Photography

I tried to get involved in Featured picture candidates but, well, it didn't go well. I have however had some of my photographs featured on the front page as part of the Did You Know? section (It's pretty cool even if they are only 100px square). In addition I have uploaded photos that were also featured on DYK. Links for both are below.
