This week we celebrated National Photography Day.
Photography is the beauty of life captured and we wanted to show this off...
Photos aren't just photos and they have a lot of meaning behind them, we came up with lots of different ways to capture beauty and life within a photograph. We asked the people living with us to look into a mirror and give us feedback on what they see and how they have changed over the years. We created a picture collage to show off our photography skills and showcase our work in our waterfall cafe for everyone to see.
