Last Saturday I took the drone out to Don Williams to practice. I took a few images there that I will post at some point, but not at this time. The images I will post today are from when I was cruising back to Boone. I took a slightly different… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 43
I have recently had a battle in my head and in my wallet. I knew I wanted to purchase a new camera that was something like an action cam, only so much more. It has the qualities of say a GoPro, but the image quality is vastly superior. The amount… Read More »The New New
Last Tuesday I took a little bit of time off from the Computer Mine to make progress in my personal quest to meet, photograph, or at least see in person the person that will take office as the next President of the United States in 2021. Beto O’Rourke was in… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Beto O’Rourke
…the strength of street knowledge. I don’t usually take a bunch of extra pictures for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE any longer, but with a theme like STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, it really screamed to take a ton of images. So that is what I did. On Saturday morning I went down to… Read More »You are About to Witness…
We hit double digits for, we’ll call it, the 5th week in a row. STREET PHOTOGRAPHY was a surprisingly popular theme even though it is a type of photography that can often put people outside of their comfort zone. This week, the Photography 139 Weekly Photo Challenge Empire extended as… Read More »WPC – WEEK 191 – STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
There are several folders inside the folder called 2009-02-18, so rather than having one of those fifty photo journal entries, I’ve decided to break them down by the subfolder. This subfolder is called ARIZONA_DAY_2. The pictures in this folder are from when I went to Arizona with Jesse on a… Read More »2009-02-18 – Arizona Day 2
Last Saturday when I decided to go see Bernie Sanders, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to knock off Page 112 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. Bernie Sanders was speaking at the Sun Room at the Memorial Union at noon, which gave me the perfect opportunity to get… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 112
For the first time, in something like 15-20 years I went to the Boone County Fair Parade. The original idea was that these pictures would be for THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. They were going to be for the page that was something-like “Take a picture that is outside of your… Read More »Like Fireworks, Only More Boring
Dipping into the backlog again. This post finishes off all of the backlog from May of 2018! WooHoo! It once again draws on a consistent theme. Me taking pictures of Naima at Dickcissel Park. You might be wondering why I took so many of these pictures last year. The reason… Read More »Naima Takes Dickcissel
It has been over a month since I made any progress in my personal quest to meet, photograph, or at least see in person the person that will take office as the next President of the United State in 2021. I finally scratched a third person off the list when… Read More »President Quest 2020 – Bernie Sanders

The photos in the folder 2009-02-15 are from a trip I took to Arizona with Jesse. 50% of the trip was for pleasure. 50% of the trip was for the Computer Mine. These pictures are from Day 1 of the trip. Most of that day was spent in the air… Read More »2009-02-15
I can’t say that I’m particularly proud of this picture. It isn’t exactly in my wheelhouse. If I thought about it more, it is something I would’ve had Jay help with. But I’m committed to not getting too hung up on quality and forging ahead and finishing off THE PHOTO… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 113
Seems like a good time to share my favorite pictures from THE SELFIE PROJECT from April. I’ve been trying to be more interesting with the pictures, or at least more interesting with my life, since it felt like in January and February I didn’t do anything. I don’t know if… Read More »Selfie Project – April
Happy International Workers’ Day! Also, sometimes known as May Day and one of the few holidays I haven’t heard some humbug grouse about how it is a fabricated holiday forced upon us by the greeting card cartels. On this International Workers’ Day, remember the old parable about how the world… Read More »Happy International Workers’ Day
Last year on my birthday I took a short road trip. I cruised down to Winterset to have try an award winning tenderloin. Along the way I stopped at several towns to take pictures for THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT. However, I also took other pictures here and there. I reached… Read More »Birthday Road Trip
Yet another solid week of submissions! DESSERT hit double digits in submission making it, at least a few weeks in a row of double digit submissions.

The photos in the folder titled 2009-02-03 are from when the building on the northwest corner of Story and 8th Street burned down. I don’t remember how I was tipped off to this fire going on, but I was able to roll out of bed, snap a few photos and… Read More »2009-02-03
Last Saturday Logan stopped by to show me his super sweet gimbal and to borrow my Rode microphone to see if it is something that he wanted to add one to his arsenal in the future. I hadn’t actually touched the Rode in probably 4 or 5 years. I guess… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 32
Dipping in to the 2018 backlog to share some of the photos from the Miller-Peterson Christmas. We celebrated in the Fellowship Hall of my church. Almost everybody made it except for the Manhattan Millers. The triplets, I think were still in the hospital at the time. Hopefully everybody is able… Read More »Miller-Peterson Christmas
It has been awhile since we checked in with THE SELFIE PROJECT. I figured today was as good of a day as any to check out March before April is over. I’m not sure I did more interesting things in March than I did in February or January where it… Read More »Selfie Project – March
