LOM {categories}

These are the categories I set up for my Category Drawers. I used the same titles for each of the four "drawers" as Stacy Julian (in larger font). Each drawer has larger categories (underlined) and subcategories. Going through the photos a second time really helped opened my eyes to some new category possibilities. I provided explanations in many cases (in italics).
