It is fairly well documented that I don’t enjoy this aspect of my church’s Good Friday service, but I do know a good photo opportunity when I see it!
A few more pictures from our Good Friday Service.
This is supposed to be the last year that Logan portrays Jesus on the cross. It may be the case because he could be in a far off land attending college next year.
Another eclectic collection.
In one of my few blogs of the last few months I wrote about a camera phone app called Lightbox. I wrote how I was tired of waiting for Instagram to come to Droid, so I was trying out an alternative.
In the last week or so, Instagram finally came to Droid! I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it as much as the hype, but I truly do. I publish pretty much every every Instagram photo on Twitter (of course) and on Facebook (biting my tongue and trying to forget how much I hate Facebook), so many of you have already seen these images.
For the rest of you, here is a collection of my first Instagram images:
If you have an iPhone or a Droid I highly recommend downloading and playing with Instagram. Of course, I recommend you following me on Instagram as well.
My only note of concern is that Facebook recently bought Instagram (for 1 billion dollars), so I do worry that they will destroy it like most other things they touch, but I will hold out hope.

One of these does include the 1st ever, “Here, take a picture of us.”

I have to confess that not all Personal Photo Projects end up being a success as I see them. This one fits into that category.
I wanted to get a picture of Logan’s entire class throwing their hats in the air, but I’m just too far away for this picture to work for me on a meaningful level, but I do share my failures along with my success.
An uncropped attempt:
Oh well, maybe when Logan graduates from college.
Lots of winter photos in this collection.
There has been a void in my computer bag since last August when my favorite lens went kaput. I finally got around to replacing it recently.
This is the 1st picture I took with the new lens.
Here are a few of the technical specifications of the new lens:
Construction: 10 Groups/14 Elements
Angle of View: 26 degrees 35 minutes
F stop range: 2.0-22
Closest Focusing Distance: 9.1 inches
Maximum Magnification: 1:1
Filter size: 55mm
I really love this new lens!

It is the time of year that is filled with sadness. Another college basketball season has come to an end. But despite the gloom that will set upon the land for many more months, it is a time of joy as well. We get to crown a new King of the Roundball Oracles. A new name goes on the plaque of immortals with these past champions:
Roundball Oracles Past Champions.
2011 – Carrie Baier
2010 – Mark Wolfram
2009 – Mark Wolfram
2008 – Mark Wolfram
2007 – Tim Peterson
2006 – William McAlpine
2005 – William McAlpine
The latest immortal is…
In the closes Roundball Oracle competition ever, Lowell beat Corey Faust on the tiebreaker.
I will be ordering Lowell’s trophy soon and will be presenting it to him in the very near future. I’m sure there will be photographic evidence to back this up presented in this forum in due time.
Another reason why it was a good year for the Roundball Oracles is that we set a new record with 29 combatants. Shattering the previous participation mark by several people.
Without further adieu, here are the final standings of the 8th Roundball Oracles Challenge:

Some people might think that I need to explain why somebody with my nearly infinite basketball knowledge could have fared so poorly, but I will not defend my lowly ranking. Truth is that my goal is just to beat Russell and the fact that I didn’t this year means that I will have to try harder next year. I cannot let RMK get the best of me two years in a row!
Even though the dust has barely settled on this year’s NCAA tournament, I am already very excited for next year’s season. I think that the Cyclones will be even better next season and I can’t wait to see them prove me right. I guess until the season begins anew, I will look forward to the Spring Football Game that is only days away!
