I try to get my Photo students to take a series of 10 pictures each week on a specific and narrow theme.
This helps make you more mindful and aware as an artist and human.

Sitting in the tea house, looking for free, easy online spots to help you create your stop photo animations in my absence.
I have found a few–lets see if any of these are available at school 🙂
Much love to you all!
