On Sunday I descended into the depths of Missouri and Kansas on Sunday to watch Alexis compete in competitive cheerleading. I had spoken with our Associate Pastor Andrea about good barbecue joints in Kansas City and she recommended Jack Stack for ribs and Oklahoma Joe’s for sandwiches. I looked into… Read More »Be Aggressive!
This concludes the Johnathan series. Hopefully we will get some indoor photos taken in the near future.
The best part of these pictures is that around the time we started on this set of pictures, Johnathan said, “Hey mom, you are standing on a snake.” Carla looked down. She was indeed standing a living, breathing snake. She slightly overreacted. Poor thing. At least it wasn’t hurt. >… Read More »Johnathan – Day 1 Part D
Some pictures from Johnathan’s Senior Pictures Day 1 photo shoot. I didn’t exactly select pictures that I thought were great Senior Pictures, but pictures that I liked. Day 1 was productive and I look forward to Day 2.
Last Monday I finally completed Window Project #1. It has been several years since my mom got new windows for her house. I had her keep all of the old windows because I thought that there would be a point in the future where I would be able to use… Read More »Window Project #1
Rarely when I publish pictures do I explain the thought process, the technical information or the inspiration. If somebody is confused by a picture or intrigued by a picture I want them to come to their own conclusions. I feel by telling people too much about a picture, it cheapens… Read More »Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name
A few years back I lost the Howard family portrait account. This year, I got it back. Here are some images from the Howard Family Portrait Photo Shoot. I think I might be caught up on all my photo editing. It might just be story time again.
Admittedly, this is a series of very similar pictures, but I hope to convey the excitement and pageantry of the Des Moines Regatta. I went down there on Saturday to watch Jen compete with Derrick and sara. Some of these photos were taken by Sara who redeemed herself after last… Read More »Des Moines Regatta
I don’t know if there is much reason to dwell on the Iowa-Iowa State game. I think the only positives to come out of the game is that if you are going to lose, play your absolutely worst game that you can possibly imagine. Plus, Iowa is a quarterback away… Read More »The Iowa Hawkeyes
I’ve taken the time to post some pictures from the Iowa State-North Dakota State in the Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2009 Album. It was a night game, so regrettably there are only a few images, but these are some of my favorites. Me with my Aunt Barbara, Cousin Mary… Read More »North Dakota State
Here are a few pictures from another mini-adventure. I will not answer questions about this trip, (it was a spiritual quest and that is all you need to know) but I will let leak the following tidbits: Faust really hates nature. Perhaps even more than Bill fears nature. I was… Read More »Vacation Stuff – Two
I was on vacation last week. I had a few mini-adventures. Here are some pictures from one of those mini-adventures. If you have specific questions about certain pictures, I am willing to answer direct questions. But the answer will be in 5 words or less.
Here is a look at the pictures that the committee had to choose from, but received no love. “Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, Guess I’ll go eat worms, Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones, Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms. Down goes the first one, down goes the… Read More »Think I’ll Go Eat Worms
My mom doesn’t own a computer or even know how to use one, so I had to bring her over to the Honest Abe office to have her look over the pictures for her to pick one. “Pardon and Sanctify Me” I actually thought that she would pick this one.… Read More »Charlotte Bennett (Mom)
This past weekend was the Pufferbilly Days photo contest. I had 6 different people pick the 6 different entries this year. The first person to pick was Sara Junck. She picked the picture below: “Cozy Combination” Sara actually took slightly over the 24 hour deadline. She waffled back and forth… Read More »Sara Junck
It’s very dangerous to wave to people you don’t know because what if they don’t have hands? They’ll think you’re cocky. -Mitch Hedberg Last Thursday, Jill posed for a few pictures for a photo project I am working on. Below are some of the results of that photo session. Hopefully,… Read More »No. 14
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We can reduce the… Read More »The Outer Limits
I went to a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association on Friday night with Sara and Amy. It was an interesting evening. The basic point of the night was wine tasting and art for sale. I don’t drink, so I mostly looked at art. However, there was one point where… Read More »Raise a Glass
