Communicating With Images
Language and communication are all about words, right? If we want to get a message across, we find appropriate words and put them together carefully. But, what about images? Are they just there to offer support to the words, something colourful to interrupt monochrome text? Most if not all of us will be familiar with the saying "a picture speaks 1000 words".

Similarly putting the same number of photos on 12 X12 inch page layout looks more organized and less crowded.

Nikon’s Z 105mm MC 2.8 VR lens immediately sold out after it was announced last year; a sought after item since. After waiting months for one myself, I impatiently imported a lens and have been enjoying it in all sorts of ways. Fast-forward a few months and I come across a discussion about the lens on Reddit and realized that folks were still having issues with Nikon’s lack of supply.
