Taking a picture of my iPhone or computer would be too easy. So (other than Diet Coke) here's the one thing I just couldn't live without!

This is not a good photo by any means, but I couldn't pass up taking my Daily Shoot picture at U2 in Frankfurt :)

Day 221

Triangles keep the viewer’s eyes on a photo. Follow a triangle, and you see other elements. Make a photo with triangles.

Insects are everywhere. Photograph a bug in your environment (no spiders - they're arachnids).
