Shannon is getting ready to make her third donation to Locks of Love. She is getting her hair cut on Thursday. We went to Brookside Park and documented what she looked like now. There will be an after coming up at some point. This is where Shannon found a stray… Read More »Another Before
I had a pretty good Halloween. I hosted FNSC. I made chili. I made cornbread from scratch. I made apple cider. Jay made a blueberry buckle. Willy showed up in a costume. We watched some movies from a bygone era that some people might characterize as strange. However, I think… Read More »All Hallow’s Eve
Iowa State’s entrance video is pretty cool. It shows intersplices action from this season with footage of many of the greatest Cyclones in history. The song that plays over the action is Saliva’s Ladies and Gentlemen. The opening lyrics of the song describe the Cyclone season, but not in the… Read More »An Explosion of Catastrophe
Last Friday was Brandon’s final home game. It was the first time that I’ve been to a Boone High football game since I graduated high school. It was an interesting experience. Some things have changed. Some surprising things happened. I took some pictures. Dan Behind the bleachers fenced off. Brandon… Read More »Last Home Game
More black and white pictures of Brandon. This picture is meant to be a joke. Color pictures to be posted soon.
There are a limited amount of places a guy can go to get real black and white film processed. One of them is a local company that I will not name. I’ve had very poor results going to them. But I recently took some film there to get processed from… Read More »The Brandon Kahler Project: Chapter 1 – Frustration
While I was going through the long process of changing this website over to a different server, I fell behind in my duties. That isn’t too big of a deal, except one of the days that I missed a post on was Thursday, October 16, 2008. So I beseech you… Read More »Happy Birthday Becky!
Friday was an interesting day. Of course there was the high of it being Free Gyro Day, but the rest of the work day went rather uneventful. It was near 5:30, the time I was going to run out of hours and check out for the week, when my phone… Read More »Euphonious

I made an appearance at the annual Majors Family Reunion on Saturday. I took a few pictures. I guess I did make it to a reunion this year.
Two more pictures that were not selected. It took me some time to actually find one of these old merry-go-rounds. I searched high and low and only found one in Boone. Perhaps there is another one somewhere, but the only one I could find was at the Trinity playground. The… Read More »Spurned

To answer the question: “Yes I took that picture of Shannon in the Des Moines Register”. I thought would post some of my favorite pictures from the photo shoot that will no doubt launch her modeling career. Watching all that soap making makes me want to go buy some soap.
Some times the Des Moines Register gets real arrogant. They do things like try to me just who it is that “I should get to know”. Some times the Des Moines Register gets it right. However, even when they get it right they are way behind the times. Check out… Read More »Slow on the take…
