Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr/Instagram Group Showcase – 5 May 2019

I was told a similar thing, not quite so poetically, when I was promoted and became the technical editor of a print camera magazine, many years ago… it’s long gone. “Many congratulations Joanne, but keep those feet on the ground“, cautioned the main editor of the title.
