Oh But Still

September 4, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

You couldn’t have possibly thought that I didn’t have alternate FLOWER photos for last week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE did you? Of course, I took lots of flower pictures last week, but only a few were contenders for my submission to THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.

Here are the contenders that could have been somebody, but ended up being a bum, which let’s face it, is what they are:

4 hours from this post, I’ll be vacation. Sweet, sweet vacation!

It’s Hard for Me to Weep When I’m Strong

August 28, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

When I went out in the middle of nowhere Boone County to fly the drone around an old country church to take my RELIGION picture for last week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. I took several photos. Some of the church. Some of the little park across the road. Some of the windswept fields of the nearby farms.

Here are some of the pictures I took on the drone flight:

Hopefully I can get Rodan139 out this weekend too.

So Many Stories of Where I’ve Been

August 7, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett 1 Comment

I took plenty of NATURE photos that just weren’t ready for the world on Monday. They needed a little bit more time in the oven. These pictures were taken at Summerset State Park, Harrier Marsh, Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge, and Honey Hollow.

I haven’t even thought about this week’s theme yet…

Another collection of ANIMAL pictures that didn’t quite make the cut for Monday’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE reveal. Almost all of these pictures were taken in Jester Park.

I don’t make it to Jester Park enough.

My Mind was Full of Razors

Last Friday night I prowled around Boone for a little bit taking NIGHT pictures for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Many of them, just couldn’t make the cut for Monday. But they seem to be ready for the world now.

I really don’t do enough NIGHT photography these days.

This is a collection of some small collectionS of pictures I took back in May. Oh, May. Such a simple time.

Some of those pictures were alternates for the RULE OF THIRDS theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.

My Fear Doesn’t Stand a Chance

If you are near your Photography 139 Calendar, you know that today is a big day for the Photography 139 Universe. Today is Naima’s birthday!

While Naima is spending her birthday socially distancing as there has been a resurgence of Covid in Iowa and in most of the United States. You can still leave your gifts for her on the front porch. She might even come out and greet you.

Not enough Naima photo for you, click on the link below to peruse over 700 of them:

Happy birthday Naima!

I took a ton of alternate images for my favorite theme BLACK AND WHITE. Here is a collection of them:

Still have one more collection of these pictures to share!

And My Colors Change Like the Sea

I don’t think a person should go into too much detail about how you create your ABSTRACT images, but I think these alternate ABSTRACT images aren’t too hard to figure out.

I hope some of you enjoyed making your own ABSTRACT images last week.

This is your reminder that this week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is BLACK AND WHITE:

BLACK AND WHITE

This is by my favorite theme as my first love in photography is BLACK AND WHITE.

June 27, 2020 Christopher D. Bennett

The pictures in the folders 2010-01-14 and 2010-01-17 include the first 2 pictures I took for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. When it first came into existence, it was known as the RANDOM PICTURE OF THE WEEK. It was a project that was started jointly by me and Vest. Dawn was the first person to participate. The first theme was USE OF SPACE. The second theme was SOOTHING. I don’t know that either theme has been used since.

Also included in one of these pictures is the 4th PERSONAL PHOTO PROJECT OF THE WEEK. A picture I took with Derrick as a tribute to the movie (500) DAYS OF SUMMER. Still one of my favorite movies and a top ten comedy for me.

By adding these pictures to the Photography 139 Gallery, I was able to restore the following historic “An Artist’s Notebook” entries to their original glory:

Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve Sara and a Bible, but not together.
