This collection of glorious BLACK & WHITE images i took on July 6. I had a fairly lazy Saturday. I took a mini-road trip over to Jefferson for some A&W and had Jay, Willy, Monica, and Graham over for watermelon. But that was about all I did all day.
This was Shorty & Doris’ farm.
Only 1 day of alternate glorious BLACK & WHITE images left to share, but it might take several days to share them all. We’ll see.
Time to share the final collection of street photography images I took in downtown Des Moines while searching for an ARCHITETCTURE picture for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
This collection is making me want to get out there and do some street photography! Like right now!
Last October the Boone Fire Department burned down the old Pizza Hut to get rid of it and to practice. I didn’t actually watch it and photograph it, as I was out of town. Logan and Nathanial got some amazing photos of it though. I’m not here to share those though. I’m here to share some pictures I took of what was left of the old Pizza Hut after they were done with it.
Here are those pictures:
I can’t say I was sad to see Pizza Hut go. Other than it was an eating option in Boone gone. Granted, one I never used. We were a hardcore Godfather’s family when I was growing up. Even after Godfather’s left I never really ate at Pizza Hut. In the last several years it was open the only time I had Pizza Hut was when somebody bought it for the youth group. So there aren’t a lot of fond memories in the rubble for me. Hopefully someday something new will take its place. For now, it remains an empty lot. And the pizza options in Boone are currently: Casey’s (3 stores to choose from), The Adobe, Bellucci’s, Roosters, Pizza Ranch (if you want to pay an arm and a leg), and Domino’s. Which is probably enough. But when has there ever been enough pizza options?
Last September I ended up in Jefferson and I wandered around doing a little street photography of their beautiful, fascinating downtown area.
Have a look:
One more collection of images from this little jaunt to share.

Here is the list of rules for Year 11 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:

3. Deadline to submit your submission is 11 AM next Monday.
4. To be considered the photographer of an image, you have to be the one that clicks the shutter. If you hand your camera over to somebody else to take a picture of you, you are NOT the photographer of that image.

There are still 2 ways to submit:
1. Email your submission to bennett@photography139.com.
2. Text your submission to my Google Pixel 8 Pro.

The big milestone this week was Elizabeth joining the 2.5 Year Club! WooHoo! WooHoo! Woo!
But it wasn’t all fun and games. There was a literal bloodbath of streaks that bit the dust. Johnathan and Mary couldn’t build on last week’s submission. Jen’s streak is over at 6. Willy’s streak is over at 7. But worst of all Scarecrow, Sara’s streak is over at 15! Sacre bleu!
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:
WORK! What a great theme for Year 11 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE!
I look forward to seeing your interpretation.
That is all I got, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will see your idea of WORK in this place that hardly feels like work most days next Monday.
LETTERS OR NUMBERS! A great theme! But were enough people their own dawg enough to make it a popular theme? You will have to keep scrolling to find out!

Jen is now in the lead to be crowned “The Most Travelled THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE Photographer!” Jesse and Andy and Scott are in striking distance though!
The big milestone this week was Adam joining the Double Digit Streak Club! WooHoo! But it wasn’t all good times. A ton of streaks bit the dust. Nader and Amy couldn’t build on their submissions last week. Suzie’s 5 week streak is no more. But worst of all Scarecrow, Vest’s 41 week streak is history! The humanity!
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:
RUINS! What a great theme for Year 11 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE!
I look forward to seeing your interpretation.
That is all I got, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will see your idea of RUINS in this place that could us a sprucing up next Monday.
You probably spent the last several minutes this morning eagerly, constantly refreshing your email inbox waiting to see what delightful images were submitted for last week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme LETTERS OR NUMBERS. Unfortunately for you, I am probably standing in a convention center in New Orleans right now, stashing thinking about hiding in the snackroom closet for the rest of the day. I’m near plenty of computers and very expensive and very slow internet, but unable to compile, upload, code, and put together an entry of last week’s submissions.
I’ll put together such a post when I return to the Cyclone State. So look for that possibly Tuesday evening, but most likely Wednesday evening. You will just have to hold your metaphorical horses. Unless you own real horses. Then hold your real horses and try not to look down on us poor saps that only have metaphorical horses.
However, just cause you can’t see the submissions for LETTERS OR NUMBERS yet, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start working on this week’s theme. It is a doozy! It is one of my favorites and it has been a theme in virtually every year of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Dating back to Year 3. The year the name changed from the RANDOM WEEKLY PHOTO EXPERIEMENT to THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.
This week’s theme:
I took the RUINS theme picture on the backside of McHose Park. It is interesting that the remains of this old bus are rotting away there. But there are plenty of things that have come sliding down the hill into the park from what I believe was the old city dump. For somebody that loves rusty, abandoned, disintegrating stuff, it is a thing of beauty.
I look forward to seeing your interpretation.
That is all I got, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will see your idea of RUINS in this place that could us a sprucing up next Monday.
Seems like a good time to share some alternate images I took for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme LEADING LINES. I took all of these pictures on a hike through the backside of McHose Park.
These pictures are almost 3 weeks old, but looking at them, it dawns on me that I should get some pants that fit better. No promises though. I’m still not finished with my cleaning out my closets project. I’m close though. Pretty dang close!
I took a few pictures for the THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE theme CIRCLE a week or so back. Thought I would share with you all the ones that were good enough to make the cut. Most of these were taken in McHose Park, but a few were taken in other locations. But all in Boone.
Here are the alternates:
I do love a good shape theme! It is a theme that makes you look at the world in a slightly different way (SPOILER: that is what all the themes should do) as you see how shapes fit together to make the entire picture you see. It is a great exercise to help you improve your compositional skills. Maybe next year I should do some combined shape themes. Like SQUARE AND TRIANGLE. A submission would have to include both of them. I’m starting to fall in love with my own idea. I’m sure that is the first time that has ever happened.
Time to share the final image for the 2024 Photography 139 Calendar. The December image. It is an image of an abandoned (methinks) church I found in northeast Iowa on a THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT road trip:
I chose this image for December because I usually like to either use a cold picture or some religious imagery for the December image. This picture might not scream “Christ is born!” but it is of a church. Not a lines are straight.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
CAMERA: Sony ILCE-7M4
DATE: August 20, 2022 – 12:34 PM
LENS: 28-75 f/2.8
FOCAL LENGTH: 28mm
EXPOSURE TIME: 1/5000

It was converted to black & white in Photoshop.
That is it, that is the final image for the 2024 Photography 139 Calendar. But while those 13 images were selected for the calendar, they weren’t the only ones considered. Not by a long shot. There were 73 other images considered and not included. But I would like to give them some love.
Here is the first collection of reject images:
There still another 36 images that didn’t make the cut. That doesn’t mean that won’t make the cut next year. The cover image for the 2024 Calendar was rejected for the 2023 calendar. Share the rest on Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday.
