Yes, it's the eighth challenge, the last one before the final where the 3 remaining candidates will fight it out. And it's the one challenge I really hated to miss: Analog Photography!

Yes, I know today is the 8th Challenge of that Generation Art thing, but I have something else to tell you, something important! Generation Art will have to wait until tomorrow!
