I’ve been looking forward to this week’s theme since I wrote it on a green Post-It Note and dropped it in the hat. Jesse Howard, long time Photography 139 supporter and apparent beard lover, entered his first submission. Hopefully it is the beginning of many more.

Let’s look at the submissions for RUINS:

Carla Stensland 1

Carla Stensland 2

Carla Stensland 3

Bill Wentworth

Christopher D. Bennett

Jesse Howard

Kim Barker 1

Kim Barker 2

Time to look to the future. This week’s theme is…

OLD!

Maybe it is unfortunate that these two themes got drawn back to back, but they are different ya know. While RUINS calls for you to photograph something that is deteriorating. This just calls for you to photograph something that is old. OLD can still be in very good shape. See William MacAlpine.

HOUSEKEEPING

No new email subscribers this week. Maybe next week.

As we are over halfway home, now is a good time to share the remainder of the themes. If this continues into another year, please put ideas for new THEMES in the COMMMENTS section of this here blog.
