Hi everyone,
100 Snapshots is a challenge I undertook as part of my recently-completed
101 Things in 1001 Days project. I had so much fun putting this together and finding creative ways to capture each word. I feel like there were three or four shots that I rushed so that I could make my deadline, but overall I'm really happy with the results.
This little list of words helped me to cross off another of my "101 Things", which was to create a book of my photography. I haven't received my copy yet, but you can see the preview
over here!
Thanks so much to the creators of this community for writing such a great list of words. I'm looking forward to tackling the next 100 words next!
