Frankly, I feel like pinching myself each time a photograph is selected in competition as an Instagram feature! The first win felt surreal, as have the ones that followed — now up to a total of 55 wins from various hubs on Instagram.
Call me lucky, but most importantly call me grateful! The wins give boosted exposure for The Daily Artisan on Instagram (see that one hub below has 12,000 followers, and another 11,200!).
The recent nine wins are detailed below (in a version more condensed than usual), starting with the most recent. Your ongoing encouragement and support mean a great deal to me — onward and upward for more photography victories!
