\n

Greetings from the Sierra Nevada. It is that time of year again when we all look back at the events of that last year, and look forward to the year ahead. Many photographers have developed the good habit of editing a collection of their favorite images for the year.\u00a0The process of self-assessment is a vital part of artistic growth. In the day-to-day rush of life, we don\u2019t often stop to see trends in our own image-making. By turning back the clock, we can see if we\u2019re stuck in a rut or are hopefully making great progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I have included capture details, date and time of exposure, in chronological order. I hope you will visit my blog and add your comments or favorites at the bottom of the page.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

May 2018 brings you joy, peace, and exciting photographic opportunities.<\/p>\n

Cheers to a happy and healthy New Year!\u00a0 \u00a0Bill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
