Thank you to all the photographers that shared their photos showing the spirit of living a simple life in this photo contest made possible by our friends at Resource Magazine. Resource Magazine is a photo and video quarterly publication. Originally focused on photography, we quickly expanded to video when technology began to mesh the two worlds. The magazine is filled with inspiration, techniques, product reviews, photo essays and interviews with big name pros. Established professionals and aspiring image-makers alike can find something to inspire or inform them, and learn a new trick or two along the way.

A special thanks to our friend Alexandra Niki. Alexandra Niki co-founded Resource Magazine with producer Aurelie Jezequel in 2007. And since 2000, Alexandra has also owned and operated Niki Productions, a full-service production company that specializes in prop styling. This has evolved into what is now The Prop Stylist, a bi-coastal prop styling agency representing over 15 stylists and growing.
