23 weeks! 23 straight weeks of double digit submission! Now JUNK wasn’t a super popular theme. I think it is mostly a Bennett thing to like to hang out surrounded by JUNK. Not garbage but JUNK. I went and wandered around my favorite local JUNK pile, even though I thought… Read More »WPC – WEEK 234 – JUNK
Time to dip into another collection of images from when Fly Iowa was in Boone last August. I now have only 900 more pictures from Fly Iowa to curate.
The pictures in the folder 2009-09-11 are from a photo shoot I had with Pam’s family. I’ve never published these pictures before, so this is the first time that they have seen the light of day! Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve a football game between Iowa State… Read More »2009-09-11
Even though it is barely March, it is about time that I start turning my thoughts to the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon. I hope to be more current with my images by the time I actually have to make a decision, but I am pretty sure I know of… Read More »ISFRXOII

The last two years my church has manned the food stand at the Municipal Band Festival. The first year it was pretty successful, but maybe slightly unethical. Last year, it wasn’t very successful from a financial standpoint, but people that worked it had a good time. Here are some pictures… Read More »Band Festival
Need to start today by wishing a happy birthday to my mission trip and youth group buddy Andy! 5 or 6 years ago or however long it was when we first went to Martin, South Dakota together I never would have guessed how good of friends we would end up… Read More »Dickcisselin’
FASHION barely drew enough interest to march our double digit submission streak all the way to 22. I mean, if you’ve seen the way my friends dress, it is obvious that FASHION wasn’t going to appeal to many of them. Not everybody is a dandy like me. But you didn’t… Read More »WPC – WEEK 233 – FASHION
Here is another collection of photos from when Fly Iowa was in Boone back in August: I still have over a thousand pictures to go through from this event. Buckle up!
The pictures in the folder 2009-09-09 are from two road trips I took back in 2009. One was a trip with my Mom, Grandma, and Teresa to Kalona. Kalona has always been one of my favorite places to visit. It has been too long since I have been there, that… Read More »2009-09-09
A big thank you to all the people that showed up and supported the Youth Group on Ash Wednesday! This year, it was a huge success! We raised more than double the money that we raised on last year’s Spaghetti Fundraiser! Here are some pictures from the event: Don’t worry… Read More »Ash Wednesday Spaghetti Fundraiser
On Sunday I took Rodan139 out for its first flight of 2020. It was a pretty quick trip. Mostly just up and down. Rodan139 hadn’t taken to the skies since December and I just wanted to knock the cobwebs off. Plus I had a limited amount of time between when… Read More »Rodan139 – Ledges
I have to start today’s post off by wishing the happiest of birthdays to Micky! I’m not sure how old Micky is now, but I hope he is at an age where he start to gain a refined taste in pancakes. Micky is one of the best outdoorsman I know,… Read More »Alas, Poor Yorick!
Back in July I stumbled around my backyard and took some pictures of my numerous lilies, hollyhocks, and gazanias. I was playing around with extension tubes. It looks like I will have to purchase a set of extension tubes for the New Hotness at some point, but that will be… Read More »There Are Moments
OLD was not the most popular WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme, but we still managed to have double digit submission for the 21st straight week with a certain amount of ease! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the… Read More »WPC – WEEK 232 – OLD
Back in August, Fly Iowa came to Boone. It was the first time Fly Iowa had been in Boone since the 1990s, I believe. I had never been to an airshow before, so I didn’t really know what to expect, other than wall to wall blasting of Kenny Loggins classic… Read More »Fly Iowa
The pictures in the folders 2009-09-02 and 2009-09-04 are from two separate but nearly equally great events. A couple of the pictures are from Alligator Shirt Day. A holiday that I invented back in 2009, but then forgot to honor on a yearly basis. You can bet dollars to donuts… Read More »2009-09-02 & 2009-09-04
I recently purchased a new camera. I don’t want to go into the details about what I am calling an “adult decision” at this time because when I open up on the details I’ve why I bought what I bought and the intricacies of the new camera and what it… Read More »The New Hotness
This is the last collection of pictures from my Birthday Road Trip. This collection is the collection of cruddy cell phone pictures I took with the trusty Pixel 2. A phone that is almost paid for, so it will surely die very soon. We lunched at Mabe’s Pizza. It was… Read More »Birthday Road Trip – Pixel 2 Pics
