My Flickr “pro” account expired today. I will mourn its departure for seven days now, Jewish style. I’m taking donations for a new one.
I’ve been doing a little exploration in terms of photography this past week. I dug up a red filter in my dad’s old camera bags the other day, so I decided to [...]
