Title & Description
Monday Flash: The Photo That Changed You
In the rush of everyday life, we often postpone what truly matters — our feelings and the stories that shape us.
Monday Open Call invites photographers to pause and reconnect with themselves through their one most important photograph and a short letter to their past self.
Together, they form an intimate dialogue between image and memory — a space where art meets emotion.
