I think there were a healthy amount of SELF-PORTRAIT submissions this week. I know that submitting a selfie isn’t for everybody, it takes a certain amount of courage or arrogance. Whatever. Not judging. Here are this week’s submissions for SELF-PORTRAIT: Kim Barker Michelle Haupt Angie DeWaard Christopher D. Bennett Bill… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 25 – SELF-PORTRAIT

Here is a collection of images I took for the WEEKLY CHALLENGE, that didn’t make the cut. JUNK, GRAFFITI, MUSIC, and LANDMARK are all included. I’ll try to be better next time.

That includes first time submitter Bill Wentworth! Here are the submissions for TECHNOLOGY: Bill Wentworth Christopher D. Bennett Mike Vest Dustin Jackson Kim Barker Angie… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 23 – TECHNOLOGY
There was a bump in participation this week. Maybe we’ll get another bump next week. I have to confess that I wasn’t able to get the image I wanted this week because the junkyard I was going photograph was snowed over. Which is too bad, even though it is a… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 22 – JUNK
Oooh. This week came dangerously close to the first strike against this project, but then Kim came in with a photo Monday morning. Maybe this was a theme that didn’t ring many bells or maybe it was all the “bad” weather last week. Regardless. Solid work Kim! The submissions for… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 21 – LANDMARK
This week’s theme was MUSIC. There must not many lovers of MUSIC out there as participation took a bit of a dip this week. That is okay, because the submissions were great. Hopefully next week’s theme trips more triggers. The submissions for MUSIC: KIMBERLY BARKER CHRISTOPHER D. BENNETT ANGIE DEWAARD… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 20 – MUSIC

You can look at this collection of losers for RED from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE in a couple of different ways. Either I just wanted an excuse more pictures of my dog. OR Well that is interesting. You see, there is a setting on my camera that drops out all… Read More »With the Beefcake Pantyhose

I told you that BLACK AND WHITE photography was my passion. So… Buckle up buttercup, this is going to be a long one… Sometimes I forget that smack in the middle of Ames is the most beautiful campus in the world. I should really visit it more often. GO STATE!!!
I don’t think that it is a secret to anybody that knows me at all that black and white photography is my true photographic love. And we all know that true love is the greatest thing in the world – except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce, and tomato… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 14 – BLACK AND WHITE

There were a few other RELIGION pictures I took the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE that didn’t make the cut. Thought I’d share a few of those. I don’t know if there will be quite so many losers next week.
I knew this week’s submissions would be a little light with the combination of the theme and the holiday. However, participation didn’t take too much of a hit. Hopefully it will rebound next week. That theme is pretty easy, but does require a bit of effort. This week’s submissions: Kim… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 11 – RELIGION
There was a bit of a falloff in participation this week, but that was to be expected. I fear this week’s theme will really scare people.
