MPC #66 "Patterns" (4/26-5/10)

**advres** · 04-26-2011, 08:47 PM

Lane seems to be taking a hiatus so mtcham asked me as runner up to start the next contest. Lane, if you see this before anyone posts and want to change the topic I will be happy to delete.

I wanted this MPC to be accessible to anyone with a camera regardless of ability so I made it about something we see everyday.

Not that you need it but...
