Been a busy week where I taught two smartphone photo classes.
I want to update my main class to add different images, not just gardening. Probably more food and architecture.
And I want to develop my Flatlay class.
Any other class ideas?

Playing around with ChatGPT by uploading some target images and asking it how to create that look and feel in lightroom, then following the 'recipe'. Lots to learn.

I sure would like it for an army of people to deep clean my house and stock it with my favorite food while I’m out.
Two questions, can they come every month instead of 4 years, and is there enough room for all of my favorite cheeses?

Decided to enter a photo contest at the last minute (bragging rights only); this image didn't make my personal cut but it has a cool spiderweb on it.
