The Boring stuff that no one really cares about…

Let’s face it, no one cares. But, it is a testament to how hard photographers work to get better and do better. The best way to grow in photography in my opinion, aside from photographing more people, is to enter photographs into a judging pool where OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS who are experts in their field pass down judgement of your work. Super scary, but so so enlightening.

So here is all the stuff…Nicole is super proud of it.
