It’s my time to announce a new photo challenge on the blog. Just like all the previous challenges we have found it in the book: “The photographers playbook“. This time I want to challenge you to make a book cover: Think of a title for a book that you wish you could check out from …
Shelly ask in her blogpost an open heart and an open mind: “How did I do, Kristina?” After some consideration I decided to reply with a blogpost :) Suddenly I don’t know where to start; maybe I should start in Sweden, late last August on the Baltic Toy Safari, or should I start in May with …
