I have to confess, I was a little worried about this week. As I crawled out of bed this morning to head to the Computer Mine, I had only received 1 submission in my email inbox. Despite one person telling me at the State Fair that they had just taken… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 49 – REFLECTIONS

Participation took a little bit of hit this week. I’m sure it probably had to do a bit with the fact that there are only 2 times a day somebody could take a picture for this theme. If they were taking the theme literally. Or maybe something else caused a… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 43 – SUNRISE/SUNSET

I though I would be Johnny-on-the-Spot and guess this out as soon as I got back from Milwaukee, but I spent my weekend being in parades, helping give sermons, raising money through pie auctions, supping with friends and family, going on walks with Naima, going to baby showers, watching about… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 40 – BLUE
This week’s theme seemed to really inspire lots of people. Including first time contributor and conspiracy theory enthusiast Joe Lynch. Who wanted it known that those aren’t clouds in his picture. They are chem trails. Dropped by “them” on the “masses” to dumb us down or make us easier to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 39 – SKY/CLOUDS
This week ended up being something of a rebound week. All the negative emotions that people felt towards EMOTIONS was left behind and they expressed positive emotions towards PERSPECTIVE. Particularly exciting this week is we have a submission from first time contributor Stephanie Kim. Stephanie lives the farthest east and… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 38 – PERSPECTIVE
EMOTIONS was a profoundly unpopular theme. I’m sure destined to hit the cutting room floor if this challenge extends into a second year. Maybe it was the holiday weekend. Maybe people were like feelings? Actually feeling something? No thanks! Back to my mass consumerism, thank you very much*. Either way,… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 37 – EMOTIONS
It looks like LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS also wasn’t an extremely popular theme. Might have to put it on the chopping block if this little project continues into a second year. I guess we’ll see. On the positive though, it was extremely popular with first time submitter Sara Lockner. Hopefully this… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 36 – LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS

A slight dip in submissions this week, but that was to be expected with a bit harder of a theme. It wasn’t too much of a challenger for first time contributor Geri Derner though! Here are the submissions for WINDOWS: Kim Barker 1 Kim Barker 2 Kim Barker 3 Kim… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 33 – WINDOWS
So I made a rookie mistake and left my camera battery at work over the weekend. Good thing that I had already taken a plethora of pictures of old things on Wednesday.

I’ve been looking forward to this week’s theme since I wrote it on a green Post-It Note and dropped it in the hat. Jesse Howard, long time Photography 139 supporter and apparent beard lover, entered his first submission. Hopefully it is the beginning of many more. Let’s look at the… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 30 – RUINS
