The Child Hunger Ends Here Campaign from ConAgra and Collective Bias

Can You Create Art on a Camera Phone?
Yes, I think you can. Maybe not art that will be hung on your walls (although services like Printstagram and Teeny Tile make it possible), but the art of the everyday, of real life, of your life. My phone is almost always with me, an enabler for capturing the meaning...
Camera Phone Collage Week #11

Phone Photo Friday: Weekly Camera Phone Collage #10
I was such a lazy Instagrammer this week that I can't even put together a decent phone photo collage. I finished teaching my first year of Challenge II at Classical Conversations on Tuesday, and we're still knee deep in end-of-semester/season chorus and baseball. We...
