Happy World Photography Day!

Today is World Photography Day! Wishing everyone a good one.

August is also the anniversary month of when we first opened Aminus3 up as a public photography community. And this August marks 15 years since that fateful August time in 2006.

You can read more about it in the latest Aminus3 newsletter here:

To honor that, here's a photo I pulled from the archives from August 2006. I was traveling in Crete. Check out that sign for 6 hour photos!

This was also where I took one of my favorite minimalist photos to this day of "Cretan Palms".

Canon EOS 20D 1/400 second F/8.0 ISO 400 24 mm

Congratulations on AM3 anniversary and what a wonderful trip down memory lane with the photo developing shop. I can't even imagine waiting for photos to be developed today.

Brilliant occasion and happy anniversary Jason! Fifteen years is a fair chunk of time and it is great to see the community still going. Thank you for all your work behind the scenes.
