2011 End of the Year Wrap

Oh hey. I haven't been posting here much lately but it is more because I've been working and shooting and traveling and basically -- not blogging. I sat down to do an end of the year wrap up and I don't have much to post. I have several stories that people are sitting on till next year. Until they are published I don't have tons that I can post here....so...this will be a short wrap up.

In more ways than one this was a growth year for my business as a photographer. I'm still growing in my shooting but if I could show images of how much more organized my business life is it would be boring but accurate. Oh -- and the whole getting married thing was kind of a major part of things -- but I didn't take photos of that. So instead I'll just show you neat locations ... does that even out?

View of Glacier National Park from a helicopter ride in June.

Bikers -- East Glacier, Montana.

View from St. Mary's -- East Glacier, Montana

Two images from the Lorraine Motel in Memphis where Martin Luther King Jr. was killed.

Those were some of the more memorable locations I visited this year that I can show without spoiling publications for next year. As things move forward there should be more work on the blog but till then Happy New Year!!

Best of 2010

I started 2010 in a power outage in Montana, searching for puppies in the snow. I'm writing this now from my parent's home in Georgia. Later this week I'll back in Montana to start the new year and hopefully it won't involve lost dogs or being stuck in the dark.

Looking back at the start of this decade it's strange to think that in 2000 there was no 9/11, or orange alerts, or Katrina. I wasn't in college when this decade started and people were worried about Y2K. I wasn't even a photographer yet. Not really. Lots can change in 1o years - or just 1.

What the last 365 days have involved is family, friends, travel, and fantastic food. I've put together my favorite photos from 2010 - both personal and professional. For me there isn't a way to separate them. I hope wherever you are (home, stuck in an airport terminal, toasty in a coffee shop) you get to celebrate the end of this decade with people you love. Happy New Year and enjoy the photos.
