Every year, I think it’s a good exercise for every photographer to go back through the shots they’ve taken and see what kind of a photographic year it’s been for them. \u00a0For instance, I felt 2011 to be one of the biggest years of growth in my photography since I started. \u00a02012 was a little bit of a letdown for me personally, though I certainly got some good shots. \u00a0Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to shoot as much as I’d have liked this year, especially from June onward. \u00a0Such is life…will just have to make more of an effort next year. \u00a0Anyway, I’ve gone through my images, and selected a bunch of my favorites from the year. \u00a0These are just personal favorites of mine. \u00a0They may or may not be my best of the year, but they’re my personal favorites.
