That is 25 states! 2 foreign countries!
I’m definitely not tracking this, but I believe we had submissions from the following unique counties in Iowa this week: Boone, Johnson, Polk, Story and Warren.
There wasn’t a single milestone this week. There were also a ton of streaks that bit the dust. Suzie couldn’t build on her submission from last week. Her streak is over before it began. Becky’s streak went poof after four weeks. Willy streaks circled the drain and finally went glug, glug after 8 weeks. But worst of all Scarecrow… Logan’s streak is nothing more than a distant memory after 151 weeks. The humanity!
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:
AT YOUR FINGERTIPS – SUGGESTED BY JOE DUFF
AT YOUR FINGERTIPS! What a great theme for Year 13 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE! Just be sure to follow the rules!
Here are the Year 13 rules!
- YEAR 13 – THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE RULES
- 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. In fact, pictures being submitted by Sunday night are GREATLY APPRECIATED!
- 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. PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME ASK YOU!
- Please submit images that are OVER 1000 pixels at their largest side. DON’T OVERCROP! Look at this page on a computer, if your images are considerably smaller than everyone else’s pictures, then you are sending too small of images!
- ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!!
- How to Submit
- Email your submission to bennett@photography139.com.
- Text your submission to my Google Pixel 8 Pro. I’m not putting my phone # here. If you know, you know.
This is the 1st time that AT YOUR FINGERTIPS has been a theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.
I look forward to seeing your interpretation!
Until next Monday, may you run and not be weary. May your heart be filled with song. And may the love of God continue to give you hope and keep you strong.
