The Daytime Crap with the Folksinger Slop
Here is a collection of pictures that didn’t have what it takes for POP ART and THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
Thanks for joining me to mock this pathetic collection of losers.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 58 – POP ART
I wasn’t sure how POP ART would go over as a WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme as it is a little bit harder to wrap one’s mind around than the typical theme. However, there was still good participation. I love it!
Although I good stand here and talk all tommyrot about participation, you just want to see the submissions. Here they are:

Christopher D. Bennett

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:
ROAD TRIP!
We did this theme not that long ago, so it should be fairly fresh in the old memory banks. A picture of anything that might be a part of a road trip. My personal favorite road trip pictures are the super kitschy ones where your posse takes their picture in front of some landmark. That’s just what I enjoy. It isn’t like the photography I enjoy had me recently compared to a serial killer or something… By people who I’m sure are experts in the field… But I digress. All sorts of things would qualify. Pictures of an open road. Pictures of a car. Of a map. Of some place you went on a road trip. A ROAD TRIP could be solo. It could be with 5 friends. It could be a trip across the country. It could be a trip to the store. You’ll figure it out. BUT I WILL REMIND ME YOU OF RULE #1! Just because you took a great ROAD TRIP last weekend… doesn’t help you at all this week.
As always, feel free to define the theme how you see fit.
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.
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 open roadsy Monday
Arbo Daisy
This is a picture I took of some daisies way back when I was on vacation. Which was way back in early July. Some of us don’t get infinite PTO. You know who I’m talking about:
If you are the type that likes daisies, good news, probably more in the backlog coming your way soon.

Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #1
Last Wednesday before Youth Group, a hearty clan of painters painted the south wall of the old Salvation Army Building. This phase is just to make it less of an eyesore. Phase 2 will involve painting murals where the boarded up windows are. Well, it is one of the phases.
This group consisted of a lot of Sharps, Pastor Doug, Pete Nelson, and I helped do some of the finishing up work at the end. Here are a couple of photos:
The last 2 pictures are from setting up for the Youth Group. I wish I would’ve gotten some pictures of that, but I didn’t. I was in charge of the lesson for the Sr. High Students. The idea of the lesson was to talk about what they liked and didn’t like about previous Mission Trips. This was going to be bookended by the old preacher’s story “The Lonely Ember”. We got the first part of “The Lonely Ember” done and lots of Mission Trip talk done, but we never got quite to the closure part as we ran out of time.
Oh well. At least everybody got to eat s’mores!
Messenger of the Gods
This one goes back a ways.
Sometimes I hate the iris. Sometimes I’m at peace with the iris. Today, I’m at peace.

I Stood in the Disenchanted Field
Last night was the annual Hayrack Ride for the Youth Group. Unfortunately, I brought the wrong lens and the wrong flash, but here are a few pictures from the evening.
Although, I probably wouldn’t have taken many pictures any way. A flash in the dark isn’t the most popular thing in the world.
But there was a good turn out. 30-35 kids. Most importantly, a good time was had by all AND there were no clown sightings!
