Developer Rejections of Images
During development, we reviewed countless images — some were approved, others were rejected. But even the rejected ones carried a story. They were part of the journey, part of the struggle, part of the evolution. I couldn't part with them so easily.
Sharing them here feels right.
DB STRONG lives through every stage of creation.
It was an honor to develop this website.
Best Regards
