    December 16, 2012
    Yesterday a couple of my friends remarked that I seem to take a lot of photos. Yes, yes I do. I have explained to them several times about my #366creativityjournal project (which is now more of a photography project rather than just the journal project itself). But maybe because I have never really showed them ...
