Every year, I like to take a look back at the photos I took throughout the last 12 months and see how things have progressed. 2016 was an incredibly busy year for me outside of photography, as many of you may have noticed. I am sorry that I have been so thin on reviews the past 6 months, but I’ve been swamped at work and home, with limited time to shoot and write. That said, I was quite pleased with my photography this past year, despite more limited shooting time, and managed what I feel is one of my best photos ever this past fall. So, here’s a selection of my favorites I took this year, starting with my top image (the rest are in no specific order). I hope you enjoy!
