You can look at this collection of losers for RED from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE in a couple of different ways.
Either I just wanted an excuse more pictures of my dog.
OR
Well that is interesting.
You see, there is a setting on my camera that drops out all other colors but red. It is far from 100%, but it creates interesting images.
Oh… also a picture of my trip to Hilton with Jen, Derrick, Evie, and Layla thrown in at the end there.
This is a look back at the photos from the calendar I gave as Christmas gifts in 2012. You’ll see many of the same images from the flower calendar. I have no doubts.

I’ve never done what one would call market research, but I did make a change to the 2015 calendar and then made a change back in the 2016 calendar. That is this. The 2015 calendar has big numbers for the dates. I found this to be aesthetically pleasing. However, some feedback I got was that this made it more difficult to write on the calendar. Therefore, I changed back to small numbers for the 2016 calendar.
I’ve also been asked why I don’t include birthdays or “different holidays” any longer. The reason for that is because of the diverse audience that the Photography 139 Calendar now reaches, I don’t know how many of those people need to know the date my nephew Brandon’s birthday (December 4). However, I could probably add International Talk Like A Pirate Day back to the calendar.
I’ve already stated that I’m going to go back to diversifying the subject matter of the 2017 calendar. I have this glorious plan of taking each photo for the 2017 calendar during the corresponding month of 2016. This means that my plan of going back to my plan of lining up certain subjects with certain months will probably go to the wayside. Sorry anybody that was getting jacked up for a frog in February of 2017. I’ll try to get a frog somewhere else… like April.
Any way, please leave any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas in the comments section. I might not act on them, but you don’t know until you try.
Looking at these images I think I might go back to my old school way of lining up images with their months in 2017. If I walk away from the all flower calendar. I guess we’ll see how that plays out.

I realize that the March picture means it has been 4 years since I’ve been to New York City. That seems way too long. May have to remedy that next year.
The 2010 calendar was the last calendar that included a human subject. As I open up the subject matter past flowers for the 2017 calendar, it is possible a human subject might find their way back into the calendar. Until then Jill and Sara are the last humans to grace the calendar’s pages.

This was also the last calendar to feature an image that was heavily Photoshopped.
I don’t think it is too bold of a statement to say that this is the only calendar that will ever include a picture of a cat in it.

Don’t forget, there is still time to order your 2016 PHOTOGRAPHY 139 CALENDAR!
Looking back at my records, as near as I can tell, the first year I made a calendar for was 2001. That means this years calendar is the sixteenth calendar I have produced.
I don’t have templates or know what was on the calendar before 2005.
However, I thought it would be a fun little exercise to look back at the calendars from the last 10 years. Starting with the 2006 Calendar:

There were requests this year that the calendar to include a wider swath of my work besides just photos. Apparently, more than just Russell hate my flower photography. I took this under consideration, but it just didn’t work out this year. However, the 2017 Calendar will consist of more than just flower pictures.
This week was perilously close to the first strike for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. But there was a lone submission.
This week’s submissions:
Carla Stensland
Maybe next week’s theme will ring more bells. Maybe next week’s theme will be the first strike.
Next week’s theme:
Should be a simple and easy theme. Take a BLACK AND WHITE picture. Of literally, anything.
As always, I’ll be excited to see the submissions.
Decided to keep a vow (that I made to myself) to go even harder on the Dream Effect. Might have to do this effect with a person soon. Hmmmmm…
You can also see what this image looked like before the effect was applied, by clicking on the image and closing the “Buy this Photo” noise put up by Photography 139’s Shameless Commerce Division.
