As I look over this collection I am reminded that it has been too long since I’ve done some full moon photography, like the photo represented by April.
Who wants to keep me company and go do some full moon photography next full moon?

One of my all-time favorite images is in this collection. Can you guess which one?
“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about. Lights, please. ‘And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid and the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.’ That’s what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown.”
Merry Christmas everybody!
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!!!
The 2010 calendar was the last calendar that included a human subject. As I open up the subject matter past flowers for the 2017 calendar, it is possible a human subject might find their way back into the calendar. Until then Jill and Sara are the last humans to grace the calendar’s pages.

This was also the last calendar to feature an image that was heavily Photoshopped.
Time to take another stroll down memory lane. This was the last time I appeared in a calendar. Probably will be the last time I ever appear in a calendar.

The last day to order a 2016 Photography 139 Calendar is approaching quickly. Very quickly.
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 sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe.
But I digress.
The point is I’ve been looking forward to this week for 13 weeks now! Let’s see the submissions.

If it was up to me, I would’ve thrown in BLACK AND WHITE as a category 4 or 5 times. Unfortunately, it just dawned on me that it is up to me. Maybe next year.
But why dwell on the past, when we have the future to look forward to? Let us look at this week’s theme…
This category doesn’t necessarily mean an object inside of a literal frame. Think of this as an object that your view is framed by other objects. Or think of this any way that you like.
MESSAGE FROM PHOTOGRAPHY 139’S SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION DIVISION.
Big time welcomes are due to not ONE, but TWO new email subscribers. So give BIG welcomes to new Photography 139 email subscribers Dawn Krause AND Joe Duff. I believe Joe to be our first subscriber from Texas! Going global… soon!
I would normally tell you that if you see them on the streets to give them a knowing glance AND don’t be shy about showing them the secret Photography 139 handshake. However, the Secret Handshake Division has yet to finalize the handshake. So at this time the knowing glance will have to suffice.
Welcome aboard Joe and Dawn. I know you shall fare well!
I don’t think it is too bold of a statement to say that this is the only calendar that will ever include a picture of a cat in it.

Don’t forget, there is still time to order your 2016 PHOTOGRAPHY 139 CALENDAR!
Looking back at my records, as near as I can tell, the first year I made a calendar for was 2001. That means this years calendar is the sixteenth calendar I have produced.
I don’t have templates or know what was on the calendar before 2005.
However, I thought it would be a fun little exercise to look back at the calendars from the last 10 years. Starting with the 2006 Calendar:

There were requests this year that the calendar to include a wider swath of my work besides just photos. Apparently, more than just Russell hate my flower photography. I took this under consideration, but it just didn’t work out this year. However, the 2017 Calendar will consist of more than just flower pictures.
