Happy Thanksgiving! For some people, Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday, free from buying gifts and holiday stress, surrounded by friends and family where food is the main event. On the other hand, sometimes these traditions and trips bring a whole other set of baggage. But today we celebrate place where it all happens, at The Dinner Table.
Since this is a day for giving thanks, first a huge thank you to the Lenscratch staff who works hard to celebrate all things photography, in particular Daniel Chung and Daniel McCullough who helped craft this post. And finally, a huge thank you to those who submitted and to our readers.
And now, The 2017 Dinner Table Exhibition!
