Here is a collection of images I took for the WEEKLY CHALLENGE, that didn’t make the cut. JUNK, GRAFFITI, MUSIC, and LANDMARK are all included. I’ll try to be better next time.

That includes first time submitter Bill Wentworth! Here are the submissions for TECHNOLOGY: Bill Wentworth Christopher D. Bennett Mike Vest Dustin Jackson Kim Barker Angie… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 23 – TECHNOLOGY
There was a bump in participation this week. Maybe we’ll get another bump next week. I have to confess that I wasn’t able to get the image I wanted this week because the junkyard I was going photograph was snowed over. Which is too bad, even though it is a… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 22 – JUNK
Oooh. This week came dangerously close to the first strike against this project, but then Kim came in with a photo Monday morning. Maybe this was a theme that didn’t ring many bells or maybe it was all the “bad” weather last week. Regardless. Solid work Kim! The submissions for… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 21 – LANDMARK
This week’s theme was MUSIC. There must not many lovers of MUSIC out there as participation took a bit of a dip this week. That is okay, because the submissions were great. Hopefully next week’s theme trips more triggers. The submissions for MUSIC: KIMBERLY BARKER CHRISTOPHER D. BENNETT ANGIE DEWAARD… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 20 – MUSIC
It is exciting times around the PHOTOGRAPHY 139 WORLDWIDE HEADQUARTERS. There is a first time submitter in Dustin Jackson this week.

Some of the regulars weren’t out and about this week, but that is okay, because there was a first time contributor in Sarah Karber! I’m expecting big things from her in the future! Here are the submissions for STORE: Kim Barker Carla Stensland 1 Christopher D. Bennett Carla Stensland 2… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 18 – STORE

You can look at this collection of losers for RED from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE in a couple of different ways. Either I just wanted an excuse more pictures of my dog. OR Well that is interesting. You see, there is a setting on my camera that drops out all… Read More »With the Beefcake Pantyhose

This week’s submissions for FRAMED: Michelle Haupt Christopher D. Bennett Angie DeWaard Shannon Bardole Time to look forward to this week’s… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 15 – FRAMED
I told you that BLACK AND WHITE photography was my passion. So… Buckle up buttercup, this is going to be a long one… Sometimes I forget that smack in the middle of Ames is the most beautiful campus in the world. I should really visit it more often. GO STATE!!!
I don’t think that it is a secret to anybody that knows me at all that black and white photography is my true photographic love. And we all know that true love is the greatest thing in the world – except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce, and tomato… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 14 – BLACK AND WHITE

Next week’s theme: BLACK AND… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 13 – GAMES
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… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 12 – STILL LIFE
There were a few other RELIGION pictures I took the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE that didn’t make the cut. Thought I’d share a few of those. I don’t know if there will be quite so many losers next week.
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: Kim… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 11 – RELIGION
There was a bit of a falloff in participation this week, but that was to be expected. I fear this week’s theme will really scare people. That is okay, everybody needs to get out of the comfort zones once in a while. This week’s submissions: Carla Stensland Kim Barker Laura… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 10 – WORK
Not everybody can be a winner. Like people who get really angry about Participant ribbons. Those people aren’t winners. These pictures are the people-who-get-mad-about-Participant-ribbons of the FOOD theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Submitted with bits of commentary. What I eat for breakfast about every Saturday. Because I like to… Read More »With the Plastic Eyeballs
A pretty fair amount of submissions this week. I hope the momentum continues next week with a subject matter many people are less familiar with than FOOD. There is also, not one, but TWO first time contributors in this week’s submissions! Hopefully they feel inspired to keep submitting, even though… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 9 – FOOD
