Considering that this week’s theme was the most accessible, I feel like the amount of submissions isn’t too shabby.
Let’s have a look at the submissions for TEXTURE:

But what is this week’s theme? Scroll down:
STORE!
There are multiple definitions of STORE. When this theme was written, Humble Narrator was thinking about a place you go and buy things, but you can define the word in any way that speaks to you.
Since we are several weeks in, we should have a rules refresher.
RULES
1. The picture has to be taken the week of the theme. This isn’t a curate your pictures challenge. This is a get your butt off the couch (my personal experience) and put your camera in your hands challenge.
2. Your submission needs to be emailed to bennett@photography139.com by noon on the Monday of the challenge. It should be pointed out that this blog auto-publishes at 12:01 on Mondays. So it wouldn’t hurt to get your picture in earlier.
That is it, them’s the rules.
HOUSEKEEPING
PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION DIVISION
There is a new email subscriber to celebrate this week. Sarah Karber has shown her keen intellect and sophisticated tastes by becoming a Photography 139 email subscriber. Sarah once worked for the Smithsonian and she got her Divinity degree from Vanderbilt. In short, she is one of the most fascinating people I know. So if you see her out and about walking the mean streets of Boone, feel free to give her the knowing glance and show her the super-secret Photography 139 handshake.
PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SUPER-SECRET HANDSHAKE DIVISION
I haven’t heard any reports from this division for quite some time. I think they’ve given up.
BLOGGING NEWS
A reminder that while I’m not posting these in AN ARTIST’S NOTEBOOK AKA The Journal AKA this here blog, the 2016 SELF-PORTRAIT PROJECT (or as Russell calls it THE SELFIE PROJECT) is ongoing and you can check in on it over yonder:
2016 SELF-PORTRAIT PROJECT
On Saturdays, I’m going to start publishing lists. This won’t be shared on any social media. It will be kind of a perk for being an email subscriber. Well, maybe a perk. Maybe a torment. I don’t really have real strong plans for it, but I’m sure you’ll be able to look forward to my opinions on things I know about (the best tenderloin spots in Iowa) and things I don’t really know about (I’m not really sure what qualifies here) to things I don’t really care about, but other people do (ranking the best STAR WARS movie to the worst).
Well, stop reading this and get out and take a STORE picture!
Any chance you can remind us about the self-portrait project during the weekend list entries?
My entries are not quite as interesting as I hoped they would be.
There isn’t much to it.
I’m just taking a Self-Portrait every day and then at the end of the year I’m going to put them all together in a video to see how I’ve transformed.
It was unveiled in last Tuesday’s blog posting.
I’d read about it, but didn’t see a way to subscribe or anything. I don’t have a good enough memory to check things every day, sadly.
There isn’t a way to subscribe. It won’t be anywhere near interesting enough for anything like that.
I also don’t update daily. More like weekly.
