You can look at this collection of losers for RED from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE in a couple of different ways.
Either I just wanted an excuse more pictures of my dog.
OR
Well that is interesting.
You see, there is a setting on my camera that drops out all other colors but red. It is far from 100%, but it creates interesting images.
Oh… also a picture of my trip to Hilton with Jen, Derrick, Evie, and Layla thrown in at the end there.
There were a surprising amount of submissions this week for it being a holiday season. Hopefully we build on that this week.
Submissions for RED:
Carla Stensland
Kim Barker
Christopher D. Bennett
Angie DeWaard 1
Mike Vest
Angie DeWaard 2
So what is this week’s theme?
Let’s have a look:
This should be an interesting one. It might be one of the more difficult themes, but I hope that doesn’t scare anybody away. As always, I’ll be excited to see all the submissions.
GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING NOTES
No new subscribers.
No movement on the secret handshake development front.
So the walk down memory lane now concludes. With a look at the images that were in the calendar that early this morning will be taken down from kitchen walls (most common place I’ve seen the calendar hung up), office walls, cubicle walls, and placed gently in the trash with yesterday’s coffee grounds. 2015 Photography 139 Calendar I bid you a fond adieu.

Since yesterday was the end of year and a holiday that many people celebrate (not me though, I don’t need the calendar gestapo telling me when to start a new year) I would like to take a quick moment to thank everybody that has continued to be an email subscriber to this here blog.
Off the top of my head and I apologize if I miss anybody:
These people are all original subscribers or at least haven’t changed their email since August 22, 2011. Which is how far back the records from off the top of my head go.

Thanks for all the support and for making 2015 a successful year, by some sense of the word. I hope our little family here continues to grow. I’ll try and do better in 2016!
I expected Christmas to take a toll on this week’s submissions… and it did.
But 2 submissions isn’t too bad for a more difficult theme and it was Christmas!
This week’s submissions for FRAMED:
Christopher D. Bennett
Angie DeWaard

Time to look forward to this week’s theme…
That should be a simple enough theme. Especially as the holidays continue. Including one of the biggest holidays of the year. The beginning of the Big 12 Basketball Conference Schedule!
I told you that BLACK AND WHITE photography was my passion.
So…
Buckle up buttercup, this is going to be a long one…
Sometimes I forget that smack in the middle of Ames is the most beautiful campus in the world. I should really visit it more often.
GO STATE!!!
The 2010 calendar was the last calendar that included a human subject. As I open up the subject matter past flowers for the 2017 calendar, it is possible a human subject might find their way back into the calendar. Until then Jill and Sara are the last humans to grace the calendar’s pages.

This was also the last calendar to feature an image that was heavily Photoshopped.
Time to take another stroll down memory lane. This was the last time I appeared in a calendar. Probably will be the last time I ever appear in a calendar.

The last day to order a 2016 Photography 139 Calendar is approaching quickly. Very quickly.
I don’t think that it is a secret to anybody that knows me at all that black and white photography is my true photographic love. And we all know that true love is the greatest thing in the world – except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe.
But I digress.
The point is I’ve been looking forward to this week for 13 weeks now! Let’s see the submissions.

If it was up to me, I would’ve thrown in BLACK AND WHITE as a category 4 or 5 times. Unfortunately, it just dawned on me that it is up to me. Maybe next year.
But why dwell on the past, when we have the future to look forward to? Let us look at this week’s theme…
This category doesn’t necessarily mean an object inside of a literal frame. Think of this as an object that your view is framed by other objects. Or think of this any way that you like.
MESSAGE FROM PHOTOGRAPHY 139’S SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION DIVISION.
Big time welcomes are due to not ONE, but TWO new email subscribers. So give BIG welcomes to new Photography 139 email subscribers Dawn Krause AND Joe Duff. I believe Joe to be our first subscriber from Texas! Going global… soon!
I would normally tell you that if you see them on the streets to give them a knowing glance AND don’t be shy about showing them the secret Photography 139 handshake. However, the Secret Handshake Division has yet to finalize the handshake. So at this time the knowing glance will have to suffice.
Welcome aboard Joe and Dawn. I know you shall fare well!
A look back at the 2007 calendar, you know. For funsies!

There were requests this year that the calendar to include a wider swath of my work besides just photos. Apparently, more than just Russell hate my flower photography. I took this under consideration, but it just didn’t work out this year. However, the 2017 Calendar will consist of more than just flower pictures.
