The world through my lens
03.01.2021Happy New Year!2020 was a tough year for all of us and I'm looking forward to a brighter year in 2021. Being in lockdown meant that I wasn't able to get out as much to take photos and update my blog. For a time I lost interest in photography and my camera sat untouched, gathering…
