Double Contest: Photography and Art

(why so many pictures? Mentioned below)

Heehee, I just realized this is my 30th post and I have 30 followers. How funny. No? Okay.

It’s the post most of ya’ll have been waiting for…!

Calling all photographers and artists!!!

Let’s celebrate 30 followers, okay? ;)

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but I limited myself, and thought a good time to do it would be when I have a certain amount of followers…30! I wouldn’t have been able to wait until 50, we can do something else then.

I chose something that just about everyone and anyone (or at least most people) can do. There are many more photographers than there are artists, but some artists are more skilled at art than they are photography, but I wanted everyone to have a chance and…

I LOVE CONTESTS.
