Welcome to the 3,500th entry in “An Artist’s Notebook”. The blog portion of my Photography 139 website. It has been along time since I first took keyboard hand sitting in the old Computer Mine setup or possibly in my Mom’s basement, because that is where my life was at that… Read More »An Artist’s Notebook Post #3,500
This is final collection of pictures of College GameDay in Ames. It includes pictures of douche country “celebrity” Eric Church. There are also a couple pictures from the Iowa State-Iowa game. I didn’t take many pictures because I have pretty much given up on taking pictures at Iowa State games.… Read More »College Ames Day – Part III
One thing I can tell you about being at College GameDay is that it is almost impossible to actually watch the show when you are there. Lee, Kirk, Rece, and Desmond have their back to the crowd and there is so much equipment around them that you can’t really see… Read More »College Ames Day Part II
I was able to make it to College Game Day on Saturday morning. I left my car at Jen and Derrick’s and Derrick dropped me off at The Jack on his way to work. The crowd was already a pretty good size by 7:45. I can say that College GameDay… Read More »College Ames Day – Part I
I really wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make it to College Ames Day, so the Friday night before I went over to at least check out the set. At the time I was walking around the set, ESPN had yet to announce who was going to… Read More »College Ames Day Eve
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY proved to be an extremely unpopular theme, like I predicted. Not only did hardly anybody try this theme, only one person took on my added challenge of taking the picture in black & white as a tribute to the late great Robert Frank. Thanks Jen! The streak of… Read More »WPC – WEEK 210 – STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
On Saturday, the Iowa State Cyclones opened their season by thrashing an upstart team from Cedar Falls. The referees tried valiantly to keep the Purple Hawks in the game by awarding them 2 touchdowns they didn’t earn. The first was an incomplete pass that UNI “recovered” and returned for a… Read More »Iowa State 29 Northern Iowa 26
There aren’t many pictures in the folder 2009-04-11, so I’m publishing photos from the folder 2009-04-20. The pictures from the folder 2009-04-11 are from when Derrick and Jen moved into their new house. They moved about a month after I moved. They have since moved again. I have not. They… Read More »2009-04-11 & 2009-04-20
The pictures from the folder 11-15-08 are from the final home game in Iowa State’s Gene Chizik era. I can still remember the afternoon I head that Chizik was leaving for Auburn. I was driving around with Jason looking at potential houses when the rumors came across the radio. We… Read More »11-15-08
The pictures in the folder called 10-27-08 are from Brandon’s Senior Night playing football for dear old Boone High. Attending that football match against the worst town in Iowa (Ballard)* was the first time I had attended a Boone High football game since I graduated from the jewel of Iowa’s… Read More »10-27-08
We gave her a hug. Loaded back up in the rental and left Waco profoundly changed in a way that is hard to figure. My best guess is that it would be the way you would change if you saw the Vietnam War Memorial with a veteran of the Vietnam… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Alamo Bowl
There are 2 types of pictures in the folder called 10-26-08. Some are from Iowa State’s game with Texas A&M. The second type are pictures from a Suffrage Parade re-enactment that took place in Boone in 2008. Perhaps you don’t know that Boone was (possibly) the site of the first… Read More »10-26-08
I still need to circle back to the Alamo Bowl Trip, but thought I would share more from my project of re-organizing some photos that pre-date the Photography 139 website. I’m actually going through a big photography re-organization in general. One of the photographers I follow on Instagram recently shared… Read More »Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2005
The pictures in the folder 10-19-08 are from the Iowa State-Nebraska football game in 2008. One of the head coaches in the game would go on to win a national championship. The other coach… looks like he got exiled to someplace called Youngstown, Ohio. Looking through these pictures, it does… Read More »10-19-08
You might think this post really belongs on Saturday as it is a bit of a walk down memory lane, but these images were never really posted to “An Artist’s Notebook” until today. I came across this collection of photos when I was looking for different photos as I’m trying… Read More »Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2006
The pictures in the folder called 10-04-08 are from the Iowa State-Kansas football game in 2008. It is a little known fact to many (in the state of Kansas) that the University of Kansas even has a football team. They even had a brief amount of success when they were… Read More »10-04-08
Last week Jesse and I hopped in a rental car and headed to San Antonio to watch the Iowa State Cyclones play against the Washington State Cougars and the worst refereeing crew from the Big Ten in the Alamo Bowl. While the game didn’t turn out the way that we… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip – Phonetos
The images in the folder 09-23-08 are a little bit all over the place. There are pictures from a Little White Lye Soap sales event. Pictures from Alexis reveling in athletic glory. Plus a sticker given to me by Janice. Finally a strange sculpture that I think is uniquely Midwestern.… Read More »09-23-08
Before we dig into the meat of this blog, I should point out that I’m (hopefully) in San Antonio right now. Getting ready to root for the Cyclones against the Washington State Cougars in the Alamo Bowl. You should definitely sit down and root the Cyclones to victory. The game… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 13
The pictures in the folder named 09-07-08 are from the 2008 Iowa State-Kent State football game. Iowa State won the game to go 2-0 on the season. Here are some pictures from the folder: Looking at some of these old pictures from 2008 makes me really miss when Willy and… Read More »09-07-08
The pictures in the folder called 08-29-08 are from the Iowa State-South Dakota State game in 2008. Unlike this year’s South Dakota State game, it didn’t get cancelled due to weather. It wouldn’t go on to cost us wins over Iowa and TCU. But that is another subject! Here are… Read More »08-29-08
