Back in July while I was meandering my way to the computer mine, I came across a perfect photo opportunity for Page 62 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. I pulled the car over and took a photo.
I did take a few other pictures, but this is the only one that is really worth sharing.
The pictures from the album called 12-30-07 are more experiments with projection. I might need to get back into that in the near future. It is a good thing to play with when it is -7 out and the sun goes down at 4:05 PM.
By adding these pictures to the Photography 139 Smugmug Gallery I was able to restore the following blog to original greatness:
In next Saturday’s waltz down Memory Lane we will make our first dip into 2008 folders. Even though most of the pictures in it were taken in 2007. The pictures will include some Christmasy stuff, a throwback to a sadly dead tradition, and photos of one of the worst humans on earth (yes, almost a worse person than Rudy Giulani).
Here are a few pictures from a couple stops we made between Sioux Falls and Rapid City:
Not pictured is Wall Drug. Wall Drug is a waste of time. Next time we check in with this little vacation we will take a look at Mount Rushmore.
The other day when I was walking around at Ledges I came across what I thought would be the a good theme for Page 45 in THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT:
Here are a few others I took at the same time, but won’t physically be printed and adhered into the physical A PHOTO JOURNAL:
Next time we check in on the PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT, we will most likely have a look at Page 98.
On the way to the Black Hills we stopped at Falls Park in Sioux Falls. Because we got a late start to the trip, so we didn’t hang around Falls Park for long. Plus it was pouring rain and it was cold. I did snap a few photos before we hit the road again:
We will be visiting me and my Mom’s trip to South Dakota a few more times in the future.
On Monday the world wasn’t ready for these LANDSCAPE pictures for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. The world might not be ready yet, but I can’t hold them back any longer:
All these pictures were taken either north of Boone. West of Boone. Or northwest of Boone.
This is a reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is LANDSCAPE:
A LANDSCAPE photo is as simple as a photo of some land.
Here are some LANDSCAPE photos to help fuel your fire:
By Carla Stensland

By Kim Barker

By Cathie Raley
Now that your fires are going… happy photo harvesting!
The world wasn’t ready for these REFLECTION images on Monday. The world might not be ready for now, but I can’t hold them back any longer. Here are the alternates for REFLECTION:
All of these pictures were taken at either McHose Park or Ledges. You’re welcome world.
People weren’t exactly beating down my email’s inbox door for this week’s theme of REFLECTION. Yet, there was some really great submissions.
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you came to see the submissions:

A solid week of submissions!
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:
LANDSCAPE! What a great theme! But what does it mean? How about this:
all the visible features of an area of countryside or land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.
A landscape photo can include water (waterscape) or a city (cityscape) or the ocean (seascape). At least it can for our purposes. But as always, feel free to define the theme as you see fit.
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. 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
Nothing new to report. I’ll try to do better next week.
Want your own Photography 139 email subscription? Call, email, or text me and I’ll get you the hook up.

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 landscaped Monday!
The world wasn’t ready for these MACRO pictures for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE on Monday. I’m not sure that the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer:
The grand majority of these pictures were taken in my back yard. The first seven were taken at Herman Park. The closed eye is Kim Barker. It was taken behind the building at the Day Job.
