The world wasn’t ready for these MACRO pictures for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE on Monday. I’m not sure that the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer: The grand majority of these pictures were taken in my back yard. The first seven were… Read More »Season ‘Em, Put ‘Em on a Beat with Me, Then I’m Eating ‘Em
The pictures in the folder 10-31-07 display both a terrifying display of brute strength and a terrifying display of Halloween costumes. By dusting off these pictures and adding them to the current Smugmug Photo Gallery, I was able to restore the following blog posts: COSTUMES HP LASERJET 4100 I have… Read More »10-31-2017
I recently picked up a new set of toys: Extension Tubes. I don’t have a picture of the tubes themselves, but I do have a collection of pictures from the from the first test run. Have a look: I don’t have a picture of the extension tubes, but if you… Read More »Yet Another New Toy
There were only a handful of pictures of note in the folder 10-12-07: Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve Iowa State football and some surprising tailgate photos!
This is your WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE reminder that I will be SAD if you forget that this week’s theme is SAD: SAD! You don’t have to be SAD to take a SAD picture. In fact, a good SAD photo can make me happy! Happy photo harvesting!

Here they be: Bill Wentworth Christopher D. Bennett Angie DeWaard Cathie Raley 1 Cathie Raley 2 Cathie… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 95 – FLOWER
Last year’s Battle for the Cup came down to a tie again this year. Instead of having a rigged turtle race to determine The Witch, the two tied combatants decided to roll with an old fashioned Pie In Your Face competition. Here are a few pictures from the battle: Michelle… Read More »Pie in Micky’s Face
I believe all the flowers in the folder 07-05-07 belonged to Jen and Derrick. Next week’s folder will involve a sword.
Once again, I did the photos for the Computer Mine Holiday Card. Here are a few of my favorite pictures, but probably not the ones that made the card: Always a pleasure photographing my super-cooperative co-workers!

This dump of photos from the backlog are from when Micky and I delivered some crates for work to this group of people forming some kind of art thing in the old grain elevator in west Ames. It was my favorite day of work all year! The place was falling… Read More »Backlog Photo Dump: Reliable Street
One of the things that sucks about the shift I work is that I leave for work while the sun is rising (at this time of year). One of the things that is awesome about when I leave for work is that I leave for work while the sun is… Read More »Jordan Sunrise
A couple Saturdays back I traveled to America’s crossroads: Colo, Iowa to take place in a turtle race that I have dubbed The Colo Derby. My noble steed Titian dominated the competition, but on that day, it would NOT only be the turtles that smelled fishy. If you get what… Read More »The Colo Derby

The next two folders are pretty small so I combined them. 03-04-07 & 03-07-07 Man. I’m not aging well. Back to the March 2007 folders next Saturday.
I’ve went through a myriad of unsuccessful organizational schemes over the years, but I’m lost why in a folder that goes by the name “02-15-07 Work Walk” there are only two images and neither one has anything to do with work. I’m guessing even less to do with 02-15-07. Well.… Read More »02-15-07 Work Walk
Not everybody can be a winner. Like people who get really angry about Participant ribbons. Those people aren’t winners. These pictures are the people-who-get-mad-about-Participant-ribbons of the FOOD theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Submitted with bits of commentary. What I eat for breakfast about every Saturday. Because I like to… Read More »With the Plastic Eyeballs
We recently held an auction at the Computer Mine. The one thing in the auction that I really coveted was a blue Canon A4000 IS. I’m not a Canon guy at all. However, I’ve been sans point and shoot for a couple years now and there are times (like mission… Read More »New Toy
I didn’t get a short story done last week. So hopefully I will get two done this week or the next or the week after. Parrot A short story By Christopher D. Bennett (This story is autobiographical, but exaggerated for feeling, rather than being 100% factual. Or look at it… Read More »Parrot
Feel like revisiting my Instagram account. It has been a long, long, time. Obviously, if you follow me on Instagram, like a boss, you’ve already experienced these. A few of my favorites: That was fun! We’ll have to do that again sometime!
The rest of the pictures from my phone from the last couple of months. Once again, if you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen most of these already. Carry on! First time playing BINGO with Jill. After watching MONTAGE OF HECK, I listened to a ton of Nirvana… Read More »Phonetos Vol. 2
