These pictures come from: backup/My Pictures/A Scene from the Woods

From now on out these pictures will be digital, for the most part. Therefore the quality of the pictures will be better, but maybe not the quality of the photography.

The pictures in this folder come from the old RMB Photography Picture of the Day email. These were from pictures I would do around Halloween. I had higher aspirations for this set of pictures. I thought I might actually make a still picture movie out of them like Project: Universe, but I quickly lost my motivation and it was never to be. Kind of like Jay and Games 2.

Next week’s folder:

Happy Halloween 2011!

Jay and I’s traditional pumpkin carving night got moved up one night, but despite the break with tradition Jay carved that awesome pumpkin to look like Naima. As you will see, my pumpkin carving skills are considerably less than Jay’s.

More Happy Halloween pictures:

I’m not sure what I will be publishing here next Friday. Although I’m finding my mode again, there is no telling what way I’ll go.

In this collection there is a picture of a train bridge that used to be east of Boone. As a child I always wondered how such a pathetic looking bridge was able to hold a train.

Regatta

November 2, 2011 Christopher D. Bennett

A few weeks back I went to watch Jen and her crew dominate the Des Moines Regatta. I used to have a bunch of statistics to back up this assertion, but they have since fleed from this old man’s brain.

I do know that Jen’s crew got the gold medal in their division and their time was good enough to beat at least one of the colleges competing.

I’m going to split these pictures into 2 categories. The first category is Evie doing cute Evie things:

Monkeys are Evie’s favorite although I think monkeys should be spelled monkies. Not sure why I feel that way.

This awesome baby backpack enabled Derrick and I to do some serious “extreme” hiking.

Too extreme for tuckered out Evie.

Most people wouldn’t advertise this fact, but unpictured was Evie’s first trip through a homeless camp. I’m pretty proud of having played a role in this “Evie’s First”.

Here are a collection of Jen’s crew in full domination mode:

There are many other high quality regatta pictures in this album:

I might have said this last week and it was a lie, but next week’s random collection will definitely involve Senior Pictures.

These pictures came from: backup

I’m not really sure what the common bond of these pictures would be. I’m guessing that I just placed them here until a better home could be found and never returned to them.

This was a scene from the Anders’ opus Project: Universe.

Next week’s folder will be:

Backup/My Pictures/A Scene from the Woods

The exciting part about this little adventure is that we will be moving into almost exclusively digital images. So these images will actually look WAY better since they were digital from the time they were birthed into this world.

This week’s theme is:

ANIMAL

Hmmmm… that is going to be a hard theme to make about Naima or Foster.

This is a new category for this year. Good Luck to anybody that attempts to contribute this week.

Botch

I didn’t remotely get the picture that I was attempting when I blew up these tomatoes. I will have to attempt this again in the future. Here are a few more pictures from the Botch photo shoot:

There is also a brief video that corresponds to this Personal Photo Project that you can view on my YouTube channel by following the link below:

I show off the pure, raw athletic ability that would have made me an all-conference performer if I hadn’t spent my high school years concentrating my studies on becoming a trombone virtuoso*.

By virtuoso, I mean last chair.

Birthday Number One

October 26, 2011 Christopher D. Bennett 1 Comment

A few weeks back I attended Evie’s birthday party. I didn’t take many photos as everybody else there had at least 1 camera and so my photo coverage of the event would have seemed excessive.

Seriously, Evie has her own paparazzi.

However, I did take a few photos of her cake eating and here they are:

Next week’s Wednesday will involve Senior pictures.
