The substructure of folder 06-23-07 is a little weird. I don’t remember what I was trying to do. But here are pictures from some of the subfolders:
Not sure what is in next week’s folder. But I’ll figure it out.

Backlog Cleanout – Daisy Vol. 1
Here are a couple of daisy pictures I took back in May, but never published. They might be a bit of an acquired taste. Something about them just feels like maybe these pictures were lifted from a snuff film. Maybe that is just me.
So much more backlog to clean out. But I’m almost caught up through May now.
Backlog Cleanout: Iowa State
This is a cleanout of images from the end of May.
A few of these images are from Brookside Park as well.
Foggy Christmas Eve Morn
Since Christmas Eve was on a Saturday this year, I had the whole day off. It was a revelation! I might just start taking all Christmas Eve mornings off in the future.
I considered it a good time to reconnect with my camera. We’ve been as disconnected lately as if I were a Suppressive Person and it was a Scientologist. I might have that relationship backwards.
It was a beautiful foggy morning and it felt like a good time to get reconnected. This picture is one of the results:
It was so foggy on this trail that at times, a person could feel completely alone in this universe.

The Failed Selfie Project of 2016
Back at the beginning of 2016, I had this dream of taking a selfie every day to document that growth of one awesome beard. Well. I made it a few days into April.
As I’m going to rekindle this project for 2017, thought I’d look back at my favorite photos from that failed project.
Hopefully I can make it later than April in 2017 before I shave the beard. But I am at the mercy of whether or not I have a birthday party in 2017 and what I do for the invitation. I guess it is a waiting game.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 68 – SELF-PORTRAIT
Well. We made it through the holidays and still had some participation. WooHoo!
But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You want to see the submissions for SELF-PORTRAIT. Here they be:
Angie DeWaard
Jeff Kewer
Micky Augustin
Kim Barker
Christopher D. Bennett
But enough dwelling on the past. Time to look to the future. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future! This week’s theme:
MIRROR!
MIRROR! I’m pumped up for this theme. Mostly because I have lots of mirrors. Now I can get off my tookus and do something with them! So this theme should incorporate a mirror or mirrors into the photo. But feel free to use reflective objects that might not be the Merriam-Webster definition of a mirror. Like a calm mill pond. Define the theme however you see fit.
HOUSEKEEPING
A MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 RULES DIVISION
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. Don’t send me a picture of you next to the Eiffel Tower, when I know you were in Iowa all week. I will point out that I have let that slide some in the past. I will not in the future. Since it is literally about the only rule.
2. Your submission needs to be emailed to bennett@photography139.com by 11 AM 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.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION DIVISION
Nothing new to report. I’ll try to do better next week.
Want your own Photography 139 email subscription? Call, email, or text me and I’ll get you the hook up.
That’s all I got for today, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will commune right here again next Monday. Hopefully it will be a very mirrored Monday.
To a Great 2017!
Pretend like I published this on January 1, just like I meant to do.
It is that day at Photography 139 Headquarters where we take down our old Photography 139 Calendar and put it in the trunk with many of the other remnants of our past.
We like to think that 2016 was a successful year for Photography 139 and I’d like to thank everybody that was responsible for making it appear so.
