Finally starting my master piece
At first for my master piece I wanted to do something involving aviation but now, I want to do something completely different, I really enjoy photography and I think it'd be cool to take some pictures with the new phone I got today and post them! I took some photos when I went over to my grandmas. (These pictures look a lot better in my camera roll hah)
