Here is the list of rules for Year 12 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
1. The picture must be taken between 12:01 PM today and 11 AM next Monday. This isn’t a curate your photos project. This is a get your butt off the couch and take pictures challenge!
- There is a limit of 2 submissions per person per theme. If you send me more than 2, I will use the first 2 that you submit. If you submit 2 pictures, make sure they are of different subjects.
- Deadline to submit your submission is 11 AM Central Time the following Monday. But that is a deadline. Pictures can be submitted as soon as you take them.
- To be considered the photographer of an image, you have to be the one that clicks the shutter. If you hand your camera over to somebody else to take a picture of you, you are NOT the photographer of that image.
- No screen captures. This is a photography challenge. Not a “look at what I found on the internet” challenge.
- Please include the location of where the picture was taken with your submission.
There are still 2 ways to submit:
- Email your submission to bennett@photography139.com.
- Text your submission to my Google Pixel 8 Pro.
It is the third Monday of the month and on the third week of the month I like to share a map of all the states where people have submitted from heading into today. Here is that map:
24 STATES & 1 DISCTRICT
There have been a lot of people that have been to a lot of states, but Nathanial has been to the most. He’s been to 9 different states so far.

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:
SUNSHINE (SUGGESTED BY CARLA STENSLAND)
SUNSHINE! What a great theme for Year 12 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE! Lucky for me I’ll be in Philadelphia, where it is always sunny!
HOWEVER! SINCE I WILL BE TRAVELING HOME FROM PHILADELPHIA NEXT MONDAY, DO NOT EXPECT TO GET ANY FORM OF REMINDERS NEXT MONDAY. YOU WILL NEED TO BE YOUR OWN COUNCIL!
I look forward to seeing your interpretation!
That is all I got, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will see your idea of SUNSHINE in this place that hopes to be a beacon of light in a dark world next Monday!
