Allison Jennings is a photographer who has some really great work in "selective coloring". Her philosophy: "As I look around I see the world as if I’m looking through my viewfinder. Everything around me is an inspiration. Three years ago I began project 365—where participants are challenged to take a photo everyday for the whole year. I am currently in my second full year of the project, which inspires me to continue to create images and motivates me daily to expand my photographic knowledge."
