Noemi's Notes No. 9

Noemi's Notes No. 9 February 18 Hello again, I hope this finds you well. We all have our weaknesses. In art, my weaknesses are depicting realism and the illustration of light, so I decided to teach myself those things. So far I have been working on black and white still lifes, trying to capture light correctly. It's tough, but I'm already improving! You miss all the shots you don't take, after all.
