Another time to hit up the backlog. These pictures I took on May 8:
It was these last few photos that lead to the Great Jake Sullivan Failure.

Them Photogs, They Coming Up on Me; I Cut Off the Ladder, And I Told ‘Em,”Bye-Bye”
More alternatives for COLORFUL that the world couldn’t handle on Monday. I’m hoping it can handle them now:
Most of these photos were taken at Boone First United Methodist Church. A few were taken in the campustown area of Ames. The pictures of Naima were taken in the Photography 139 backyard.
Most of these are an incamera special effect that is far from perfect, but often creates interesting results.
You’re welcome world.
This Ladder of Photography I Climbed; I Took the Machete; The Game Isn’t Ready
The world wasn’t ready for these COLORFUL pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world can handle them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer:
All of these photos were taken at Boone First United Methodist Church. Many of them with an in-camera special effect. More of these “tomorrow”.
You’re welcome world!
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 124 – COLORFUL

What a great 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:
JEALOUSY!
JEALOUSY! What a great theme! What a tough theme! I consider this to be maybe the toughest theme is this set of 52 themes. What is a JEALOUSY picture? A JEALOUSY picture would be of somebody being JEALOUS(Y) of somebody else. For example of an Iowa Hawkeye fan being JEALOUS(Y) of an Iowa State Cyclone fan for having a college education. Or another example would be showing something that makes you JEALOUS(Y). I don’t have a very good example for this, I experience JEALOUSY so rare.
As always, I look forward to 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
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 jealous Monday!
Weekly Photo Challenge Reminder – Colorful
A reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is COLORFUL:

Happy photo harvesting!
Algona is an Anagram for Analog
Still hammering away at that back log. Here are a few pictures from my trip to Algona with Joe.
We went to Algona so Joe could pick up a van to server as a distribution center for his cannabis oil business. The trip didn’t work out. We didn’t come home with the van. However, I got to meet Joe’s dad, which was a fascinating experience. Plus we swung through West Bend to see the Grotto of the Redemption. Then to cap it off, we supped at Tom Thumb’s in Fort Dodge.
All in all, it was a great day at sea!
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 123 – FOOD
There was a healthy participation rate this week for FOOD, but I have to confess that I thought it would be even more popular. After all, every single person that is reading these words ate FOOD last week. Perhaps were still in the Seasonal Photography Depression Window. But thanks to everybody that submitted a photo. Participation looks good on you!
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions!

Russell take notice. There are at least a few other people out there that like to take pictures of their food!
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:
COLORFUL
COLORFUL! What a great theme! What does it mean? Think about something in your drab existence that lacks color. Like say you work in a cube farm. Endless dreary walls of gray. In that existence, something bright and saturated really stands out. Look for things that really stand out due to their near excess in color. Then photograph them.
As always, I look forward to your interpretations!

I don’t think FOOD needs a definition or any examples. Everybody eats food. Now just take a picture of your FOOD and send it to me!
Happy photo harvesting!
Weekly Photo Challenge – Week 122 – High Perspective
I usually start this blog post with a statement on how participation rates went this week, but this week I’m going to start the week differently.
A recent subscriber and often contributor to the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE Tamara Peterson’s husband Glenn recently got a tough diagnosis and they have a long fight ahead of them. They are legitimately 2 of the best people I have ever known. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Thoughts are good. Prayers are better.
Also, Jesse’s Dad has been going through some complications with his cancer treatments lately as well. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Looks like HIGH PERSPECTIVE was not a super popular theme, but that is okay because we have a submission from Andy Sharp. His first submission!

FOOD! What a great theme! I don’t think I need to explain FOOD to you. Hopefully, all of you put enough of it in your mouth every day. If not, I know some people that can help you out.
As always, I’m interested in seeing your interpretations!

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – HIGH PERSPECTIVE
A reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is HIGH PERSPECTIVE:
HIGH PERSPECTIVE
A HIGH PERSPECTIVE photo is one where you are looking down on the subject or a picture where you are higher up than normal. No examples this week. Happy photo harvesting!
