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.

06-23-07 (Post Production)
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.
Instagram Year in Review
It has been awhile since I did an Instagram post. This isn’t exactly one of those. This is just a look back at my most popular Instagram posts from 2016. Here they are: Just for fun, these were the 9 most popular in 2015: I don’t get what you would… Read More »Instagram Year in Review
Calendar Rejects
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.
2017 Photography 139 Calendar December
Here is the December image for the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar: This picture was taken a couple miles north of Ledges State Park and a couple of miles south of Boone, Iowa. Calendars are currently on sale at great vendors like… me… for a limited time. $10.
2017 Photography 139 Calendar April
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
2017 Photography 139 Calendar March
Here is the March image for the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar: This picture is of the Wagon Wheel Bridge west of Boone, Iowa. It collapsed after being hit by an ice flow. The remainder of the bridge was torn down just this week. I took this picture on the day… Read More »2017 Photography 139 Calendar March
He Hung Himself with a Guitar String
Here is a collection of pictures that didn’t make the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE cut for ROAD TRIP: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 59 – ROAD TRIP
ROAD TRIP saw some of the regulars drop out, but the ones that did participate went all in. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You just want to see the submissions. Here they are: Becky Perkovich 1 Becky Perkovich 2 Becky Perkovich… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 59 – ROAD TRIP
06-02-07
In an interesting conglomeration of pictures in the folder 06-02-07: Looks like mostly flowers in the folder for the next time we do this.
Backlog Photo Dump: Wagon Wheel Bridge
I took these pictures way back in March. Poor bridge. How I miss it.
Backlog Photo Dump: Reliable Street
This dump of photos from the backlog are from when Micky and I delivered some crates for work to this group of people forming some kind of art thing in the old grain elevator in west Ames. It was my favorite day of work all year! The place was falling… Read More »Backlog Photo Dump: Reliable Street
Backlog Cleanout Vol. 1
Here are some pictures from a trip to Kansas to see Nate: There is so, so, so, so much more in the backlog. But at least this was a start.
Rust Bucket – Strong City Kansas
Another automobile I found fascinating in the car graveyard that is Strong City, Kansas. I have maybe a couple more pictures left to share from beautiful (cough, cough) to me Strong City, Kansas. Added a new category in PARTICULARS since I love minutia. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL… Read More »Rust Bucket – Strong City Kansas
Facade
Part of the front of the Boone County Museum recently fell off. Took a few pictures just to document what could have been a tragedy. I recently attend a funeral of a church friend. One of the people that spoke about him at the funeral said that on the day… Read More »Facade
Gannon and Duarte
Here is another photo from the work afternoon I spent with a group of people turning the old grain elevator in west Ames into an “art place”. This was painted onto a window on the third or fourth floor. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V FOCAL LENGTH: Unrecorded APERTURE: Unrecorded EXPOSURE: 1/80… Read More »Gannon and Duarte
Hey Baby…
“You look like you could be from Kansas.” After seeing the remains of this truck and its license plate, I legitimately think that might be a legit pickup line. Now that I’m through the party, I’ll try to get caught back up with my postings. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO:… Read More »Hey Baby…
Feeling Kansas
I might have processed this image to within an inch of its life. However, it turned out pretty much exactly as I wanted it so. Everybody wins! It feels like I should show you what the original image looked like. But I’m not going to. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO:… Read More »Feeling Kansas
Wagon Wheelin’
Another photo of the fallen Wagon Wheel Bridge: Probably just a couple more of these up my sleeve.

Strong City Elevator
On Nate and I’s jaunt from Wichita back to Manhattan we made a stop in Strong City so I could photograph a surprisingly photogenic town. Here is a photo of some rusty goodness: You can take it to the bank, there is more Strong City coming your way! PARTICULARS CAMERA:… Read More »Strong City Elevator
Got a Couple of Couches, Sleep on the Love Seat
Here is a collection of pictures that didn’t make the cut for RUINS in the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. One of the reasons these photos ended up on the loser pile is because I had already used an abandoned train bridge (on the same abandoned right-of-way) in my WATER picture. While… Read More »Got a Couple of Couches, Sleep on the Love Seat
