Before Red Solo Cups


Way, way before Red Solo Cups catapulted as the de facto drinking container for casual get-togethers, the venerable Mason Ball Jars were all the rage. Guess what? Ball jars are still in high demand as drinking glasses. Blue tinted jars, from the height of canning days, are especially sought after for all occasions. Forty-some of these jars, sold at an Amana, Iowa flea market went to a bride-to-be for her upcoming pre-wedding festivities. What is old is something new. And what is something blue is apparently wedding appropriate - time to proceed to party.

Stepping in Class on the Mississippi


During last Saturday in Clinton, Iowa, a country-themed wedding took place. Part of the event featured a photoshoot along the Mississippi River levee. While I was there to photograph interesting river traffic, the wedding party assembled near where I was stationed - must be a popular spot. From there I took a few photos of the approaching party before the professional showed up. I think mine turned out better. Know that.
