My Favorite Images from 2016
At the beginning of every year I look back at some of my favorite images from the previous year and think about those experiences and how they had an impact on me. A lot of photographers do this. I always enjoy looking at everyone's work and participating in the voting process some photographers hold to determine their top images of the year.
This year I decided to list 16 of my favorite color images and 10 of my favorite black and white images I made in 2016. Color photography and black and white photography are so different for me I just had to separate them. I find them to be two totally different mindsets. Anyway, these images are some of my favorite images, which might be different from my best images, technologically or compositionally speaking.
I've listed them in chronological order below, starting with color. Hope you enjoy and happy new year,
