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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
