I went to the Women’s March a few weeks back. I couldn’t stay for very long because I had 1 PM tickets for the Iowa State Cyclones beatdown of the #8 Texas Tech Red Raiders. So I showed up early hoping other people would show up early. On my walk… Read More »When I Meet Thomas Jefferson I’m ‘A Compel Him to Include Women in the Prequel!
I went up to Minnesota for the Super Bowl. Well, not really for the Super Bowl, but more for the activities surrounding the Super Bowl. I can’t afford a ticket to the Super Bowl. I work at the Computer Mine, not Goldman Sachs or some other place populated by white… Read More »I Left You by the House of Fun
Finally finding some spare time to get the submissions for last week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE published. The theme was JEALOUSY: Tamara Peterson Kim Barker Kim Barker Christopher D. Bennett But enough dwelling on the past. Time to look to the future. We are all interested in the future, for that… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 125 – JEALOUSY
I went to Minnesota for the weekend, but I’m not sure I’ll be back in time for the traditional Weekly Photo Challenge Reveal. If you are seeing this blog, I didn’t. But you can start working on next week: SMALL TOWN! SMALL TOWN! What a great theme!
Now is probably a good time to share a few more photos from my trip to South Dakota with my Mom. These pictures are from the Iron Mountain Road: If you ever visit the Black Hills, I would strongly recommend the Iron Mountain Road. You travel through 3 tunnels that… Read More »Iron Mountain Road
The following pictures are from the folder called 03-07-08: By adding these images to the Photography 139 Gallery, I was able to restore the following blog to its original glory: SCREWED UP PRIORITIES Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve a band that I’m 95% sure doesn’t exist any… Read More »03-07-08
A reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is JEALOUSY: JEALOUSY! I consider this theme to be the hardest of this 52 week set. A photo of JEALOUSY would be a picture of somebody expressing JEALOUSY or something that makes you personal JEALOUS(Y). Happy photo harvesting!
Another time to hit up the backlog. These pictures I took on May 8: It was these last few photos that lead to the Great Jake Sullivan Failure.
I recently visited my nephew Logan at his internship at KWBG to check out his digs. Took a couple pictures too: It is possible that some of these photos were staged. It is also possible that some of them aren’t. It is Schrodinger’s pictures, only it isn’t.
More alternatives for COLORFUL that the world couldn’t handle on Monday. I’m hoping it can handle them now: Most of these photos were taken at Boone First United Methodist Church. A few were taken in the campustown area of Ames. The pictures of Naima were taken in the Photography 139… Read More »Them Photogs, They Coming Up on Me; I Cut Off the Ladder, And I Told ‘Em,”Bye-Bye”
The world wasn’t ready for these COLORFUL pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world can handle them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer: All of these photos were taken at Boone First United Methodist Church. Many of them with an in-camera special effect. More of these… Read More »This Ladder of Photography I Climbed; I Took the Machete; The Game Isn’t Ready
A pretty decent amount of people had their creative bell rung by COLORFUL. At least that is what I will tell myself to get to sleep tonight. But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions: ANDY SHARP… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 124 – COLORFUL
While I was working on “Friday’s” blog post, it occurred to me that perhaps it was time to share my biggest photographic screw-up of 2017. I have many weaknesses as a photographer. My greatest weakness is that I have a tendency to dink with camera settings. That isn’t the bad… Read More »Forgive Me for My Human Frailty
The following pictures were in the folder 03-01-08 even though most of them seem to be from July of 2007. The last picture is of my Grandpa Paris’ 1979 Iowa State football season ticket. Some of these pictures were taken at the Boone County Fair, some at McHose Park, some… Read More »03-01-08

Still hammering away at that back log. Here are a few pictures from my trip to Algona with Joe. We went to Algona so Joe could pick up a van to server as a distribution center for his cannabis oil business. The trip didn’t work out. We didn’t come home… Read More »Algona is an Anagram for Analog
A bit from the old backlog. These pictures were taken on July 20. The zinnias were photographed in my very own Photography 139 Flower Garden. The garage sale pictures were from my Grandma’s somewhat controversial garage sale. I think that is the spin doctor way to describe the garage sale.… Read More »Zinnia Sale
As you become aged, you get invited to less and less parties. I think I was invited to 3 toddler birthday parties and 1 anniversary party last year. I think that was it. My entire social calendar for 2017. The anniversary party was for the parents of Sara and Steven… Read More »Happy Anniversary Juncks!
On Monday the world wasn’t ready for these FOOD pictures. I’m not sure the world is ready for them yet, but I can’t hold them back any longer: Most of the FOOD pictures were taken at the concession stand at dear old Boone High School. I worked a shift there… Read More »Y’all Better Watch It, Take A Look at Where the Clock Is, It’s My Time!
There was a healthy participation rate this week for FOOD, but I have to confess that I thought it would be even more popular. After all, every single person that is reading these words ate FOOD last week. Perhaps were still in the Seasonal Photography Depression Window. But thanks to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 123 – FOOD
Pages 50-51 in the PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT are “A record of missed photo opportunities”. I think that the actual intention is to write down missed opportunities, but I translated it to mean times when the only camera I had on me was my phone. Sometimes that resulted in serviceable pictures… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Pages 50-51
