Last Saturday when I decided to go see Bernie Sanders, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to knock off Page 112 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. Bernie Sanders was speaking at the Sun Room at the Memorial Union at noon, which gave me the perfect opportunity to get… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 112
For what I think is the 4th week in a row double digit submissions were received for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE them of GREEN. We are on quite a roll! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came here to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 190 – GREEN
I can’t say that I’m particularly proud of this picture. It isn’t exactly in my wheelhouse. If I thought about it more, it is something I would’ve had Jay help with. But I’m committed to not getting too hung up on quality and forging ahead and finishing off THE PHOTO… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 113
Yet another solid week of submissions! DESSERT hit double digits in submission making it, at least a few weeks in a row of double digit submissions. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You cam to see the submissions: Robyn Augustin Shannon… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 189 – DESSERT
Last Saturday Logan stopped by to show me his super sweet gimbal and to borrow my Rode microphone to see if it is something that he wanted to add one to his arsenal in the future. I hadn’t actually touched the Rode in probably 4 or 5 years. I guess… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 32
A couple weekends back up I went to Minnesota to check out the Final Four festivities and check-in with a few people I hadn’t seen for a long time. On Sunday morning I hit a donut shop with Becca and Shawn. Then I went to Minnehaha Falls to kill sometime… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 90
The weather last week was all over the place in Central Iowa. Beautiful one day. Windy enough to blow down one side of the Burger King garbage corral the next. Then beautiful again. Then a few snow flurries the next. Then beautiful again. While the weather was all over the… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 187 – FAVORITE COLOR
Another solid week of participation! I think the most exciting development is a submission for the first time from Jen Ensley-Gorshe! She isn’t even an email subscriber! Perhaps she will become the latest person to show taste, class, and sophistication by becoming the latest Photography 139 email subscriber. Only time… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 186 – TOOL
Last Saturday I continued on my goal to try to finish THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT as Joe agreed to pose for Page 82. Before you ask, yes, Joe legitimately think the world is flat. Not only does he believe that the world is flat, he is an evangelical for the… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 82
The high submission rate hit a second straight week. If we get a third week that is called a streak. If we get a streak going, we might just force a one game playoff with the Yankees where our catcher calls his shot but it is a fake and he… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 185 – WATER
Spring has sprung! The new warmer weather has caused the creative juices to start salivating for all sorts of people. I’m saying it was a good week for participation. In fact, Mike Vest came out of retirement this week. Those of you that are long in the tooth with this… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 184 – STILL LIFE
One of the new traditions that Pastor Doug brought with him to Boone First United Methodist Church is Critter Sunday. Critter Sunday is a Sunday when you are encouraged to bring your pet to church. Then in between services, Pastor Doug blesses your pet. There are many things that I… Read More »You Don’t Have Time to Scream!
I believe that the submissions for FORMAL PORTRAIT are amongst the most solid collection of submissions we’ve had in a long time for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about the submissions. You came to see the submissions: Kim Barker… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 183 – FORMAL PORTRAIT
I feel it has been too long since I have had a post devoted to Naima. This is an error that I will correct today. These pictures come from an October trip to Dickcissel Park. Naima does enjoy getting in the water at Dickcissel, but she will only go as… Read More »The Driving Force
FACELESS PORTRAIT turned out to be too daunting of a theme for many. Or perhaps the ice cold weather caused many creative juices to freeze up. The good news is that it will actually be ABOVE freezing on Saturday. Of course, we will also get freezing rain, so I guess… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 181 – FACELESS PORTRAIT
Today’s post is somewhat more of an advertisement than informational or even photographical. This is me telling you what you should do for supper next Wednesday. The Youth Group will be making and serving spaghetti next Wednesday night before our Ash Wednesday Service. The cost of eating delicious spaghetti is… Read More »Get Your Ash!
I took a few alternate TRANSPORTATION pictures for last week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. All of these were taken with the new drone. There will be a more comprehensive blog on the drone if it ever warms up and I get to actually make some videos and what-not. I don’t know… Read More »Transportation – Alternate
A great week of participation for the theme TRANSPORTATION. Despite the blizzard or perhaps because of the blizzard a lot of people got some great TRANSPORTATION photos. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions: Christopher D.… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 180 – TRANSPORTATION
We gave her a hug. Loaded back up in the rental and left Waco profoundly changed in a way that is hard to figure. My best guess is that it would be the way you would change if you saw the Vietnam War Memorial with a veteran of the Vietnam… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: Alamo Bowl
Another week with subpar participation despite being perhaps the easiest theme of this set of 52. Weather I’m sure contributed. This week central Iowa is supposed to get two more snowstorms, so we’ll see how many people struggle through the elements for this week’s theme. But you didn’t come her… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 179 – SELF-PORTRAIT
I still need to circle back to the Alamo Bowl Trip, but thought I would share more from my project of re-organizing some photos that pre-date the Photography 139 website. I’m actually going through a big photography re-organization in general. One of the photographers I follow on Instagram recently shared… Read More »Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2005
