You Can Sit With Us

WHAT FOLLOWS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SHAMELESS MISSIONARY DIVISION… As many of you may or not know, for the last several years I have helped chaperon my church’s Youth Group’s Mission Trip.

Kansas Weed

Sharing another picture from a west(ish) Kansas sunset because Laura says that west(ish) Kansas has the best sunsets. When I told people I was going to visit Manhattan, they usually say: “Cool!” Then I say, “No, the one in Kansas.” Then they say, “Oh.” After a long bit of silence… Read More »Kansas Weed

Spray Paint the Vegetables

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.

More State Fair?

Been a bit since I published a flower picture from my trip to the Iowa State Fair. Some would say too long. Time to remedy that! Every day we inch closer to the photo that got me kicked out of the Iowa State Fair flower garden. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V… Read More »More State Fair?

The Driving Force

Wells have always been a source of fascination for me. But I’m also very glad that I don’t have to drink well water on a regular basis. This well is from my Aunt Linda’s farm. I actually didn’t throw anything into the well. I consider this a sign of maturity.… Read More »The Driving Force

Highway 177

Just south of Manhattan a few miles is a scenic view. On my recent trip to visit Nate and Laura, I stopped at this scenic view and snapped a few photos. Below is one of my favorites. I took this photo on my Saturday in Manhattan. I wish I would… Read More »Highway 177

With the Plastic Eyeballs

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
