HOTSHOTS ~ 4/4/25

~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~

Hello Photography Lovers! Welcome to another curation report. I either inadvertently lied to myself or pulled the best April Fools joke on myself. It's also possible I am just a glutton for punishment! This is obviously not a short form curation post. But I had fun making it and seeing all the shots that I didn't get to focus on as much in the moment. I hope you all go check these posts out and maybe upvote some of their current content to show your support. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
