20 for 2011

Today I am reviewing images from the past year and dreaming up next year's wanderings. Here are 20 photos that I am happy with today.

This has been a year full of change at the Snyder house. Ally and I were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lucinda, in July. The need to stay close to home cut into our usual wide wanderings, and pushed me to shoot near home. All these photos are from within an hour or so of our house. This year I was reminded again that in photography it is not what we shoot, but how we see. And that what we really photograph is not the landscape, but the light.

Let me know which of these you appreciate the most. I'd love to know. Best wishes to all in 2012.

I'm having a hard time responding because I love them all! But especially: #1 for its surprising colors; #5 for its mysterious textures & implied meaning; #7 for its delicate simplicity; #10 for its gorgeous living light; #12 for its snow tracery & deep peace; #15 for its breathtaking sky; #17 for its perfect tiny moment; and #19 for its incredible union of earth, water, and sky. (I hope I've got the right ones ID'd - it was hard to pinpoint them without their being numbered.) In any case, these are 20 beauties - rock on in 2012!
