WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – HOT
This is your reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is HOT:
Happy photo harvesting!
Birthday Road Trip
My birthday present to myself was hitting the open road with just my thoughts, a killer playlist, and my camera. Union Grove Park was one of my first stops. Took this photo there.
Often people tell me that they want to go on one of my photo road trips, but I think it is rare, the person that could survive, let alone thrive under the conditions of my pilgrimages. But applicants are welcome, but you know, they aren’t often accepted.
PARTICULARS
CAMERA: Sony ILCA-77M2
ISO: 100
FOCAL LENGTH: 18mm
APERTURE: f/5.6
EXPOSURE: 1/125
DATE: 05/20/2017 – 12:04
PHOTO ASSISTANT: A good towel would’ve helped. Wish I would’ve had one of them.
PHOTO EDITING SOUNDTRACK: “One Day” by Matisyahu from LIGHT
FAVORITE LYRIC: “Sometimes in my tears I drown; But I never let it get me down; So when negativity surrounds, I know some day it’ll all turn around.”
We Make Plans to Go Out at Night No. 2
More pictures that didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme AMERICANA:
Who know what these pictures could accomplish, if only they believed in themselves.

The Last Youth Group
Last Wednesday was the last youth group of the year. It was an interesting year and filled with challenges, but hopefully it turned out alright.
On the last night, we just had a movie night. The kids watched MOANA and painted. Here are a few pictures from that night:
It will be interesting to see what happens with the youth group next year. Hopefully, they finally hire somebody to fill Alisa’s giant shoes.
If you’re wondering what I’m going to do with my future Wednesday nights, I will be starting a new photo project (hopefully) and will be revealing the details (hopefully) next Wednesday.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 88 – AMERICANA

But enough dwelling on the past. Time to look to the future. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future! This week’s theme:
HOT!
HOT! What a great theme! I don’t think I even need to define HOT, you know what HOT is all about.
However, remember that next Monday is Memorial Day (observed). While your bank and the post office might take the day off, Photography 139 does not. Email your submissions early or plan accordingly.
HOUSEKEEPING
A MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 RULES DIVISION
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 11 AM 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.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION DIVISION
Nothing new to report. I’ll try to do better next week.
Want your own Photography 139 email subscription? Call, email, or text me and I’ll get you the hook up.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 GALLERY DIVISION
Sometimes people send me descriptions of their photos. I’ve never done anything with that information in the past. However, if you send me a description in the future, I will add it to your image in the Weekly Photo Challenge Gallery that houses all the submissions.
**************************************
That’s all I got for today, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will commune right here again next Monday. Hopefully it will be a very hot Monday!

The Great What Cheer Road Trip Photo No. 1
A couple Saturdays back I loaded up into an automobile with Mom, Teresa, and Logan and we headed to the What Cheer Flea Market. This photo has nothing to do with What Cheer, Iowa. On the way back we went through Pella to check out their world famous tulips. Here is a photo from that part of the road trip:
This portion of the road trip was slightly damaged by an overzealous, drunk-with-power, Johnny Law. However, my mood recovered enough from that interaction to enjoy the rest of the trip.
