Some favorites from the past year

I really like this photo of Spartan from last fall:

I am also fond of this extreme close-up from November

—mostly because of how well the idea worked out with only a basic camera and no special lenses.

Generally, I've been taking more care with my photos, which I like to think are better than some of my early cringe-worthy efforts. (Must reshoot that someday.)

For more visual stimulation see my Big Apple photo (taken at Ellis Island), my Tydeman's (shot at the Bronx Zoo), American Beauty, Roxbury Russet (finally correct!) and Coromandel Red.

I continue to revisit autumn with this ode to one perfect apple.

From the past year: These are a few of my favorite things.
