The world wasn’t ready for these alternate FRAMED images for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE yesterday. Hopefully by laying down some groundwork yesterday the world will be able to handle them. I have my doubts…
That is Willy’s eye behind the brick. The tunnel is located on the most beautiful campus in the world, Iowa State’s.
You’re welcome world!
A bit of a rebound in submissions this week for FRAMED. Let’s keep the positive momentum going!
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk tommyrot about participation rates. You came here to see the submissions:
Carla Stensland
Christopher D. Bennett
Tamara Peterson
Carla Stensland
Angie DeWaard
Becky Parmelee
Shannon Bardole-Foley
Mike Vest
Stephanie Kim
A solid 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:
PARTY! What a great theme! You don’t need to be going to a PARTY to take a picture of the PARTY theme. PARTY supplies. PARTY invitations. PARTY preparations. PARTY aftermath. They all count. Or you can hang out with me. Cause wherever I’m at, there is a party going down.
Interpret the theme however you see fit and I look forward to seeing 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. 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 partied out Monday!
This is a reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is FRAMED:
A FRAMED photo is a photo where the main subject is “framed” by other objects.
Happy photo harvesting!
On Monday the world wasn’t ready for these LANDSCAPE pictures for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. The world might not be ready yet, but I can’t hold them back any longer:
All these pictures were taken either north of Boone. West of Boone. Or northwest of Boone.
Usually when I start this weekly post with something about participation rates being kind of lax this week my email inbox suddenly gets several submissions. Not this week. LANDSCAPE didn’t ring the bell for many people. Maybe it was the cold weather this week. Maybe it was the excitement of Manafort Day! I don’t know, but there weren’t many LANDSCAPE submissions.
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk tommyrot about submission rates. You came to see the submissions!

A solid week of submissions! Though they be small, they be mighty!
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:
FRAMED! What a great theme! But what does it mean? A FRAMED photo should have its main subject matter boxed in by what we’ll call negative space. What is around the subject should make a frame for the subject. For example, a frame makes a great frame. A window makes a great frame.
Of course, that isn’t the only definition of FRAMED.
However, use your imagination and define the theme anyway you see fit.
As always, I look forward to your interpretations.

This is a reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is LANDSCAPE:
A LANDSCAPE photo is as simple as a photo of some land.
Here are some LANDSCAPE photos to help fuel your fire:
By Carla Stensland
By Dawn Krause
By Teresa Kahler
By Kim Barker
By Micky Augustin
By Cathie Raley
Now that your fires are going… happy photo harvesting!
The world wasn’t ready for these REFLECTION images on Monday. The world might not be ready for now, but I can’t hold them back any longer. Here are the alternates for REFLECTION:
All of these pictures were taken at either McHose Park or Ledges. You’re welcome world.
People weren’t exactly beating down my email’s inbox door for this week’s theme of REFLECTION. Yet, there was some really great submissions.
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you came to see the 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:
LANDSCAPE! What a great theme! But what does it mean? How about this:
all the visible features of an area of countryside or land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.
A landscape photo can include water (waterscape) or a city (cityscape) or the ocean (seascape). At least it can for our purposes. But as always, feel free to define the theme as you see fit.
I look forward to seeing your interpretations!

This is your weekly reminder that the theme for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is REFLECTION:
I don’t think that REFLECTION needs much of a definition. You probably own a dictionary. If you don’t, SHAME!
Happy photo harvesting!
MACRO might be the most technically difficult theme on the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Despite that, several people buckled up and gave it a spin!
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates, you came to see the MACRO submissions!

REFLECTION! What a great theme!!! Also, I don’t think it requires much of an explanation. Some surfaces show back what is looking at them. Mirrors for example. Water. Mylar. Of course their is more than one definition of REFLECTION. So interpret the theme as you see fit.
As always, I look forward to your interpretations!
