My Year In Pictures

2009 was an interesting year for me. While my technique certainly improved, many questions came up around where I want my photography to go. The one thing that became clear is that to continue improving, I need to focus – currently I flit between landscape, wildlife, and travel. I’m not saying that will I only do one type of photography, but to really get better I need to dig in to and invest in one.

My goal for 2010 is to really embrace travel photography. In particular I want to focus on cultural storytelling. I’ll be in India in February and Kenya in June – there will be lot’s of stories to tell.

Despite the questions of 2009, I did come up with a set of images that I feel pretty good about.

I really like the Mesquite Dunes. Love the Tufa at night too. You said you would go to Kenya, If you ever go south to Tanzania (Arusha), it would be great to meet you.
All the best for this coming year!
