Look Through My Lens. Sunday, January 3, 2016. The Year in Review. I wanted to take a moment and look back upon some of the things I have accomplished this past year.

I couldn't have done it without all of you. So, here's a look back at 2015 with much appreciation! HPP Media and Design encompasses Hoi Polloi Photography.
