Hitting up the 2018 backlog again. This is a miscellaneous set of pictures that I took on the same day as the Pet Memorial Day in 2018. Some of these I think were taken for a theme reveal for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE and I think others were taken for the theme that week.
Just have to keep hammering away at that backlog.
I have been working on something the last few days that nobody at all will care about, but I think is somewhat of an accomplishment:
I have added a SSL Certificate to my website and now my website is secure.
I know, you don’t care. Even my fellow miners at the Computer Mine aren’t impressed. That is okay. I live with only impressing myself on many a day.
What does it mean for you? Probably, absolutely nothing. But when you look up in the address bar of this here website, you will see a little lock so that you know your information is private when you send it to this site.
It is a beautiful lock. The most beautiful I’ve ever seen!

The webmaster at my church requested that I take some pictures of the Candlelight Services on Christmas Eve. So I took a few pictures. Have a looksie:
The room with the trees is where we take communion on Christmas Eve.

Here is an update on my 10 Step Process to buying a drone.
6 out of 10 completed. What isn’t mentioned in the 10 part plan is that I won a $250 gift card to Amazon at the Computer Mine Holiday Party. That is a bonus 11th step.
Here we are. Starting a new 52 weeks of themes. I like to think back at all we’ve accomplished. Really puts things in PERSPECTIVE.
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about anything really. You came to see the submissions:
Tamara Peterson
Carla Stensland
Christopher D. Bennett
Cathie Raley
Michelle Haupt
Micky Augustin
Mike Vest
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:
BOREDOM! What a great theme! But what is a BOREDOM photo? I snaked this theme from THE 9 EMOTIONS PROJECT. A BOREDOM photo is any photo of somebody that is in the throes of BOREDOM or any activity you do when you are fighting BOREDOM.
I look forward to seeing your interpretations!
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
Nobody showed class, taste, and sophistication this week by signing up for a Photography 139 email subscription. I’ll try and do better next week.
+++++++
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 bored Monday.
As I power through the 2017 backlog, there are several days that included a few pictures here and there.
This entry is throwing some of those rando images together to bring the 2017 backlog into the homestretch.
I think there are about 6 photo sessions from 2017 left to publish, but some of them are BIG ones!
Last Sunday was Confirmation Sunday at the church. I wasn’t directly involved in the confirmation process, but my morning was filled with church activities.
As a member of the Methodist Men, I was there to help prepare the Confirmation Breakfast for the confirmands, their families, and their mentors. During a break in the action I ran up and fixed the network problems of our financial computer. During the church service I ran the PowerPoint portion of the worship. After the service, once again as a member of the Methodist Men, I helped serve treats and beverages as part of Fellowship.
However, what matters to this post is the PowerPoint part of my day. Since I was running PowerPoint, I was up in the balcony. I don’t normally take photographs during worship service, because the people around me consider it to be a distraction.
However, since I was in the balcony and since Alisa is in Haiti doing God’s work (similar to the time I went to fake Haiti, but with less time laying on the beach and bartering over hat prices I’m sure) I decided to snap a few photos, so she could see them on her return.
Mackenzie’s Faith Statement
I’d just like to say that the two confirmands that read their Personal Faith Statements to the congregation were VERY impressive! If I had a transcript of their words, I would’ve published both of them.
This project was just to capture some pictures of storied Goeppinger Field with the fisheye lens. Hope you are enjoying the fisheye lens 1/20th of as much as I am enjoying it, because it isn’t going away. I expect you’ll see more sporting events captured with it in the future. I’m really excited to take it to The Jack this Fall.
The rest of the Go for the Great Series.
Of course thanks to Logan for running track. Otherwise I wouldn’t have even been at this event and taken these pictures.
I’m not sure I ever really got the picture of Willy that I wanted, but I do know for sure that I didn’t want Naima in the picture. It is funny how a dog that has a knack for being extremely difficult to photograph, would fight her way into this picture of Willy.
Oh well, she adds some humor to this photo.
Here are a few other pictures from the Reason and Faith Series.
If you are sensing a special glow in Willy it is because these pictures were taken the same day that he won a 5K in Nevada, with a certain amount of ease it should be pointed out.
