That Nurse Came into my Room, She Told Me I’m Sick in the Head

The world wasn’t ready for these alternate FRAMED images for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE yesterday. Hopefully by laying down some groundwork yesterday the world will be able to handle them. I have my doubts…

Selfie Project – October

You can tell the year is starting to wind down. I don’t feel I did the best work on THE SELFIE PROJECT in October. It admittedly wasn’t the busiest month of the year for me, but I still had plenty of things go down. I’ll have to try to do better in November. Finish off THE SELFIE PROJECT strong!!

I do at least have plans to travel farther than Ankeny in November. So that is something!

We will check in on this project again in a month!

A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 58 Beta

On the last Saturday of my vacation I corralled Jesse and we went out to McHose Park and took the second picture for Page 58 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT:

Page 58 Beta – Take a picture of yourself pretending to be yourself.

Here are a couple of others we took during the session that won’t be physically adhered into the physical PHOTO JOURNAL:

I have a few more pages for THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT taken, so I’m not sure what page I will unveil next. Leaning towards Page 33 though.

A few week’s back I went ahead and knocked out the first of 2 pictures for Page 58 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT:


Photo Journal - Page 58 Alpha
Page 58 – Alpha – Take a picture of yourself pretending to be somebody else.

Maybe this concept is a little arrogant, but at least now all the people that keep asking me why I have a piece of duct tape on my dashboard with the word “Expectations” written on it will stop asking me about it.

Here are some other photos from the photo shoot that I like, but won’t be adhered into the physical THE PHOTO JOURNAL:

I think I had a pretty decent September. Hopefully October treats me well.

On Labor Day I was able to take a picture for Page 59 of the Photo Journal:

Page 59 – Take a picture of yourself as yourself.

Logan assisted with the production by moving the camera here and there. Johnathan watched in a distance.

While most people will disagree, I think that I don’t take enough pictures of rubber dinosaurs. Probably should get on that.

Selfie Project – August

One of the benefits of THE SELFIE PROJECT is that I can look back at a month and feel less worthless. Hey, I actually did go out and do stuff and see people in month X. I’m a winner!

Speaking of winners, these are the photos I consider winners from the month of August:

Remember that THE SELFIE PROJECT photos are posted on Instagram on the daily. If you don’t know, Instagram is that little sliver of social media that doesn’t suck… much. There are a few lazy slackjaws out there that post memes, but other than that, it is just pictures. Any way you can follow me at the account below:

Now I need to make sure that my September is almost as great as my August!

Selfie Project – July

It feels like I didn’t get off the couch much in July. I guess we’ll take a look. Here are some of my favorites from the month of July from THE SELFIE PROJECT:
