I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to move my website to a different server. That is going to be a goal of mine in the next couple of weeks. Until then, I’m going to have to post all of the Kansas game pictures in the journal. I’m going… Read More »Stupid John Greenleaf Whittier
Happy Birthday to this guy: I don’t know where he got his questionable taste in athletic teams…
Last Sunday I had some unexpected free time when I got fired from a friend’s photo project. That is right I got: A career change opportunity Discharged The Pink Slip Dehired Canned Downsized Let Go Outsourced Made Redundant Skill-mix Adjustment Released Walking Papers Shown the Door The Ax Terminated Sacked… Read More »Volt-face
Today is Sara’s birthday. Rather than post a bunch of pictures of Sara for Sara’s birthday, I’m going to take a slightly different tact. Yesterday I wrote about Sara auditioning to become a Photography 139 Photo Assistant. She got high marks for having a big purse. One of her few… Read More »Happy Birthday Sara!

My big plan for Saturday was to journey down to Des Moines to watch Jen compete in the Des Moines Regatta. I have never been to such an event, so it was going to be a new experience. I started my day by going to Ames to drop off a… Read More »My Saturday (Volume 1)
Alexis had her first gymnastics meet on Sunday. She totally ripped it up. Just look at all the precious metal she brought back with her from that other side of the state. I don’t know how she can even stand up! This is how she did: 6th on Floor 3rd… Read More »First Meet
My Aunt Linda is renting out her acreage. This has caused her to get rid of some of the things in the acreage. I benefited from this downsizing by getting a sweet new table. Aunt Linda So I got Steve and Jesse together and we drove over to the acreage… Read More »Dear, Beloved, Precious
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.
On Saturday the Cyclones were able to avenge one of their losses from last year. Once again it was a night game, so there are few images, but I’ll share a few. Although Iowa State did right a wrong, their performance was hardly impressive. Well, it was impressive at times… Read More »Retribution (Part 1)
Perhaps you were hoping to see pictures of the Cyclones schizophrenic performance last night, but I haven’t gotten that far yet. The pictures below conclude the pictures from Iowa State’s dismantling of South Dakota State. There aren’t many pictures because a night game isn’t a great environment for photo taking.… Read More »The Long Road Back (Part 3)
This year I took a different route selecting pictures for the Photo Contest. I put together 20 pictures and then had certain people select and name 1 picture from that list. I then entered those pictures. I liked the way this process worked out. I will do it again in… Read More »Selected Pictures
Last Thursday, the Cyclones began their long return from the abyss. Last year the Cyclones were embarrassed at The Jack in their opening game of the season. This year they took another step towards redemption by routing their opening opponent. The South Dakota State Jackrabbits were not a match for… Read More »The Long Road Back (Part 1)
The final four pictures that were not selected all come from Independence Day. Todd lighting fireworks. Shannon watching. Fireworks from below. Fireworks from below. Shannon observing the fireworks. That concludes the presentation of the 14 pictures that didn’t make it to the photo contest.
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
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…
