Remember. Age is just a number. But OLD/ELDERLY… that is a judgment.
Happy photo harvesting!
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – OLD/ELDERLY
OLD/ELDERLY
Category Archives: WPC
OLD/ELDERLY
Do Not Believe Everything that You Read on the Internet
The world wasn’t ready for these STILL LIFE pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready now. But I can’t hold them back any longer:
You’re welcome world!
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 127 – STILL LIFE
Despite the nicer weather, participation rates for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE haven’t rebounded. Might be time to consider retiring it at the end of this 52 week run. Maybe everybody gave up the Weekly Photo Challenge for Lent?
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you came to see the submissions:
Kim Barker
Christopher D. Bennett
Kim Barker
Linda Bennett
Tamara Peterson
Andy Sharp
While the submission be little in number, they be strong in heart!
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:
OLD/ELDERLY
OLD/ELDERLY what a great theme! This picture doesn’t have to be of an old person, but it can be. OLD is a relative term. For example. The kids in the youth group think I’m OLD. Practically ancient. On the other hand the retirement age people from my church think of me as some wet behind the ears punk kid. FIND something or somebody (but I don’t know I would say that to their face) that you think is OLD and take a photo or two.
As always, I’m excited to see 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.

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – STILL LIFE
This is your reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is STILL LIFE.
STILL LIFE
A STILL LIFE photo is a photo of an arrangement of inanimate objects.
Happy photo harvesting!
What? Were You Lookin’ for a High Five? Nice Try!
The world wasn’t ready for these SMALL TOWN pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer!
Most of these pictures were taken in a small town west of Boone called Ogden. A couple were taken in a “town” between Boone and Ogden called Moingona. It isn’t pronounced how you think it should be.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 126 – SMALL TOWN
The old WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE seems to still be suffering from a case of the winter blues. Hopefully participation rates will rebound in the next few weeks as the weather gets warmer again.
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions:
Cathie Raley
Christopher D. Bennett
Cathie Raley
Andy Sharp
Kim Barker
Shannon Bardole
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:
STILL LIFE!
STILL LIFE! What a great theme! What is a STILL LIFE photo? Here is a good definition:
Still life photography is a genre of photography used for the depiction of inanimate subject matter, typically a small group of objects. It is the application of photography to the still life artistic style. An example is food photography.
As usual, I can’t wait to see your interpretations!

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE WEEK 126 REVEAL
I went to Minnesota for the weekend, but I’m not sure I’ll be back in time for the traditional Weekly Photo Challenge Reveal.
If you are seeing this blog, I didn’t.
But you can start working on next week:
SMALL TOWN!
SMALL TOWN! What a great theme!
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – JEALOUSY
A reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is JEALOUSY:
JEALOUSY!
I consider this theme to be the hardest of this 52 week set. A photo of JEALOUSY would be a picture of somebody expressing JEALOUSY or something that makes you personal JEALOUS(Y).
Happy photo harvesting!
