I read today about a bunch of people who are going freaking crazy over a blue checkmark gif on a free site that is a total and complete time suck.

I was working on something cool and realized my priorities and, well, some others, certainly don’t align.

That said, I want ya’ll to have a blue check if that is what it takes to be happy and successful. Get to the end to find out more.

This week’s Legacy assignment from Project 52 is a coffee shop ad. Shot on location or in the studio, it can be a great way to introduce yourself to the community - or at least one coffee shop owner.

Gotta start somewhere.

Being out and shooting has tangential rewards; several of my students got paying jobs from doing their assignment at a coffee shop and giving the owner a couple of shots for their Instagram or some other promotion.

Give it a shot (punny?) and see what happens.
