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.

Several weeks back I went to the Ames Food Truck Park to get lunch during another arduous day at the Computer Mine.

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.

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
