Best of 2012 | Places
I don’t normally do blog posts with 30+ pictures, but I also haven’t done a “Best Of” post in a long time. Actually, I didn’t even do one for 2011, so it’s been quite a while. Anyway, since my Adobe Lightroom tells me that I took approximately 10,000 photos in 2012, I’ll be splitting up my Best of 2012 blog post into 3 entries: “Places,” “Artistic,” and “People.” It was too hard to put them all in one post, especially since my wife and I got the opportunity to travel to Europe last March (we left a year ago today). The below images were hand selected for the “Places” category – as you’ll see, a lot of them are from England or France, which was expected! I never even really did any blog posts about our trip to Europe – there were just too many pictures and too many stories. Overwhelming. Maybe I’ll still do that in the future, but not right now. A few pictures from Austin also made the cut at the bottom, but unfortunately none from Chicago – still my favorite place to photograph, but I didn’t get back there with my camera very much last year. Alright, enough words – enjoy the pictures. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I took the equivalent of 416 rolls of film last year. Crazy.

Is it too late to wonder where your “Best of 2012 – People” and “Best of 2012 – Artistic” albums are? 🙂
I had the “People” one created as a draft but hadn’t added any commentary yet! It’s posted now, so go check it out. Thanks for paying attention! I have a few other things I need to post first, but I’ll put up the “Artistic” one here soon too.
