My Favorite Photos of 2024

Every year, I like to take a look back at my output for the year and select my favorite photos for the year. If you search the site for ‘favorite photos’ you’ll find this post on every year dating back to when I first started the site in 2012. Now some of you may be looking at the title and be thinking: you’re a bit late, aren’t you? And yes, yes I am. As you know, my output on this site has been wildly diminished as I have been very busy over the past couple of years with work and family, and while I haven’t written that much, I was still shooting. As we near the end of 2026, I want to put my favorite photos post up for this year sometime in December or early January, but I need to clear out the backlog first – so here is the post for my 2024 photos, and I’ll do 2025’s photos in the next few weeks, before sharing my favorites for 2026 at the end of the year. Again, these aren’t necessarily my ‘best’ photos, but my favorites for the year.

2024 was somewhat dominated by my trip to Italy in the summer of that year, but I did manage to shoot some other things too.
