The “Year in Pictures” thing is a popular theme this time of year. I think a lot of photographers love the retrospective.

This year I put together a group of my favorite portraits. Most of these are not “sit and smile” shots. In fact they are off-the-cuff shots of friends and family. those are often my favorite images. As I was going through my Lightroom catalog, I saw shot almost 30,000 images. I know that I do enjoy revisiting my past images.

I learned going through the last twelve months of images; I haven’t shot enough portraits. I will have to address that shortcoming in 2017.
