The Photo Assignment
Starting with this episode, I’d like to add a new feature: The Photo Assignment.
These will just be suggestions for you to try ... or not, as you see fit. There is never any obligation.
The photo assignment for this episode is: within a 100-meter radius, of your kitchen table, look for 10 interesting things to photograph. If you choose to participate, film or digital pictures are acceptable. And if you like, you can submit your BEST image to the Follow the Light Facebook page with your particular information.
