That’s Okay Because I Like the Abuse
These pictures didn’t have what it takes for the SMOKE theme of the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: If these poor pictures only believed in themselves, they might be able to accomplish anything!

Ruins
One Burning Desire

I Lost My Nerve
These pictures didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for RURAL for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Perhaps, some of them are just me playing with new camera settings: I don’t know. Maybe if these images just believed in themselves, they could accomplish something… something great.
Black & White Reveal Rejects
I’ve never revealed the rejects for a Monday reveal picture before. Mostly because the pictures are usually just a quick snapshot of something that fits the theme to be revealed. However, I really like some of the photos that I didn’t use for revealing BLACK & WHITE as this week’s… Read More »Black & White Reveal Rejects
Agua. Por Dios.
I’ve always had an affinity for water towers. Sometimes I like to photograph them. Captured this one in Luther on a foggy December morning.

The Canvas Wall
The 9 Emotions Project Wall is no more. The 9 16×20 photos are gone. Technically they are stacked in the guest bedroom until I figure out what I’m going to do them. I’ve replaced them with 9 16×20 canvases to diversify the pictures on my wall and I have this… Read More »The Canvas Wall
06-24-07
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
