Longtime visitors to the site will know that each year, I go through the photos I’ve taken and select a group of images that I personally liked the best. They may not be the absolute best output of the year, but they’re the ones I like, for whatever reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 was an OK year for me photographically. I switched my kit over to Nikon partway through the year, and that was an interesting endeavor. I didn’t shoot nearly as much film this year as I did last year, with only two rolls shot early in the year. I plan to pick up my Mamiya C330 again for a fair few shoots in 2024, and I have a healthy stock of film in my posession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I didn’t have any incredible photographic trips or shots in 2023, I did have a fair few that I did enjoy, and I’ve presented a selection below, in chronological order. Click on any image to enlarge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
