It has been awhile since we checked in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. I figured today was as good of a day as any to check out March before April is over. I’m not sure I did more interesting things in March than I did in February or January where it… Read More »Selfie Project – March
6 days ago another college basketball season sadly came to an end. While it was one of the most exciting tournaments in history, it was bittersweet as the Cyclones were eliminated in the 1st Round. Now anybody that watched Iowa State’s mercurial season knew that there was a good chance… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 15 Final Results
Sometime in late 2008 my organizational process of my photos went all FUBAR. The result is that it appears that I have actually lost several images from late 2008 and early 2009. None of the lost pictures are of much consequence, but it is annoying nonetheless. Part of this breakdown… Read More »12December2008
The grand majority of the pictures from this blog are from the folder 11-23-08, but there is one picture from the folder 11-25-08. The pictures in the folder 11-23-08 are from when Sara, Jay, and I went to see Willy and his friend Kristy run in the Turkey Trot at… Read More »11-23-08 & 11-25-08
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
It is time once again for the greatest sporting event of year. It is that time known as March Madness. The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Once again, I will be sponsoring a pool. There is not cost to enter the pool, except for pride. The winner gets a trophy. The… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 15
The images from the folder 11-1-08 are all over the place. They include pictures of Jesse and I exploring the disc golf course in McHose Park to pictures of Shannon before she made a donation to Locks of Love to pictures of my Hoosier before it got fixed up to… Read More »11-01-08
FACELESS PORTRAIT turned out to be too daunting of a theme for many. Or perhaps the ice cold weather caused many creative juices to freeze up. The good news is that it will actually be ABOVE freezing on Saturday. Of course, we will also get freezing rain, so I guess… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 181 – FACELESS PORTRAIT
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
Loyal leaders may recall that I started up the Selfie Project again in 2019. At the end of every month I will check-in with it to share some of my favorites from the month. If you don’t want to wait until the end of the month, you can follow me… Read More »Selfie Project – January
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
The pictures in the folder 09-28-08 are from the Des Moines Regatta. Back in the day, Jen used to row and her team competed in the Des Moines Regatta. A rowing event on the Des Moines River that ends in Prospect Park. On that day Derrick (duh), Sara, Jay, and… Read More »09-28-08
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
As 2019 comes barreling down upon us like a runaway freight train with a faulty dead man’s switch, I realize I probably have quite a bit of 2018 back log to get through. Back in March I went out to Ledges to watch Willy finish the Ledges leg of the… Read More »Iowa Trail Run – Ledges
