How to passively aggressively get even in 6 steps
A new couple moved in down the street. The dude just loves big, stupid monster trucks. My problem is not his taste in hobbies (per se, but that’s another post).

If I can capture here, I can capture anywhere

30 Day Photography Challenge Day 1: Rule of Thirds This rule dictates that photos should be split into nine equal parts, like a Tic Tac Toe board, and the important bits of your subject should intersect with these lines at some point e.g., eyes or heads or the flower bit of a plant.
