Photo Directory Update: August & September

Following on from my May, June, & July post, let’s take a look at my August and September contributions to the WordPress Photo Directory. Before August, I had 105 photos accepted and as the month of September wrapped up that number has increased by 8 (sigh, a couple slow months) to 113 photos in the directory.

Photo Directory Update: May, June, & July

Yeah yeah yeah, I’m hella delayed on this post and instead of tacking on August I’m going with May-June following on from March & April’s joint post to get caught up on my contributions to the WordPress Photo Directory. Before May, I had 62 photos accepted and as the month of July wrapped up that number has increased by 43 to 105 photos in the directory.

Part of my June contributions related to LGBTQ+Press’ Share Your Pride photo drive. You can see all the rainbow-themed submissions via the #ShareYourPride2024 tag and the winners and honorable mentions were all wonderful, check out and celebrate the best submissions!
