This week was all about black and white images…from just one session. Seriously, anyone who has tried to do a photo “challenge” consistently will know that it’s really tough to stay consistent. Building something like this into your routine takes time, and effort, and the knowledge to be…
Keeping up with a weekly photography challenge is HARD! When you work in front of a computer for most of the day, you’d think it would be easy to get out for a bit a couple of times a week.
