Spooky 'Cross 2010

Here are my photos from Spooky 'Cross 2010 at the Living History Farms.  I’ve got three tests this week so I was only there for about two races. Oh well it was a nice break from the educational grind.

More Cyclocross

Here are some photos from the cyclocross event in Cedar Falls. I shot some video too. Could be a couple of days before that’s up. Thanks for checking out the blog.

Oakley Night Cap Cross

Last night I shot the Oakley Night Cap Cross, my first cyclocross race.  Beer and a short looped track made the event great for spectators and I was pretty happy with some of the photos I snagged.  It was a good night overall, but I did forgot some gear at the bar so I’ll be making the trip back to Des Moines this afternoon.

I posted my five favorites here, and there will be some other nice ones posted on the Skunk River Cycles’ facebook page.  You should like them, and frequent them if you don’t already.  Spooky ‘cross is the 30^th and 31^st if you are going to be in the Des Moines area check it out.

Dogs!

Killing some time while dog sitting.  They don’t like being anywhere except under the table.

Heatbox

Here are some photos from my trip to the Heatbox and Maxophone show at the Yacht Club in Iowa City.  Not a bad way to spend a Friday night.  

Non-football, football

Georgie Tsushima does a switch heelflip over a four-foot gap as Darren Miller rolls tape on Thursday September 2^nd outside Carver Hall on Iowa State’s campus. Tsushima and his friends took advantage of the lack of police on campus in the words of Tsushima, “The cops are all at the game, so there’s nobody to mess with us.”

A non-football football related photo.  So I’m not starting the photo blog up as a daily thing, it’s just not doable at this point in my life, however that doesn’t mean I’ve hung up my camera.  If I shoot something I like, I’ll post it.  If nothing is happening, there is no need to generate photos.

It’s not that I couldn’t have posted a photo yesterday, I didn’t. I have decided to stop making daily photoblog postings and go of the radar for a while.  When the photoblog started it was fun, but at the same time I only had two classes and it wasn’t had to find time to do it. Last night, on the other hand, I was rolling into my 3^rd hour of Arabic homework and the prospect of a daily photo became more of a burden and less of something that I enjoyed doing.

I think it is a lot like quitting smoking, you’ve have to try it a few times before it sticks. Hopefully the next time I start I’m not 16 credit hours deep with one and a half part time jobs.

Thank you for supporting my first attempt at this slightly ridiculous project.  I really appreciate all the kind words and encouragement.

Day 35

Day 34

The outside of a dorm.

I was walking around at ISU today and saw some windows.  I need to start shooting earlier in the day, too much night stalking lately.

Day 33

The view from my porch. 

Day 31

Nothing to say

Video from the Daily today.  A little bit of coaching, and I think these guys will be on track. 

Day 31

Editor-in-chief Jessica Opoien takes a meeting in her office at the Iowa State Daily.

Busy day at the Iowa State Daily, tomorrow could be interesting.  Trying to get the video section rocking and rolling is going to be a challenge for sure, however on the plus side the people in video class on Tuesday seemed really into it. 

Oats frosts a cake.

I shot this last night after my photo deadline, but though I should put it up anyway. I really want an off camera flash.

Day 30, one month down

A man has a smoke against a stoplight pole in Ames.

Today was move-in day. What a zoo.

Day 29

Heelys in the suburbs.

My buddy Oats tries out some Heelys.  Also Heeb made me a logo.  THANKS HEEB!

Day 28

The suburban wave.

Day 27

The fire at the lake.

Not much of an image, I’ll give you that and two days at the cabin deserves a far better photo, but it didn’t happen.  Tuesday I’ll put full effort back into it.  The crazy Thanks for checking out the blog, I’ll see you tomorrow.
