We've been talking about finding a way to keep the flame alive, that was awakened during the photography course. Our wish is to keep on taking pictures of new themes, looking at the world around us with curiosity - seing things in our everyday environment in a new light.
The fruit of this wish is "4 Ways Photography Challenge", which will be launched this Thursday.
4 Ways Photography Challenge is a monthly creative meme, where we wish to challenge you and one another in finding 4 ways of photographing the monthly theme, which in April is
Self Portraits in 4 Ways 4 Ways Photography Challenge is open to everyone! No experience is needed, every sort of camera is usable - both cell phones and iPhones have good quality cameras today.

The themes will change from month to month, we'll let you know on Thirsday the themes for May to August.
