Back-to-School Spirit and Your Pinterest Recommendations

I got my weekly Pinterest email today. You know, the one that recommends boards your might like, presumably based on boards you already like and what not. Well they recommended Andy Victors black and white photography board. Now Im not much into photography. I take pictures of things and enjoy the pictures that people I know take but thats about the extent of it. I also think people put too much stock in putting all kinds of filters on photographs.

Americas Got Talent

These people write their own material. I say the singers should have to do the same thing.
