After spending the better part of the morning (and probably most of the coming afternoon) clicking and reading through this blog, I knew I had to share it here.
Enjoy!

Wow Olivia , Thanks for sharing. So much info to absorb .. 🙂
I’ve spent a bit of time reading the Alan Renzler blog. Even though my book is about Food, France and Photography and the only dead bodies are at the abbatoir, I found the comments on rhythm very helpful. Thanks for the link.
