It’s World Photography Day today, the day when the world celebrates what marked the beginnings of photography, its history, the arts and different types of creative processes that make photography the amazing artform that it is. Louis Daguerre and Joseph…
Spot is our awesome, once-upon-a-time-needing-to-be-rescued, GSP. We think he is the best dog in the world, we love him to bits and spoil him rotten. He joined us 3 years ago on Good Friday of 2019. Since we don’t know…
