I haven’t published alternates for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE for quite sometime because I haven’t taken excessive WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE images like I had been. However, last week I did take a few more ART pictures, so I thought I would share them: All of these pictures were taken on… Read More »Art is a Lie…
I would say that ART was about an average week for participation rates. I figured it would be a higher theme, but it was only average. C’est la vie! Hopefully some people made New Year’s Resolutions to get more ART in their lives, but of course, I am biased. But… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 174 – ART

Jesse and I left for the Alamo Bowl at about 7 AM on Thursday, December 27. Our first stop was at a Casey’s in Peculiar, Missouri. It was noteworthy mostly because gas there was $1.75 a gallon. A good 20 cents cheaper than in the Cyclone State: Our second stop… Read More »Alamo Bowl Road Trip: The Tall Chief
Hitting the 2018 backlog. All of the pictures in this post were taken on June 26 in my yard. Except for the clematis. The clematis actually grows on the back fence of Stan and Noreen’s yard. Noreen is brilliant at growing clematis. A flower that is not easy to grow.… Read More »When I Walk with You…

There were a decent number of submissions for ABSTRACT this week. Several of them came with a question mark attached, “is this ABSTRACT?” I always give the same response to such inquiries. It only matters if you think it is ABSTRACT. But you didn’t come here to listen to me… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 173 – ABSTRACT

Back on December 27, 2018 I began publishing pictures I took for the Boone FUMC Church Directory back in April and May.

Last week Jesse and I hopped in a rental car and headed to San Antonio to watch the Iowa State Cyclones play against the Washington State Cougars and the worst refereeing crew from the Big Ten in the Alamo Bowl.

Here are the pictures from the 2019 Photography 139 Calendar: The front cover is… Read More »2019 Photography 139 Calendar
Happy New Year to people who celebrate such things. I like to look at some meaningless statistics every 250 posts and I also look at fairly meaningless year end statistics. Just so happens that I get to combine them today!! Here is both a year in review and a celebration… Read More »Post #3252 – 2018 Year in Review
I have to confess that this is one of the saddest blog posts I’ve ever had the solemn duty to post. It seems that next to nobody out there has any FRIENDS. At least not any FRIENDS that they would be willing photography. Or perhaps the fault lies in me… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 172 – FRIENDS
The images in the folder 09-23-08 are a little bit all over the place. There are pictures from a Little White Lye Soap sales event. Pictures from Alexis reveling in athletic glory.

The game… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 13
One of the photo projects I worked on in early 2018 was grabbing miscellaneous pictures for the Boone First United Methodist Church Directory. The person in charge of putting the directory together wanted some pictures of the Bell Choir and some pictures of Doug sermonizing. That is why these pictures… Read More »Boone FUMC Church Directory: Chapter 1
As 2019 comes barreling down upon us like a runaway freight train with a faulty dead man’s switch, I realize I probably have quite a bit of 2018 back log to get through. Back in March I went out to Ledges to watch Willy finish the Ledges leg of the… Read More »Iowa Trail Run – Ledges
Merry Christmas from Photography 139! Hope your Christmas was as wonderful as mine was!

Bennett But enough… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 171 – PHOTOJOURNALISM
