As Shawn and I were called to perform our secondary duty of ushering, I handed my camera to Kelly. She took the following pictures before the battery on the camera gave out. I was so completely drained from this wonderful day that I didn’t wake up until 1:30 on Sunday… Read More »The Wedding of the Year (Part 3)
This is really a continuation of more pictures of the wedding principals taking it easy backstage before the big show. Monica took the pictures of me, including my picture with Jay, the one where he reveals that he truly doesn’t like me all that much.
I didn’t take many pictures from The Wedding of the Year because I was quite busy being a triple threat: Groomsman, Usher and Reader Guy. However, I did manage to snap off a few photos here and there. I take many a memory away from an absolutely incredible day, but… Read More »The Wedding of the Year (Part 1)
A random selection of pictures from my trip to the State Fair with my Mom, Jay and Teresa. Ran into Jeff and Yin on the shuttle to the Fair. My new favorite hat. My favorite State Fair Food. (I firmly believe that “food on a stick” is for tourists.) Pioneer… Read More »State Fair Olla Podrida
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…

We took our seaworthy crafts out for their maiden voyages on Saturday. I took several pictures, but many of them are just too hot for the world wide web. Below are a few pictures that are a little less sexy. Jay preparing for the voyage. I bought these shoes so… Read More »Boone County Sea Dogs

On Saturday we visited a tobacco farm, went to Newson’s (home of the famous hot dog sauce), visited Paducah and then ate at Lambert’s. The impetus for this trip was the PostSecret display at the Paducah Art Gallery. The display was certainly worth the trip. Teresa and Ernie Tobacco Barn… Read More »Down South – Day 2

On the second day of the trip we headed to a house that hadn’t been touched or mucked. I can’t even describe how this house smelled. Once you opened opened the front door, you could stand across the street and still smell the house, with your mask on. The strange… Read More »Cedar Rapids Trip Day 2
I went over to Cedar Rapids with a group from my church to do a little flood relief. All I can really say is that it was 100 times worse than I imagined. 5,038 houses were effected by the flooding in Cedar Rapids. It will take 4 years of continuous… Read More »Cedar Rapids Trip Day 1

A couple of pictures of hanging out with Jeff and Yin on RAGBRAI Tuesday in Ames. You don’t “really know” a person until you’ve seen them in spandex.
I had a rare busy Saturday. Although admittedly a lot of my Saturday was spent watching other people do stuff or sleeping on a wet lounger. Perhaps the highlight of my Saturday was trying the taco dip that spawned Monica’s world famous taco dip. I should have gotten a picture… Read More »Images from a Saturday

Here is a collection of images from that wedding where I was the 2nd Shooter a few weeks back. I’ll hopefully post more pictures from that wedding in the future.
Saturday was this guy’s birthday: It was also the birthday of this punk: While going through some pictures I found this picture:
