by NS_Photography
Apr 25th 2012 - 0 comments

Many photographers enjoy receiving feedback about their created images. Services such as Flickr and even Instagram are built at least partially around sharing your images and, hopefully, receiving some comments and praise in return. There’s something fascinating about having your work interpreted though someone else’s lens, and when Matt Richardson invented his “Descriptive Camera” he [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/46/22/68/462268.jpeg[/IMG]
