The theme was Censorship
I was a little disappointed with the amount of entries this week, I expected a lot more engagement but I know this is a much more conceptual and therefore more difficult theme to capture. But, we have lots of easy themes, then maybe a hard one, then more easy ones :)
Still have some nice shots.
