found project - small victories

booooooom's project #10 is called small victories - a photographic project. it looks super fun & i may have to submit a few photos (like this one).

"Small Victories is a photographic celebration of the everyday! A collection of 4×6 prints of the quietly beautiful, unintentionally funny, people and things all around us. I believe it is these little moments that make life worth living.This project will culminate in a photo show at Above Second gallery in Hong Kong, in May."
