Time to share the rest of the images from when Carla, Teresa, and I went Oskaloosa to check out the largest and oldest Christmas Lighted Parade in Iowa. I’m afraid the pictures don’t really do it justice. If you ever have a chance to check it out, I would highly… Read More »Oskaloosa Christmas Lighted Parade – II
This is the final collection of images I took while harvesting the town signs of Des Moines & Louisa County.

Also, and not unrelated, there is a stop on the… Read More »Des Moines & Louisa County Aux. – Vol. 5
Last year before Christmas Teresa, Carla, and I went to Oskaloosa for their lighted Christmas Parade. It is the largest and oldest parade of its kind in Iowa. The show downtown Oskaloosa puts on with their lights does not disappoint. I have one more collection of images from this parade.

Time for the 4th collection of images from my road trip to harvest the town signs of Des Moines & Louisa County.

Several weeks back I went to the Ames Food Truck Park to get lunch during another arduous day at the Computer Mine. The Food Truck seems to me mostly empty during the work week, but on this day there was a food truck there by the name of Chicago Treats.… Read More »Food Truckin’: Ames Food Truck Park Field Work
Time for the final collection of pictures from my work trip to Chicago for the Computer Mine. Day 6 was the last day of The Big Convention.

Like the first two galleries, most of these pictures were taken from Old-30 east of Boone of artwork painted on the side of railroad cars. However there are a couple pieces that were… Read More »Boone Art Center Gallery Three

Tuesday has traditionally been the day I share images from Rodan139, but frankly I’m currently out of Rodan139 photos to share. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to take some more. My schedule this week with both work and getting free 3-D sculpted Iowa State artwork and hopefully trying… Read More »Des Moines & Louisa County Aux. – Vol. 1
Time for a second collection of images from THE BOONE ART CENTER GALLERY PROJECT. Once again, all of these images were taken slightly east of Boone on Old-30. I’m not sure when I will have enough images to share a third gallery, but I bet it won’t be too long.
I never actually cracked out the “real” camera on Day 4 of my work trip to Chicago. It was the first day of the Big Convention and it was a 13 hour work day. It was also by far the busiest day in the Computer Mine Booth, so I didn’t… Read More »The Windy City: Day 4 & 5 Phone Pictures

I have a confession to make here. When I decided to combine cell phone pictures with the “real” camera pictures into the same posts, I would have made my life a lot easier if I had realized that I hadn’t changed the clock settings on my camera after Daylight Savings… Read More »The Windy City: Day 3C
Another chance to clean up the backlog. These pictures were taken in October of last year but never really fit into any “An Artist’s Notebook” entries. Some were alternate images for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Some, I just took when I was out and about. Always feels good to get… Read More »But I Don’t Think That’s True
Time for the second collection of images from Day 3 of my work trip to Chicago. The final day of any real photography… for the most part. The rest of the days were filled with work… boring work. When we left off, Lowell was feeding birds in a park street… Read More »THE WINDY CITY: DAY 3B
