I’ve never revealed the rejects for a Monday reveal picture before. Mostly because the pictures are usually just a quick snapshot of something that fits the theme to be revealed. However, I really like some of the photos that I didn’t use for revealing BLACK & WHITE as this week’s theme, so I thought I would share them now.
It is unlikely this will become a regular thing.
Here are the photos that didn’t make the cut for ABSTRACT in the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
Thanks for taking the time to mock this collection of pathetic losers!
A decent rebound from last week as several people were able to get all ABSTRACT.
But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you want to see the submissions. Here are the submissions for ABSTRACT:
Logan Kahler
Stephanie Kim
Sarah Karber
Angie DeWaard
Suzie Brannen
Cathie Raley 1
Cathie Raley 2
Cathie Raley 3
Bill Wentworth
Mike Vest
Christopher D. Bennett
Shannon Bardole
A solid week of submissions!
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:
I can’t deny it. This is my favorite theme. My first passion has always been BLACK & WHITE Photography. People that don’t like BLACK & WHITE photography are bad people. Plus, this is such an easy theme. Go out and take a BLACK & WHITE photo of literally anything. I probably should give a dissertation on how textures and light can be emphasized in BLACK & WHITE, but I won’t. Just go out and take some BLACK & WHITE photos!
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 monochromatic Monday!
The rest of the 06-27-07 folder.
Lots of changes to that family in 10 years. Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve a train.
I took some photos of the Stenslands back in May. Probably should show you some of them at this point. Here are some of my favorites.
Not sure when this group of people will be together again. Alexis leaves for the Navy in the next few weeks. Elainie still has a year left in the Navy.
I’ve always had an affinity for water towers. Sometimes I like to photograph them.
Captured this one in Luther on a foggy December morning.
