A Review from The Des Moines Egotist
The Des Moines Egotist recently reviewed my photos of Des Moines and picked their top 5.
“What makes Mr. Briggs’ portfolio successful:
Good presentation. Good introduction. We know what we’re looking at and why the photos are there.
Studied angles. It’s clear he is wandering around and around these familiar-to-most-of-us buildings, and finding new ways to see them.
An experimental theme. Riley, your eye for geometry is strong. The snaps you’ve enhanced with subtle patterns and linear highlights are among your strongest.”

Hickory Hills Organic Farm
Last weekend I toured Hickory Hills Organic Farm with my Des Moines Paleo group. We saw all the animals and then got to buy straight from the source. The chickens, hogs and cows are treated very humanely. They are actually ranked between category 4 and 5 on the USDA's humane scale You can talk to Ben at the Des Moines Farmer's Market. The roasts are perfect and the brats are the best I have ever had.
