Dreams, pursuits and goals don't just happen. They don't just manifest into existence. You have to get up, get going and make them happen. Make them real. That is if you really, really want them. Well, do you...?

Point of Interest

“What are you looking at?” Vogue, by Madonna

In a photo, no matter how simple or no matter how complex, the eye of the viewer is always drawn to a point.

If may come off as a strange statement but I am glad that this item broke. Really, truly, I am. Now, here’s the deal: the item in question is a UV photographic filter.
