Have you visited the CMpro Daily Project to get your daily dose of photography inspiration?  If not, it’s definitely worth checking out!  The CMpros, both hobbyist and professional photographers, are uploading beautiful photographs to it every day and each week we choose a favorite, the DOTW (daily of the week).  This week, this gorgeous photo of a bicycle that just screams french by Anne Wick  stole our hearts.  Congratulations Anne!

We will be interviewing a different CMPro member every month so we can all get to know them better – so exciting!  For April, one of our lovely international CM members (and brand new CM Mentor as of today – congratulations, Lisa!  Welcome to our team!)
