Sometimes it happens that in my haste to post the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE images I let one slip through the cracks. This week was one of those. Cathie actually submitted two pictures, but I only posted one for VIOLET. Cathie is one of those hardcore one submission I week… Read More »Pufferbilly Days 2022 – Mud Volleyball
This year was the first year I made it to the Pufferbilly Days Parade where I wasn’t in it, since I don’t know when. At least a decade. I decided I better photograph it. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the parade: There is generally nothing I find… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Parade – 2022
Last Saturday before the Iowa State-Baylor football game we rekindled the old tradition known as Taco Tailgate. It was in the new lot (D1), but it was still as great as ever. Here are some Taco Tailgate pictures: We don’t have the most elaborate setup, but we get to tailgate… Read More »Taco Tailgate – 2022
On the Saturday afternoon of Pufferbilly Days I wandered around downtown for a bit. I watched the 1st Annual Mullet and Moustache Contest. I tried to watch the Spike Driving Contest, but the weather was so blazing hot, none of the people that signed up to compete showed up to… Read More »Pufferbilly Days – Saturday Afternoon
I am out and about and on the open road. Nowhere near a computer. Not in any shape to put together a collection of submissions for PATHS. I’m on my own PATH(s) right now. Probably somewhere in southeast Iowa. Depending on how good of time I’m making. I might be… Read More »Week 367 Theme Reveal
I headed up to Pufferbilly Days on the Friday Night to post the People’s Choice Standings. I thought I might get a funnel cake or check out the entertainment center, but I’m not even going to front. The band in there was so bad I had to check out after… Read More »Pufferbilly Days – Car Show
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 Pufferbilly Days event that I photographed was the Pufferbilly Days Dog Show. Technically, it is a pet show, but the only pets that show up are dogs. I mean, it is pretty obvious why nobody enters a cat, but I would think that somebody would enter a guinea pig… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Dog Show
I took a lot more pictures at Pufferbilly Days this year. At least I made the effort. This was for two reasons. One is because I’m going to use these images for the photo project I’m going to move onto after the completion of THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT. The second… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Race

I’m on vacation this week. While I don’t have grand plans for today, it is set aside for errands. If you are reading this, it has taken long enough that I haven’t had time to cobble together this post.

This is a reminder that tomorrow there is a dog and exotic animal pet show for Pufferbilly Days. A person could also enter a cat, but people don’t, cause… cat. I mean, it explains itself. However, I give this reminder with the caveat that it is possible that the Dog… Read More »Selfie Project – July 2022
Today is the last day to enter the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. I will be picking up the entries from the Chamber about 5 PM today. I’m excited to see how many entries we got this year. I know of at least 4 people that have told me they are… Read More »Baby Got Rack – Boone County Fair
It is that time of year where a card comes in the mail that tells you how you did in the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon. My card came last Saturday and I did manage to sneak one picture past the judges to be displayed. Here is what the card… Read More »Osceola County Aux – Vol. 2

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
