Ireland Day 1: Street Art
When we left off last Friday we were wandering around George Street Arcade. We will begin there. Most of this collection will concentrate on street art that Andy and I found while walking back to Grafton Street to have our compromise supper at Captain America. Easily the worst meal of… Read More »Ireland Day 1: Street Art
Henning Party Photobooth
I also setup a photobooth at the Henning 50th Anniversary Party. It wasn’t anything special. It was just a webcam, a television, a laptop, and a free photobooth program downloaded from the Microsoft store. The way it was setup, everything is horribly backlit, but in the Don Williams Shelter House,… Read More »Henning Party Photobooth
Henning 50th Wedding Anniversary Party
Last June I did some event photography for the Henning’s 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. It was a grand affair held out at the Don Williams Shelter House.

Tenderloining: Orange City Field Work
When I went on my annual Birthday Road Trip, Nader and I went up to the Orange City Tulip Festival. But while we were there, I cashed in on a chance to do some tenderloining. Orange City is the home of The Roadhouse. It is a restaurant of some reputation.… Read More »Tenderloining: Orange City Field Work
Jay Janson Invitational – 2025
Last year the 3rd Annual Jay Janson Miniature Golf Invitational atrophied a bit. It was up to 4 competitors in 2024. But in 2025 it was down to just me and Jay. Which was about what it should have been. We went to some minigolf course that wasn’t even a… Read More »Jay Janson Invitational – 2025
Ireland Day 1: Not So Hard on the Fingers
Time for more pictures from Day 1 of my trip to Ireland. Day 1 we mostly hung around the Grafton Street area and I got to see some of the filming location of one of my all-time favorite movie: ONCE!

Food Truckin’: 515 Day Field Work
Back on May 15, Nader and I hit up 515 Day in Ames to check out the annual Food Truck Showdown. I have to admit that at this point it was kind of slim pickings to find a food truck that I haven’t tried in this area. At least that… Read More »Food Truckin’: 515 Day Field Work
Ireland Day 1: Say it to Me Now
It is finally the time. It is the time to start sharing pictures from my trip to Ireland with Andy. Day 1 was mostly getting acclimated to the the time change difference. We mostly got our bearings, got our rental car, got into our AirBNB, and finally did some minor… Read More »Ireland Day 1: Say it to Me Now
Boone FUMC Thanksgiving – 2025
Way back in November I shared pictures of Boone First United Methodist Church’s annual community Thanksgiving meal prep work and some pictures from the Photography 139 Aerial Team known as Rodan139. I intended to shortly thereafter share the regular ground images from the Thanksgiving meal. But I didn’t. Which brings… Read More »Boone FUMC Thanksgiving – 2025

Orlando Work Trips – Days 3 & 4
Time for more from my super boring food “adventure” to lame Orlando, Florida. From this point on, I can’t say I had a single meal from outside the Hilton Orlando. Because there is literally nothing around the hotel besides the convention center and a collection of some of the worst… Read More »Orlando Work Trips – Days 3 & 4
ISF: 08/17/2025: Cultural Center

Orlando Work Trip – Days 1 & 2
Time to start sharing my food adventure in awful Orlando, Florida. Only don’t get too glued to your seat. It is super boring, like Orlando itself. I basically never left the hotel (except to go to the convention center) because there was nothing to do anywhere near our hotel. Almost… Read More »Orlando Work Trip – Days 1 & 2
ISF: 08/17/2025 – Various Art

It is the 12th day of May. Seems like a good time to share the THE SELFIE PROJECT images from April. I travelled a bit in April. For work. But not to any place cool. But at least it was some travel. Here are the April Selfies: April 1 April… Read More »Selfie Project – April 2026
WPC – WEEK 556 – AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

You will have to be your own… Read More »WPC – WEEK 556 – AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Mother’s Day
I’m going to skip a food adventure today, even though I know you are all dying to know if I spent my entire per diem in America’s arm pit Orlando, Florida. But that will probably wait until next week. Or a couple of weeks. I’m still trying to pretend I… Read More »Mother’s Day
