365 Sponsor Needed
Now, for the 365 update. Ok, I knew this project was going to push me outside my comfort zone and that’s why I decided to do this crazy 365 thingy. But I’m into day 6 now and I’m already thinking to myself “What the heck were you thinking?”

It’s all in the P.O.V.
Point of view (P.O.V.) can make or break images so today I ran through an image I shot last week and how I changed up it’s POV.

You want a free Holga camera….So here’s the deal, I want you to drop by my blog and simply make a comment to this effect…”I’m breaking the law” or something like that. I’m going to draw two winners this Monday, but remember, you can only be eligible if you post on my blog.
