I have fallen in love with a new camera. It's a tiny bit of brilliance and has ignited my enthusiasm for taking more photos. I often post images on other social media but wanted to compile a collection of my favourites. Most here are mine, but you will find some by Jason Sweet and other talented friends (who will always receive photo credit).
