My 30 Day June Photo Challenge – 6 Things I Learned

On May 31st, I decided to embark on a simple photo challenge. I set out to see if I could go outside and photograph the world around me every day during the month of June.

I ended up finding my stride to complete this challenge, and learned a lot about myself and my photography in the process.
