A few weeks back I woke up and saw on Twitter that the Gigglin’ Goat was on fire. So I threw on some clothes and went down and took a few photos. Unfortunately I got there after the most interesting photo opportunities had passed. Next week’s Random Wednesday will be… Read More »Fiery Goat
The New Old (Redux) A few months ago I took some pictures of abandoned signs with the retro setting on my camera. I decided then to revisit this idea with the High Contrast Monochrome setting on my camera. As it turns out, I’m still not totally in love with the… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #124
Remnants I spotted this dilapidated old building on the way to the Rusty Duck. I knew on the way home that I would have to stop and photograph it. This is both the joy and danger of riding in a car with me. The rest of the Remnants Series: If… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #118
I’m known as the tree-hugging environmental whacko in my department of the Computer Mine. I have this title because I don’t hunt, voted for Obama, and want guns to be regulated. Also, I don’t actively hate our environment. I don’t pay much attention to the derision that comes my way… Read More »Turkey Hunt

“Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.” Pablo Picasso Some more pictures from my walk around a half block of downtown Boone. I might have to spend some more time in the seedy back alleys of Boone, Iowa in the future.

For reasons that are slightly inexplicable to me, I ended up in Beaver, Iowa yesterday morning. I’ve always felt that Beaver is a town that looks like it “walked” out of a horror movie. For this reason I once (years and years ago) took a series of pictures called “The… Read More »Welcome to Beaver, Iowa
A couple weekends ago I made a trip to State Center with Teresa and Mom so I could photograph their rose garden. As is frequently the case, they got bored and left me behind so they could go to a gas station. When they came back they told me that… Read More »Flame On

This is not meant to be in any way shape or form meant to be bragging. It is merely meant to be informative, since not everybody makes it to the Boone County Fair. I wanted to enter a couple of pictures in the Boone County Fair “photography contest”. As it… Read More »Boone County Fair
Jesse and I woke up in Coolidge, Arizona and made our way to a local diner for breakfast. This place was certainly McCain Country. We sat at the breakfast counter and listened to a couple locals complain about the governor for “being nice” to Obama. They agreed that the governor… Read More »Arizona Day 4
On Saturday Night I met Jeff and Yin in Des Moines for Supper. Although I was horribly sleepy when I got home on Saturday night two things reinvigorated me. I took a brief 30 minute nap. I watched the Paul Rhoads press conference. It was very refreshing to see a… Read More »Saturday Night

June and Dean are going to be moving from their farm in the near future. I went out there with Jim on Saturday to take a few pictures of the farm before they move. I’ll have to head out there again in couple of weeks and take some more pictures.
On the second day of the trip we headed to a house that hadn’t been touched or mucked. I can’t even describe how this house smelled. Once you opened opened the front door, you could stand across the street and still smell the house, with your mask on. The strange… Read More »Cedar Rapids Trip Day 2
