    Theft

    I’m not particularly interested in the technical side of cameras, nor do I have the dedication to lug around huge lenses and cameras every day.

    Crafting Cool Sentences for You

    ‘Hi there. So, I had a major fallout with a friend yesterday, and I’m just not great with words, you know? It’s been bothering me, and I’d love to get two killer lines to send back. Can I buy something like that?’
