At 6:30 in the morning on Sunday, June 23, the Boone First United Methodist Church Youth Group loaded up 3 vans and headed to Rapid City. There were 20 youth and 5 adults. It was an interesting crew, but we were ready to take on a mission trip. Serving others… Read More »Rapid City Mission Trip – Day 0
While I was hitting that 2018 backlog I realized that I have made a dreadful mistake. Last year Scott Krause dominated the chicken world at the Boone County Fair. He asked me to take a picture of him and his Champion Chicken. I gladly did so and then went home… Read More »The Chicken Man
Last Saturday in between seeing GODZILLA: KING OF MONSTERS and heading up to Kamrar, for a birthday dinner, I talked Nader into posing for Page 37 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. Page 37 – Use aperture to capture melancholy. I took a few other pictures of Nader before picking out… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 37
GROUP PORTRAIT turned out to be surprisingly popular. When I woke from my slumbers this morning, about 15 minutes after arriving at the computer mine, I had only received 2 submissions. I thought there was no way we would get to double digits for submissions. But as the morning unfolded,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 194 – GROUP PORTRAIT
The pictures in the folder called 2009-02-18/Arizona Day 4 are from my work/vacation to Arizona. Jesse and I spent the night at his brother’s house. We got up in the morning and ate at a local eatery. Then we visited a National Park called the Casa Grande Ruins. I think… Read More »2009-02-18 – Arizona Day 4
The pictures in the folder called 2009-02-18/Arizona_Day_3B are from the work/vacation to Arizona. The pictures are all from after Jesse and I met up with Lowell and Strabala and went back to the mini-mountain thing in Phoenix. As it would just so happen, while we were there, Air Force One… Read More »2009-02-18 – Arizona Day 3B
Last Friday I took a birthday road trip with Jesse. It wasn’t my birthday, but it was the day before my birthday and I knew my actual birthday was going to be filled with working on my Mom’s bedroom ceiling and graduation open houses. So I took Friday off from… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 104
A few Saturdays back I went out to Long Park with Johnathan and Logan to test Rodan139 out as there were some quirky things that happened with it on the previous day when I took it to Don Williams. Turned out it was more of a phone update issue than… Read More »A Photo Journal – Pages 84-85

Last Saturday Logan stopped by to show me his super sweet gimbal and to borrow my Rode microphone to see if it is something that he wanted to add one to his arsenal in the future. I hadn’t actually touched the Rode in probably 4 or 5 years. I guess… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 32
A very solid week of submissions for RELIGION. We hit double digits and maybe if the weather stays nice, we can stay in that rarefied air! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submssions: Carla Stensland Carla… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 188 – RELIGION
There aren’t many pictures in the folders 2009-01-05 and 2009-01-25 so I decided to combine them into one post. The pictures are mostly from a trip around Boone during a snowstorm and Nader and I’s last trip to the Varsity Theater. Many people may not remember the Varsity. It was… Read More »2009-01-05 & 2009-01-25
A couple weekends back up I went to Minnesota to check out the Final Four festivities and check-in with a few people I hadn’t seen for a long time. On Sunday morning I hit a donut shop with Becca and Shawn. Then I went to Minnehaha Falls to kill sometime… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 90
I thought I had published every picture I have taken for the Boone Area Humane Society, but while checking out the backlog I realized that was in error. I never published pictures from the Pufferbilly Days Pet Show. Now the subject of this post called in the Pufferbilly Days Dog… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Dog Show
The weather last week was all over the place in Central Iowa. Beautiful one day. Windy enough to blow down one side of the Burger King garbage corral the next. Then beautiful again. Then a few snow flurries the next. Then beautiful again. While the weather was all over the… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 187 – FAVORITE COLOR
Sometime in late 2008 my organizational process of my photos went all FUBAR. The result is that it appears that I have actually lost several images from late 2008 and early 2009. None of the lost pictures are of much consequence, but it is annoying nonetheless. Part of this breakdown… Read More »12December2008
Last Saturday I continued on my goal to try to finish THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT as Joe agreed to pose for Page 82. Before you ask, yes, Joe legitimately think the world is flat. Not only does he believe that the world is flat, he is an evangelical for the… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 82

Yellow. Yellow is the most recent filter from the super cheap filter set that I cracked out and tested. I still took mostly pictures of Naima, but I actually left my yard and went out to Dickcissel. This, was perhaps, not the best plan. With all the space to roam,… Read More »It Stands for the Sun
I believe that the submissions for FORMAL PORTRAIT are amongst the most solid collection of submissions we’ve had in a long time for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE!
