Kentucky Vacation Thrice

Sorry this is a few hours late. I’ve had some car issues that have caused be to wobble slightly.

I know how many people are anxiously awaiting to see another collection of my photos from my Kentucky vacation. People stop me on the streets all the time wanting more information about the trip. The good news for them is that there are more pictures coming their way, right about now…


Next week’s Wednesday will include even more Kentuckiness. Including a look at the Dukes of Hazzard Museum!

Garden of the Gods

The first order of business is to welcome Micky Augustin aboard as the latest person to show class, taste, and sophistication by signing up for a email subscription to the online journal of Photography 139.

Everybody say: “Hi Micky!”

These images were taken in a national forest in Illinois in an area known as the Garden of the Gods.

Yea, I fell down. But I protected the camera and finished the trail. A lesser man would have been foiled.

Kentucky Mini Vacation – Phone Edition

A few week backs I went to Kentucky with Teresa and Logan to visit Ernie. Here are a few pictures from that trip from the phone:



Tom’s Pancake House and Restaurant


Somewhere I made a great joke about a pancake cooking a pancake, but nobody has enjoyed it, so I will deny you its greatness!


The Browse-A-Bout – Greatest Name Ever?


There was also a great penis joke I made when I posted this to Instagram, but once again, I’ll refrain…


This is what passes for chocolate milk in Kentucky.


The ferry across the Ohio River.


The Garden of the Gods


Buzzard Rock Marina


I actually did!


The Grand Ole Opry


Ernie’s Hat. Ernie has a small head.


Loveless Cafe=Excellence


Antique Archaeology in Nashville was quite the disappontment.

Next week’s Wednesday randomness will be another Instagram dump.

Personal Photo Project of the Week #99

I only had time last year to make a handful of calendars. If you didn’t get a calendar this year, I am sorry. I only had one left and I gave it to Nader because he actually called and asked for one. If somebody begged I suppose I could print another one off, but who would want a calendar that is almost 25% useless?

Here are the images from this years Photography 139 Calendar:

As usual, Mike Vest helped finish up the calendars with his hole punching and binding skills. Thanks Mike!

Iowa Gothic

Jesse and I went on a road trip a ways back. Here are some images from that trip, provided with the occasional commentary.



I love the fact that “Loafing” was prohibited.


I had to have this picture taken as 1 of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies (Taxi Driver) is when Robert DeNiro takes his date to the porn theater because he doesn’t know any better.


The chick that ran this place was awesome & I think we were her favorite guests of the day.


There aren’t enough buildings in Iowa that are marked where a ship ran into them.


Tebow!


Anybody who knows the exact reason why we stopped to take this picture is one of my favorite people in the world.

I am already looking forward to our next road trip. Maybe a couple more people will join us. If interested, forward your Road Tripping Resume to me. We will be looking for people with a sense of adventure and a large bladder. The bladder size is negotiable.
