Favorite photos from the week Sept. 11-18This is something I've thought about doing for a while now but I'm finally trying out. It might change, but what I'm thinking is I'll post every week with my favorite photos I took from various events. Sometimes my favorite photos don't go into print simply because of a lack of space or the great part about the photo won't show up in print, so this is an excuse for me to show more of my photography. I'm not married to this specific idea, so if you have any suggestions on how to improve this concept, let me know!
