2012 Top 20 -- Photo 1

I took this back in April. Any photo I took after it this year would have had a hard time beating it for the #1 spot. Heck -- Pentax featured this photo on their Facebook stream in a blurb about me. This is one of those images that just works well, and I'm pretty proud of the final result, too.

And, a final fun fact: This image was taken during the same shoot (though two days later than) image 16.



Next year I'll continue this blog, for the three people who read it regularly, and for myself. Last year I set a pretty ambitious goal -- a different roll of film, camera, and lens combination every day. I managed that for much of the year, but since taking a job in the suburbs let it fall off. So next year this blog will be slightly different. I'm not sure exactly how yet. I plan to mix the subjects a bit more -- photography, how-to, technical information, and so forth. With luck, I can figure out how to embed YouTube videos and have them be centered. One thing I hope to do is more integrate this blog with my YouTube channel.

Anyway, have a safe and happy new year and stick around in 2013 for more, exciting, and bigger  blog posts.
