Quiz! letters


I wanted a nice graphic to go with the weekly quizzes in my Intro to Photography class. So naturally I figured the best thing would be a banner made of photos.

And at long last I made it to my 365th straight photo. Out at the stadium I looked around for something that said “365,” but the closest I could come was five off.
