I have recently had a battle in my head and in my wallet. I knew I wanted to purchase a new camera that was something like an action cam, only so much more. It has the qualities of say a GoPro, but the image quality is vastly superior. The amount… Read More »The New New
Last Tuesday I took a little bit of time off from the Computer Mine to make progress in my personal quest to meet, photograph, or at least see in person the person that will take office as the next President of the United States in 2021. Beto O’Rourke was in… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Beto O’Rourke
…the strength of street knowledge. I don’t usually take a bunch of extra pictures for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE any longer, but with a theme like STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, it really screamed to take a ton of images. So that is what I did. On Saturday morning I went down to… Read More »You are About to Witness…
We hit double digits for, we’ll call it, the 5th week in a row. STREET PHOTOGRAPHY was a surprisingly popular theme even though it is a type of photography that can often put people outside of their comfort zone. This week, the Photography 139 Weekly Photo Challenge Empire extended as… Read More »WPC – WEEK 191 – STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
There are several folders inside the folder called 2009-02-18, so rather than having one of those fifty photo journal entries, I’ve decided to break them down by the subfolder. This subfolder is called ARIZONA_DAY_2. The pictures in this folder are from when I went to Arizona with Jesse on a… Read More »2009-02-18 – Arizona Day 2
For the first time, in something like 15-20 years I went to the Boone County Fair Parade. The original idea was that these pictures would be for THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. They were going to be for the page that was something-like “Take a picture that is outside of your… Read More »Like Fireworks, Only More Boring
It has been over a month since I made any progress in my personal quest to meet, photograph, or at least see in person the person that will take office as the next President of the United State in 2021. I finally scratched a third person off the list when… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Bernie Sanders

Seems like a good time to share my favorite pictures from THE SELFIE PROJECT from April. I’ve been trying to be more interesting with the pictures, or at least more interesting with my life, since it felt like in January and February I didn’t do anything. I don’t know if… Read More »Selfie Project – April
Happy International Workers’ Day! Also, sometimes known as May Day and one of the few holidays I haven’t heard some humbug grouse about how it is a fabricated holiday forced upon us by the greeting card cartels. On this International Workers’ Day, remember the old parable about how the world… Read More »Happy International Workers’ Day

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
Dipping in to the 2018 backlog to share some of the photos from the Miller-Peterson Christmas. We celebrated in the Fellowship Hall of my church. Almost everybody made it except for the Manhattan Millers. The triplets, I think were still in the hospital at the time. Hopefully everybody is able… Read More »Miller-Peterson Christmas
It has been awhile since we checked in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. I figured today was as good of a day as any to check out March before April is over. I’m not sure I did more interesting things in March than I did in February or January where it… Read More »Selfie Project – March

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
The pictures from the folders 2009-01-02 and 2009-01-03 involved a trip to ACTORS theater in Ames. Plus a trip to Ottumwa to work on the house that Jen inherited. Plus there are some pictures of when I had winnowed down what house I would purchase down to two similar ranch… Read More »2009-01-02 & 2009-01-03
