Laura recently became the 21st person (if you count me, but you really shouldn’t) to pose for THE 9 EMOTIONS PROJECT:
If you can’t recall, these are the 9 Emotions:
Sadness
Anger
Amusement
Fear
Jealousy
Surprise
Sympathy
Boredom
Next time we check in with THE 9 EMOTIONS PROJECT, we will check in with somebody very special to Laura. Just not as special to Laura as Laura is to Nate.
A pretty decent week of submissions. TRANSPORTATION really motivated a few people to get out there with there camera!
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk tommyrot about participation rates. You came here to see the submissions:
Becky Parmelee
Cathie Raley
Kim Barker
Christopher D. Bennett
Stephanie Kim
Sara Lockner
Tamara Peterson
Angie DeWaard
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:
WEATHER! What a great theme! I don’t think that WEATHER needs an explanation, but I have noticed in recent months the surprising amount of people who don’t know the difference between climate and WEATHER. Therefore, here is a definition of WEATHER:
the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
What is a WEATHER picture? A picture that shows the temperature. Or precipitation. Is is sunny or is it cloudy? What about wind? Convey those things into a photographic image and that my friends will be gold.
I would remiss if I didn’t point out that thee are other definitions of WEATHER. Therefore, feel free to interpret the theme in any way you see fit.
As always, I look forward to seeing your interpretations!
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.

Nothing new to report. I’ll try to do better next week.

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 weathered Monday!
This huge collection of photos was found in the folder called 01-01-08:
I don’t know if it the holidays or recently seeing some old friends, or a recent death to a close relation of a very close friend or if it is just because it is that time of year, but this particular walk down memory lane made me particularly nostalgic.
Nostalgic for:
1. A time when I stayed up late enough to do night photography.
2. A time when some of the people on the chili scoring sheet still worked at the computer mine.
3. A time when the computer mine had the old set up and not the cube farm setup.
4. A time when Vest could grip a toy gun with 10 fingers. Too soon?
5. A time when Symposium was still a thing.
6. A time when my beanie collection was so wanting.
7. A time when I was stuck at work after dark on holidays. Which is crazy because I always hated that.
8. A time when we could actually turn the lights off at work.
9. A time when being a piece of human debris made you ineligible for political office, rather than eligible for a cabinet position.
But when I wasn’t feeling all melancholy, by adding this images to the Photography 139 SmugMug Gallery, I was able to restore the following old timey blog posts:
Next Saturday’s stroll down memory lane will involve a broken mirror at the very least.
This is your weekly reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE THEME is TRANSPORTATION!
TRANSPORTATION! An easy enough theme. Examples of TRANSPORTATION include a car. A train. A boat. A plane. Your feet. Roads. Railroad tracks. These are just the most literal examples.
Here are some examples of TRANSPORTATION photos:
Angie DeWaard
Bill Wentworth
Stephanie Kim
Shannon Bardole
Kim Barker
Monica Kewer
Happy photo harvesting!
Nate recently became the 20th person (if you count me, but you really shouldn’t) to pose for THE 9 EMOTIONS PROJECT:

Next time we check in with THE 9 EMOTIONS PROJECT, we will check in with somebody very special to Nate.
Back in July while I was meandering my way to the computer mine, I came across a perfect photo opportunity for Page 62 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. I pulled the car over and took a photo.
I did take a few other pictures, but this is the only one that is really worth sharing.
On Monday the world wasn’t ready for these pictures. They were too intense. But I can’t hold them back any longer. Here are the alternates for the theme PARTY from THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
These pictures were taken in the Photography 139 Studio with the hat collection that is used for photo booth type purposes.
You’re welcome world.
For those that have been asking, it is my sad duty to report that Scott did not get elected last Tuesday. He lost the vote 161-126-2. Yes, there were two write-in votes. For Scooby Doo, I’m guessing. Based on how seriously some people take their vote.
But 161 votes for an incumbent is a clear indication that the incumbent doesn’t have a ton of support in his ward.
The momentary setback for Boone’s progress prompted me to get the following text message on Wednesday morning:
The wrong guy got elected.
I don’t want to go into a whole postmortem thing about the election right now. It is tough to defeat an incumbent. Particularly in an off year election. Especially when they have the backing of a political party and you don’t. Scott got a late start on his campaign. Perhaps Scott was even a slight victim of the blue wave that happened last Tuesday. It could even be argued that he was hurt by 1 issue voters. That 1 issue. Chickens in backyards.
Whatever the reason that Boone’s progress was temporarily halted last Tuesday, it is only temporary. Scott will continue his school board duties and he will be running for political office again. Soon. What office? Still to be determined.
I thought I would share some of the photos I took during this process:
Thanks to everybody that supported Scott and voted for Scott.
Don’t worry the revolution isn’t dead. The Scottie D. Revolution is just getting started!
I’m going to cut this short this week because I’m short on time. My department at day job is down to about 3 good hips, 1 good set of lungs, and 1 good neck.
Therefore, insert GONE WITH THE WIND reference here.
PARTY:
Kim Barker
Sara Lockner
Stephanie Kim
Tamara Peterson
Dawn Krause
Christopher D. Bennett
Insert reference to PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE here.
New theme is:
TRANSPORTATION! Insert a definition of TRANSPORTATION here. Pretty sure everybody knows what TRANSPORTATION is. If not, rent PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES.

This picture for THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT was taken a couple months back during the annual Howard Family Photo Shoot:
Here are some other I took during the same session that I like, but won’t be physically adhered in the physical manifestation of A PHOTO JOURNAL:
I’m not sure what page we will hammer out next time we check-in with THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. Possibly pages 50-51.
