Finally finding some spare time to get the submissions for last week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE published. The theme was JEALOUSY:

Tamara Peterson

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:

SMALL TOWN!

SMALL TOWN! What a great theme! But what is a SMALL TOWN photo? A SMALL TOWN photo is anything that is suggestive of a SMALL TOWN. From businesses to water towers to schools to parks.

As always, I look forward to seeing your interpretations.

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 due date. 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

I’m pleased to announce that Johnathan Stensland is the latest to show taste, class, and sophistication by signing up for a Photography 139 email subscription. Johnathan is my nephew and my most recent roommate. Like all people with Bennett genes, he is a badass. If you see him walking the mean streets of rural Boone County, feel free to give him a knowing glance and show him the super secret Photography 139 handshake.

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 small town Monday!
