Capturing the beauty of little things
I’ve set a personal goal to get better at using my cameras and lenses, as well as improve my eye for composition. What better way to see my progress and hold myself accountable than to document the journey? I will post my favorite shots from my cameras (or phone, depending on where I am) here on my site.
