Above are 3 Instagram photographs. Can taking a photo with a camera or an iphone have any romance to it? In a way I feel it does.

Making Room for Change
I have a chalkboard behind my desk that has become my vision board. About once a year I decide to erase it and start all over. It symbolizes my personal and creative growth by containing quotes, art, and a mixing of items that brought have me inspiration over the past year. I have not set [...]
