But that is the past. Let’s look to the future. After all, the future is where we will spend the rest of our lives! Future events such as these will effect us in the future!


WEEK 36 - LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS
LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS

I don’t think LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS requires much of an explanation. You are staring at letters right now. However, there are many forms of letters and numbers, so as always… define the theme as you see fit.

It is a good time to review the rules of the RANDOM WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:

RULES

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 noon 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.

HOUSEKEEPING

THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION DIVISION

I am pleased to announce that in the last week, we have added 4 new email subscribers to the Photography 139 Empire. Jodie Bennett, Corinna (Logan’s lady friend that I never attained a last name for), Jeff Daniel, and Stephanie Kim all showed off their keen intellect and sophistication for signing up for an email subscription to this here blog. I’d normally go into a lengthy description of each person, but since this entry is already getting off the presses over 7 hours late, I’ll just remind you that if you run into these fine folks on the streets of Brooklyn or wherever, feel free to give them the knowing glance and teach them the super secret Photography 139 handshake.

That is all I got, so if the Lord is willing and the creek don’t rise we’ll see you here again next Monday.

AIN’T NO PLACE TO HAVE A BABY



When you got no man to give it his last name…


And her folks back in Manhattan didn’t want her or her bundle…


So she took her child and caught an evening train…


She found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner…


At least it buys her baby milk to drink…


He once told her she was pretty…


But the only ring it got her…


Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink…


Yes she lay beside him gentle…


‘Cause he told her that he loved her…


And he made her dance before the music played…


But at least she didn’t beg him…


She’d rather wash her dishes…


It makes her feel as if her hands are clean…

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 12 – STILL LIFE

If I didn’t already have an established protocol for the naming of the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE journal entries, I might have named this here entry: WHERE HAVE ALL THE DUDES GONE?

Male participation has declined dramatically in the last couple of weeks. I’m not complaining for personal reasons. I’ll never complain about being surrounded by such lovely ladies. I’m just saying its weak. Get on it men!

Here are this week’s submissions for STILL LIFE:


WEEK 12 - STILL LIFE - ANGIE DEWAARD
Angie DeWaard

WEEK 12 - STILL LIFE - CHRISTOPHER D. BENNETT

WEEK 12 - STILL LIFE - KIM BARKER

WEEK 12 - STILL LIFE - SHANNON BARDOLE

Time to look to the future and reveal this week’s theme:


WEEK 13 - GAMES
GAMES!

But how does one define GAMES? I would define it like this:

GAMES – noun – a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decide by skill, strength, or luck.

Nothing new from Photography 139’s Shameless Self-Promotion Divison to report.

As always, I look forward to seeing this week’s submissions!

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 11 – RELIGION

I knew this week’s submissions would be a little light with the combination of the theme and the holiday. However, participation didn’t take too much of a hit. Hopefully it will rebound next week. That theme is pretty easy, but does require a bit of effort.

This week’s submissions:


WEEK 11 - RELIGION - KIM BARKER
Kim Barker

WEEK 11 - RELIGION - CARLA STENSLAND
Carla Stensland

WEEK 11 - TRINITY BARKER - RELIGION
Trinity Barker

WEEK 11 - RELIGION - ANGIE DEWAARD
Angie DeWaard

WEEK 11 - RELIGION - CHRISTOPHER D. BENNETT
Christopher D. Bennett

WEEK 11 - RELIGION - SHANNON BARDOLE
Shannon Bardole

Time to reveal next week’s theme:


WEEK 12 - STILL LIFE
Still Life!

Don’t know what STILL LIFE is? That’s okay, I have a definition:

STILL LIFE – noun – a representation chiefly of inanimate objects.

No housekeeping notes today. As always, I look forward to seeing all the submissions.
