A new (macro) perspective
It’s that time of year again. Last year, I spent my tax refund on the Adobe Creative Suite. This year, after a whole lot of research, I finally decided to bite the bullet and use my tax refund to make another photo-centric purchase – a macro lens! Something I’ve been wanting for years. It was […]
