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:

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

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.

Back to the Fair

A little return to my trip to the Iowa State Fair.


A windmill near the Agriculture Building at the Iowa State Fair.
