Yeah, AMVIV was great! While I didn’t shoot thousands of pics, I did manage to snap off a few. They’re in RAW format however so it takes me a while to process them. Plus, I don’t post every single photograph because it only gets repetitive.

If anyone is interested in wallpaper from any of my images, leave me a comment on the flickr pic.
