Landscape, Nature And Travel Photography

Recently in conjunction with a few random meetings, conversations and photography outings I’ve had an epiphany or two in relation to my outlook on photography.

Since initiating the project on May 14th I’ve been introduced, and in some cases re-introduced, to some great photographers. The subject material, photographic styles and skill levels of those submitting may vary, but [...]
