There are a ton of pictures in good old 05-19-07. Probably should’ve broken this up into different posts, but that is quitter talk!
Next Saturday’s post will be much shorter, I’m sure.

Lots of swan action in the folder called 05-11-07.
Next week’s folder is chock full of so much stuff. From a family barbecue to one of my first tenderloining trips. So exciting!
It’s Dollars to Doughnuts!
Here are some general pictures from my recent trips to the Iowa State Fair with Baby Got Rack, Stephanie, Kelly, Yin, Jeff, and the Beavers!
I was going to tell this story about the New Jersey woman I met that was just the worst. Like all people from New Jersey. But at this time I think it is just enough to point out that people from New Jersey are the worst.
If I get motivated, I might leave the story in the COMMENTS section of this here post later.
So without further adieu…
It was a successful Iowa State Fair. Next year, I might unretire and enter the Photo Contest again. Of course, I said that about Pufferbilly Days as well and decided that it just wasn’t for me this year.
05-10-07
The folder 05-10-07 has all the frogs that your heart could ever want!
Next Saturday’s foldrer = more swan!
05-08-07
Gymnastics! Swans! Squirrels! Oh my! Also lots of digital noise in the 05-08-07 folder:
More Iowa State animals in next Saturday’s folder. Get pumped!
Soy un Perdedor
Check out this pathetic collection of losers from the ARCHITECTURE theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.
Thanks for taking the time to help me mock these images.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 47 – ARCHITECTURE
Quite a large selection of submissions this week. It is almost as if THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE has hit its stride. I hope that there is this much passion in the middle of winter!

While I know most people will appreciate my throw away ARCHITECTURE pictures to my submission, but that is okay. I’m dedicating it to somebody, with whom, I have a special relationship.
That being said, a very solid week of submissions. I’m proud of all of us, everyone.
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:
SPORTS!
But what are SPORTS?
Well, one definition would be:
“an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.”
But of course another would be:
“a person who behaves in a good or specified way in response to teasing, defeat, or a similarly trying situation.”
So go out an do some physical exertion, or bully somebody. Do whatever it takes? Or define the theme in any way you see fit!
HOUSEKEEPING
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. 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 this week showed class, taste or sophistication by signing up for a Photography 139 Email Subscription. I’ll try to do better next week.

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE TAKE 3
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 sporty Monday.
No Gorilla, Lucky 3 Year-Olds, or Inept Parents
I haven’t posted a picture of an animal (besides Naima) for a bit. No worries though. This animal posting will not make any references to the current inane social media debate.
I present a ground squirrel…
I found this guy scurrying around the Memorial Union. The only one that I know exists.

Here is a collection of images I took for the WEEKLY CHALLENGE, that didn’t make the cut. JUNK, GRAFFITI, MUSIC, and LANDMARK are all included.
I’ll try to be better next time.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 21 – LANDMARK
Oooh.
This week came dangerously close to the first strike against this project, but then Kim came in with a photo Monday morning. Maybe this was a theme that didn’t ring many bells or maybe it was all the “bad” weather last week. Regardless. Solid work Kim!
The submissions for LANDMARK:
Kim Barker
Christopher D. Bennett
No reason to dwell on the past though. Time to look at the future.
This week’s theme:
JUNK!
I might regret saying this, but as always, define JUNK however you see fit.

At this time, nothing new to report from any Photography 139 Divisions.
