The goal of my birthday road trip was Dunning Springs in Decorah. The photo below proves I made it: I actually want to go back to Decorah and spend a little more time up there this summer. I guess we’ll see what happens. PARTICULARS CAMERA: Sony ILCA-77M2 ISO: 125 FOCAL… Read More »More Birthday Road Trip

My birthday present to myself was hitting the open road with just my thoughts, a killer playlist, and my camera. Union Grove Park was one of my first stops. Took this photo there. Often people tell me that they want to go on one of my photo road trips, but… Read More »Birthday Road Trip
More pictures that didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme AMERICANA: Who know what these pictures could accomplish, if only they believed in themselves.
This is part of the collection of photos that didn’t have what it takes for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme AMERICANA: If only these pictures believed in themselves, who knows what they could accomplish.
A couple Saturdays back I loaded up into an automobile with Mom, Teresa, and Logan and we headed to the What Cheer Flea Market. This photo has nothing to do with What Cheer, Iowa. On the way back we went through Pella to check out their world famous tulips. Here… Read More »The Great What Cheer Road Trip Photo No. 1
The images in the folder called 08-14-07B are all from a trip to Living History Farms that Shannon arranged for me. Next Saturday’s folder will involve a trip to a flooded Ledges.
The folder called 07-16-07 was all over the place. You’ll be happy to know that I got all of my Jason Voorhees jokes about this set of images out of my system before I wrote this here journal entry. Next “Saturday’s” folder might involve donuts. Although, I will probably just… Read More »07-16-07
Looks like a trip to Marshalltown and then a trip to Midnight Madness in the folder 07-07-07: Next week’s folder will involve a softball game.
Jesse and I went down to Kansas City last Saturday to watch Iowa State play West Virginia in the Big 12 Championship Game. Here are a few cruddy cell phone pictures from the day: It was a great day spent in Hilton South with 18,000 of my closest friends! Iowa… Read More »3 for 4
These pictures didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the GOVERNMENT theme for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Maybe these pictures aren’t so bad. Maybe if only the believed in themselves.
Looks like I went to Iowa State & Woodward for photos for the album called 07-04-07. Next Saturday’s walk down Memory Lane will be flower heavy.
I like this picture because it helps me pretend like I have that drone that I want to get: But alas, I’m only standing on a bridge and looking down. PARTICULARS CAMERA: Sony SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL LENGTH: 15mm APERTURE: f/8 EXPOSURE: 1/160 DATE: 12-24-2016 – 11:32 LATITUDE: 41.86653° LONGITUDE:… Read More »Drone Fantasy
The remainder of the BLACK & WHITE photos that didn’t make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE from the BLACK & WHITE PHOTO ROAD TRIP. However, it isn’t the end of the rejects: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this collection of pathetic losers.
I read on Twitter once about a place claiming to be “the most photographed waterfall in Iowa”. Now I don’t know how they document that claim, especially when what they are referring to is actually a spillway, but I suppose water does fall over it. Either way, this “waterfall” was… Read More »Sprechen Sie Deutche, Baby – Beta
I went on a rather extensive BLACK & WHITE road trip on Saturday. Here is the first collection of pictures that didn’t make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Taken in north Boone County. Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers!
Last Sunday Mom, Teresa, Vi, and I loaded up into the car and traveled to the great north to visit Andrea, Josh, Wesley, and Grace. It was a great time, but perhaps the highlight was going up into Andrea’s church’s dome with Josh. Here are a few of my favorite… Read More »The Dome
The pictures in the folder called 06-24-07 were from a road trip I went on with Jay. Next week’s folder is hard to explain, so I won’t even try.
The substructure of folder 06-23-07 is a little weird. I don’t remember what I was trying to do. But here are pictures from some of the subfolders: Not sure what is in next week’s folder. But I’ll figure it out.
Here are some of the images that were considered and rejected for either the cover or one of the months of the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar: So just hold on tight to those images. You won’t see them in 2017.
Here is the April image for the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar: This picture goes into a category (it is a fairly stacked category) of, “I really love this photo but I’m not sure many other people will.” Different strokes for different folks. I love pictures of deterioration. Plus the license… Read More »2017 Photography 139 Calendar April
