah, the One who knew no sin, became sin for us and suffered the death we… Read More »Bravard
Happy Maundy Thursday! Traditionally I would have been a the Computer Mine for a full hour by the time this was publishing. However, my mind would be thinking about tonight’s worship service at the Boone First United Methodist Church. Maundy Thursday is traditionally one of my favorite worship services of… Read More »Mish Mash
Another on of the Seniors that I am featuring on Senior Sunday is Garrett Larson. Garrett is the son of Willy’s running buddy Avril.

The pictures in the folder 2009-09-24 are from the annual Howard Family Photo Shoot in 2009. Sometimes I look at old photos and think about how much I have improved as a photographer, but I think the area I’ve grown the most as a photographer is as a family photographer.… Read More »2009-09-24
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those of you that celebrate. I don’t. I’m mostly of Scottish and Welsh stock, so I’ve been trained by the English to hate the Irish and I do. I do hate the Irish. At least I hate the Notre Dame Fighitn’ Irish. They can straight… Read More »Pride. Integrity. Guts.
The pictures in the folder 2009-09-11 are from a photo shoot I had with Pam’s family. I’ve never published these pictures before, so this is the first time that they have seen the light of day! Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve a football game between Iowa State… Read More »2009-09-11
The last two years my church has manned the food stand at the Municipal Band Festival. The first year it was pretty successful, but maybe slightly unethical. Last year, it wasn’t very successful from a financial standpoint, but people that worked it had a good time. Here are some pictures… Read More »Band Festival
FASHION barely drew enough interest to march our double digit submission streak all the way to 22. I mean, if you’ve seen the way my friends dress, it is obvious that FASHION wasn’t going to appeal to many of them. Not everybody is a dandy like me. But you didn’t… Read More »WPC – WEEK 233 – FASHION
The pictures in the folder 2009-09-09 are from two road trips I took back in 2009. One was a trip with my Mom, Grandma, and Teresa to Kalona. Kalona has always been one of my favorite places to visit. It has been too long since I have been there, that… Read More »2009-09-09
A big thank you to all the people that showed up and supported the Youth Group on Ash Wednesday! This year, it was a huge success! We raised more than double the money that we raised on last year’s Spaghetti Fundraiser! Here are some pictures from the event: Don’t worry… Read More »Ash Wednesday Spaghetti Fundraiser
OLD was not the most popular WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme, but we still managed to have double digit submission for the 21st straight week with a certain amount of ease! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the… Read More »WPC – WEEK 232 – OLD
Hey! Guess what? One week from today is Ash Wednesday! Do you know what that means? It means that it is another chance to come support the Youth Group’s Mission Trip to Indianapolis!

20 WEEKS IN A ROW! That is right, this is the 20th straight week with double digit submissions! Glad to see there are so many people out there that belong to a FAMILY and like them enough to take their picture! But you didn’t come here to listen to me… Read More »WPC – WEEK 231 – FAMILY
The pictures from the folder named 2009-08-29 are mostly from a photo session I did with Stephanie. If I recall correctly, these pictures were supposed to be a headshot for her music career. I decided to convert those to black and white and save them for posterity. The other pictures… Read More »2009-08-29
The pictures in the folder 2009-08-27 are from a photo session I did with Jill. It was the beginning, I think, or near the beginning of a thing I did for a couple years I call THE PERSONAL PHOTO PROJECT. It was something I did where at least once a… Read More »2009-08-27
For starters, happy birthday Anders! We celebrated Anders’ birthday last night at January birthday night with yellow cake, a DOLEMITE double feature, and a root beer tasting. After all, DOLEMITE is my name and (expletive deleted) up mother (expletive deleted) is my game! Here are some pictures of a man… Read More »Birthday Road Trip – Little Brown Church
There are a ton of photos in the folder 2009-08-24. Most of them are from my trips to the Iowa State Fair in 2009. However, there is also a good chunk of them that are pictures of Teresa and Ernie. This is already going to be a long post, so… Read More »2009-08-24
I would be remiss if I didn’t open today without wishing everybody a Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Today, I want to share some of his words following the end of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Often our movement has been referred to as a boycott movement. The word boycott,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 227 – TEXTURE
