Featured Photos Weekly Challenge
This Week’s Challenge: #PRTV_culture
Challenge was a great opportunity to try something new with Toby's trip in Vietnam. Whether you went with a bit of pop culture or something from your hometown it's a bit of life through a different lens.Next Week's Challenge: #PRTV_textCapture some text, or things that look like it at least, for this week's challenge. Something a bit different but capturing words as your subject, or adding to it, can really add to a story for your photo.
Roy’s Features:
A great shot by Maxence with the busy energy of a city and graffiti that makes up an area.
A common memorial for surfer culture really fits to a T for this week's challenge.
A bit of local food fits the theme for this week, Eileen has a fitting caption “Food is very representative of a city’s culture. In order to really get to know the place and the people, you’ve got to eat the food “ ~ Emeril Lagasse.
