Finding Joy in Looking Back
Each photograph carries a story: the new technique you finally mastered, the creative challenge you pushed yourself to try, the moment in nature that surprised you, or the scene that made you stop and breathe.

Introduction to Scanography by Donald Simpson
Scanners used to be used only for making copies, faxing, creating PDFs, scanning slides, photos and photo negatives. But not anymore. They can now be used to create beautiful art with resolution and print sizes well beyond the size of the scanner. Perhaps even as large as a wall in your home. There is no other equipment to purchase or set up, then take down, making it easy to create this art within minutes of conceiving an idea. You are limited only by your imagination.

In addition, you need to edit and get it posted online – maybe to your own personal social media page, or one as a part of a larger group doing the same thing.
