Day #4 | Mobile Photography Lenses
Day #4 of the Stay Out There challenge is something of an extension to Day #2 where I published a series of mobile photography tips. Lenses For Mobile Photography As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I’m a big fan of taking photos with my iPhone.

Disqus Commenting System Removed From Site
A little housekeeping post today to say that the Disqus comment system has been removed from the site, and we’re back to regular WordPress comments.
