Seems like a good time to clean up all the pictures from March that I haven’t shared before. There is still one more collection, but I’m going to keep those for myself I think. I don’t keep many for myself, dang exhibitionist tendencies, but those I think I will. Some… Read More »And Your Favorite Songs by Heart

This morning’s post is a collection of some rando photos I took across a couple of days. A couple are of Naima, but most are taken in the Boone County Hospital Pond. Feels like we are getting down to the nitty-gritty of the 2019 backlog. But there are still some… Read More »Raggle-Taggle
Another post hitting up the 2019 backlog. This post is a collection of a few different photo outings, but perhaps none of them had enough pictures to have their own post. Some pictures are flowers from my Grandma’s house. Then there are some pictures from the Youth Group Pool Party.… Read More »Piebald
I took Thursday and Friday off this week to watch basketball. Obviously there is no basketball right now. There is no basketball for at least a month and there is no NCAA Tournament this year at all. I wasn’t sure if I was going to still take these two days… Read More »I Don’t Know Why You’re Mean to Me
I was worried that the global pandemic might squash participation this week with WATER. It would have been a minor price to pay for people hunkering down and being safe. Although, there are few better activities when social distancing than a little photography. But you didn’t come here to listen… Read More »WPC – WEEK 235 – WATER
Today’s entry is a collection of random May images from last year. Some are from a trip to Dickcissel with Naima. One is a horrible green screen experiment. There is a picture of Jason from when we put my mom’s ceiling back together. Last year my Mom’s ceiling fell on… Read More »70% Playing with Stuff
I would be remiss if I didn’t start out this post to saying Happy Veteran’s Day. I don’t have a photo to back up these sentiment, so instead, let me remind you that veterans often struggle greatly when they leave the military. The suicide rate for veterans of 35 per… Read More »WPC – WEEK 217 – ORANGE
I have recently had a battle in my head and in my wallet. I knew I wanted to purchase a new camera that was something like an action cam, only so much more. It has the qualities of say a GoPro, but the image quality is vastly superior. The amount… Read More »The New New
Naima likes to walk in water. Naima doesn’t swim, unless forced. She doesn’t enjoy it. But she loves tromping around in water. I decided to try to grab a picture of her tromping around in water, from underwater. It didn’t work out that well because the place we go so… Read More »Naima Underwater Test
By the time this gets published, I’ll probably be making the trudge up Expo Hill towards the Cultural Building to pick up my photos from the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon. If you didn’t get a chance to duck into the Cultural Building to check out my photos, that is… Read More »The Howards: 2016 – Chapter 1
This is your reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is NIGHT: NIGHT! A NIGHT photograph is literally any photo taken at NIGHT. Happy photo harvesting! +++++++ Back on Memorial Day I headed over to the Sharp residence to take a picture for Page 38 of THE… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 38
Since I have a very large backlog currently, I’m going to post an entry to AN ARTIST’S NOTEBOOK on Sundays until that backlog gets cleaned up quite a bit. This picture is the latest entry into the THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. This time there was no photo assistant. Just me… Read More »A PHOTO JOURNAL – HENRY CARROLL – PAGE 10
The final NATURE stop I made was to Lake Augstin. Here are those pictures: Our run in with a snapping turtle reminds me of a story from my childhood. One day a snapping turtle showed up in the driveway of my first boyhood home. In my mind it was tied… Read More »Then I Wonder How Much I Can Spend
A few weeks back I went to McHose Park and experiment a little bit with underwater photography. Here are a few of the photos from the experiment: I’ll need to effort to do some more experiments before the water gets too chilly!
I actually made two trips out to McHose Park to attempt to create my WATER image for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Loyal followers of my Instagram account know what happened during my first effort. Therefore, no reason to bring that up again. I took more than 1 photo while I… Read More »And I’m Out to Cut the Junkie
Barb and her son made great guinea pigs for the first underwater photo bag shots. It was a good thing we ran into them at Joe’s pool.
