Been a busy week where I taught two smartphone photo classes.
I want to update my main class to add different images, not just gardening. Probably more food and architecture.
And I want to develop my Flatlay class.
Any other class ideas?

I disagree - potatoes, brown rice, lentils, chickpeas, peanut butters, seaweed, oatmeal, mushrooms ... all pretty reasonably priced sources of fiber. Admittedly a bit boring without fresh apples or kale; hard to find in food pantries. I'm totally speaking from privilege so let me know if I'm wrong.

Playing around with ChatGPT by uploading some target images and asking it how to create that look and feel in lightroom, then following the 'recipe'. Lots to learn.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR DEMOCRACY COLLAPSES:
I sure would like it for an army of people to deep clean my house and stock it with my favorite food while Iβm out.
Two questions, can they come every month instead of 4 years, and is there enough room for all of my favorite cheeses?
