Despite the nicer weather, participation rates for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE haven’t rebounded. Might be time to consider retiring it at the end of this 52 week run. Maybe everybody gave up the Weekly Photo Challenge for Lent?

But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you came to see the submissions:

Kim Barker

Christopher D. Bennett

Kim Barker

Linda Bennett

Tamara Peterson

Andy Sharp

While the submission be little in number, they be strong in heart!

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:

OLD/ELDERLY

OLD/ELDERLY what a great theme! This picture doesn’t have to be of an old person, but it can be. OLD is a relative term. For example. The kids in the youth group think I’m OLD. Practically ancient. On the other hand the retirement age people from my church think of me as some wet behind the ears punk kid. FIND something or somebody (but I don’t know I would say that to their face) that you think is OLD and take a photo or two.

As always, I’m excited to see 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

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 old Monday!
