Mr. Wentworth was the most recent victim/model for the continuation of THE 9 EMOTIONS PROJECT.
Here is his work:
For those of you that have forgotten, reading left to right and top to bottom, these are the 9 emotions:
1. JOY
2. SADNESS
3. ANGER
4. AMUSEMENT
5. FEAR
6. JEALOUSY
7. SURPRISE
8. SYMPATHY
9. BOREDOM
Now I start the search for the next willing participant.
And her folks back in Manhattan didn’t want her or her bundle…
So she took her child and caught an evening train…
She found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner…
At least it buys her baby milk to drink…
He once told her she was pretty…
But the only ring it got her…
Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink…
Yes she lay beside him gentle…
‘Cause he told her that he loved her…
And he made her dance before the music played…
But at least she didn’t beg him…
She’d rather wash her dishes…
It makes her feel as if her hands are clean…
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY from PHOTOGRAPHY 139!
A look at the view of Manhattan from Manhattan Hill.
I’ll most likely be doing a dump of the rest of the images from my trip to visit Nate and Laura at some point next week.

When you read the subject of this entry, you probably thought that this post was going to be about the Iowa Caucuses, but actually it is an image from my most recent trip to visit Nate and Laura.
Behold!
Laura tells me that it is quite the thing for people of Manhattan to get their picture taken in the “A hole” of the giant Manhattan sign that graces their skyline.
For the record, I’ve never consider the blank parts of letters to be holes. I guess that is just me.

I might have mentioned in the past that sometimes photographing clouds can make me… well sad isn’t the right word… but I haven’t always enjoyed clouds to their full potential because of a long chain of reasoning that fires instantaneously in my head.
While I don’t want to go over the story again I feel that I’m over it now.
Any way, cloud picture. To some degree.

I found this barn and its hopeful message along I70 (or as a Kansan might say 70 Interstate) on my recent trip to visit Nate and Laura. I vowed to stop and take a picture of it on my way home.
Mission accomplished.
While this saying has graced many a bumper sticker, you won’t actually find it in THE BIBLE. I’m usually fairly coy about the titles of the posts in this here blog (even though I’m sure most of them end up being fairly transparent), however, I will flat out tell you if you go read that particular verse, I think it is what this bumper sticker theology is trying to say.
Although intellectual honesty makes me point out I’m not a noted theologian. I don’t even play one on television. You know every once in awhile, PHOTOGRAPHY 139 needs to get in touch with its roots and give a small reminder of where the name comes from.

*I have my doubts about the accuracy of that number.
There aren’t tons of losers from this week’s theme, but there are a few.
Here are the losers for STORE:
I hope people are having some modicum of success pursuing this week’s theme: GRAFFITI!
It has probably been too long since I posted a picture from the Iowa State Fair flower garden. Better remedy that:
Daisies have always been one of my favorites to photograph.

This is a look back at the photos from the calendar I gave as Christmas gifts in 2012. You’ll see many of the same images from the flower calendar. I have no doubts.

I’ve never done what one would call market research, but I did make a change to the 2015 calendar and then made a change back in the 2016 calendar. That is this. The 2015 calendar has big numbers for the dates. I found this to be aesthetically pleasing. However, some feedback I got was that this made it more difficult to write on the calendar. Therefore, I changed back to small numbers for the 2016 calendar.
I’ve also been asked why I don’t include birthdays or “different holidays” any longer. The reason for that is because of the diverse audience that the Photography 139 Calendar now reaches, I don’t know how many of those people need to know the date my nephew Brandon’s birthday (December 4). However, I could probably add International Talk Like A Pirate Day back to the calendar.
I’ve already stated that I’m going to go back to diversifying the subject matter of the 2017 calendar. I have this glorious plan of taking each photo for the 2017 calendar during the corresponding month of 2016. This means that my plan of going back to my plan of lining up certain subjects with certain months will probably go to the wayside. Sorry anybody that was getting jacked up for a frog in February of 2017. I’ll try to get a frog somewhere else… like April.
Any way, please leave any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas in the comments section. I might not act on them, but you don’t know until you try.
