A post on 11/11 that published at 11:11 AM (Central Time)? What does it mean? Absolutely nothing. Numerology is as much nonsense astrology and almost as much nonsense as trickle down economics. But nothing is as much nonsense as trickle down economics. But happy Veterans Day. I don’t have a… Read More »Renaissance Faire – Joust
Last Saturday was the first Iowa State football game of the season. Signifying the beginning of fall and the end of summer. Iowa State bested their FCS opponent 42-10. But I didn’t actually take any pictures of the game. I’m a littlestitious when it comes to taking a camera into… Read More »Iowa State 42 SEMO 10
Another month done in the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. Think there is some good work in there this week. Having so much going on in August certainly helped. We’ll see how September goes. Here are the August images: August 1 – I AM… August 2 – I… Read More »FAT MUM SLIM – AUGUST 2022
A quick heads up. If you were thinking of going to or entering an animal into the Pufferbilly Days Dog and Exotic Animal Show, because of the extreme heat of today it was postponed. It is now tomorrow at noon at the park on 9th and Story. +++++++ I have… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – July 2022
This is the final collection of images I’m going to share from my work trip to Miami Beach. It begins with more pictures of the Holocaust Memorial and ends with pictures taken around my hotel. The first image shared here is probably my favorite picture I took on this trip.… Read More »Miami Beach – Day 5 – A7II – Dos
Trending back to Day 5 of my Computer Mine trip to Miami Beach. This was the only day I got to do much photography. We actually left the convention center at a decent time. We had an appetizer party hosted by the sales team that I attended, but then I… Read More »Miami Beach – Day 5 – A7II – Uno
In this post I am going to share pictures I took with the A7II on Days 3 and 6 of my work trip to Miami Beach. I did not crack out the camera at all on Day 4. On Day 5, I actually got away for a bit and took… Read More »Miami Beach – Day 3 and Day 6 – A7II
On Day 2 of my trip to Miami Beach for the Computer Mine I had a little bit of free time in the evening to do a little street photography in the blocks around our hotel. One of the first things I learned was it would take 10 minutes (at… Read More »Miami Beach – Day 2 – A7II
At 7 AM on my birthday I loaded up on to a plane and flew to Miami Beach for the annual Computer Mine Convention. It is the biggest convention of the year for Computer Mine customers. They don’t come just to see us, but they come to see our competitors… Read More »CMC – Miami Beach
I should start by wishing everybody a Merry Christmas, so Merry Christmas! The June image in the 2022 Photography 139 Calendar is of an old grain elevator (or something similar) in Pioneer, Iowa. Tomorrow I will share the July image from the 2022 Photography 139 Calendar. +++++++ This is yet… Read More »NYC – Six
Here is another collection of images from my trip to New York City with Jesse. It wasn’t exactly to visit my cousin Sarah, but that was really the highlight of the trip. By adding these pictures to the Photography 139 Gallery, I was able to restore the following historic “An… Read More »NYC – Five
Here is another collection of images from my trip to New York City I took with Jesse. This collection is a bit more random. Some are taken on Liberty Island. The rest are kind of random. I hope if you ever make it to New York City, you have as… Read More »NYC – Four
The pictures in this collection are in a folder called New York City. These pictures are from a trip I took with Jesse to visit my cousin Sarah and her beau Tim. They live in Manhattan. We made this trip in 2011 and I thought that I’d probably go out… Read More »NYC – One
As I’ve indicated before, the 2011 folders are a disaster. These images cover most of the March 2011 folders. These are mostly pictures that were taken for the RANDOM WEEKLY PHOTO EXPERIMENT (now called THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE), but a few were taken for a PERSONAL PHOTO PROJECT. By adding… Read More »March Misc.
We did it people! 42 straight weeks of double digit submissions. It only took the slightest bit of prodding this morning. WooHoo! 43 straight weeks should be easy as falling off a log. Or so I’m told. I’ve never fallen off a log. But you didn’t come here to listen… Read More »WPC – WEEK 253 – NIGHT
After the game we went back to the hotel and took a nap. Well some of us took a nap. Some of us might have scrolled through Cyclone Twitter while everybody else napped. Once the batteries were recharged, we went to a Brazilian Steakhouse that Jorge knew about. It was… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Day 3 – Alligators
Day 3 was the only day we spent entirely in Orlando. It was one full day too many. Orlando is flat out one of the worst cities I’ve ever visited. It is dirty. It is poorly laid out. There is no culture. There is no music. There is no historical… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Day 3 – The Game
This is the final collection of pictures from my trip to the Minnesota State Fair with Bethany, Becca, Jonah, and Shawn. These are the cruddy cell phone pictures. One thing that I found disappointing when I went back and looked at these is that I didn’t take pictures of my… Read More »Minnesota State Fair – Pixel Pictures
Here is the final collection of Minnesota State Fair pictures that came from a real camera. This highlight being pictures of Becca and Jonah going down the giant slide. A secondary highlight is the extremely creepy statue right next to the giant slide. The final place we visited before calling… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #3
In this second collection of pictures from my trip to the Minnesota State Fair with Bethany, Becca, Jonah, and Shawn, I reveal a picture of the All You Can Drink Milk Stand. It is a good half mile, at least from the famous cookie place. There are also a couple… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #2
14 work days of working from home in the books. I think the last time I indicated that I was starting to get a system going. Now I can say that I’m starting to get comfortable working from home. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I’ll pumped when… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #1
