Now that the 2018 backlog is mercifully behind us, it seems like a good time to check back in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. The 2019 version of THE SELFIE PROJECT has almost ran its course. I won’t repeat it in 2020, but maybe I’ll bring it back in 2021. We’ll… Read More »Selfie Project – November
HIGH PERSPECTIVE proved to be a highly unpopular theme. That is the bad news. The good news is that by skin of its teeth, HIGH PERSPECTIVE had double digit submissions, to run the streak of double digit submission to eleven! Woot! Woot! My best prognostication is that the streak will… Read More »WPC – WEEK 221 – HIGH PERSPECTIVE
In the 2018 backlog, I found another collection of pictures I took at an Iowa State women’s basketball game. I decided to post them, to make sure, all of you understand that Bridget Carleton is the GOAT. Bridge Carleton also: #1 & #5 Scoring Seasons – 760 + 594 #1… Read More »GOAT II (No Actual Goats in this Post)
Hitting up the the 2018 backlog with some pictures I took of the Iowa State-Drake women’s basketball game. I think I took these pictures for a SPORTS theme week for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. I’m glad that I did, because I got some pictures of probably the best player in… Read More »GOAT
Sometimes these Saturday walks down memory lane that are part of a restoration project of old blog posts, takes a completely unexpected turn. The images in the folder 2009-07-15 contains a couple of those pictures. In there are pictures of Sara and a sparkler. Then there are pictures of lilies.… Read More »2009-07-15
A couple Saturdays back a few of us gathered in lot G6 for the sacred ritual that is known as Taco Tailgate. It was almost an entirely different crew than what usually shows up. Houlihan. No show. Joe. No show. Rachel. No show. Who did show up? Jorge. Taco Master!… Read More »Taco Tailgate – 2019
The pictures from the folder 2009-06-29 are mostly from a softball game between Alexis’ team and a team coached by Jesse and Lowell. I assume Alexis’ team won the game because of… Bennett genetics. There are some pictures of Larry Howard in this post. Larry passed away earlier this year.… Read More »2009-06-29
The pictures in the folder are mostly from a Little League game I attended that was coached by Jesse and Lowell. It doesn’t appear that I ever published those pictures before. There are a couple of pictures of the Garden of Eden that is my backyard. Grapes, raspberries, garlic, and… Read More »2009-06-23
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
The pictures in the folder 2009-05-10 are from a Mother’s Day Celebration. I think it is the first family celebration I hosted at my current abode. Might have been one of the last. I don’t know that I will ever host one again because my house is on the smaller… Read More »2009-05-10
The pictures in the folder 2009-05-06 are of Shannon paying off a wager that she lost… to me. I feel bad calling it a wager, because she didn’t really stand much of a chance of winning. Well she had one chance when I think about it. We wagered on the… Read More »2009-05-06
This is my final collection of RAGBRAI pictures from last year when RAGBRAI passed through Boone. Now that I’ve published last year’s RAGBRAI photos it is time to hit the backlog and publish pictures from last year’s balloon festival.
It is well established that my favorite theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is BLACK & WHITE. Therefore I took several BLACK & WHITE pictures in the last week and not just the picture of Taylan that I used as my submission for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Here are a… Read More »Available as Another Possibility
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
As the 2019 RAGBRAI continues to wind its way across Iowa, now seems like a good time to publish more pictures from the 2018 backlog of when RAGBRAI passed through Boone.
