Year in Photos 2020

It’s that time of the year again. And somehow this year was weirder than 2019. Fewer photos taken, dancing around Covid, my first 52 Portraits project (more on that later.) It was just another strange year for me and photography.

So lets break it down a bit…

	2019	2020
Total Images	8,795	6,957
Most Used Camera	Sony A7R M3	Sony A7R M3
Most Used Lens	Sony FE 50mm 1.8	Sony FE 50mm 1.8

Most used cameras didn’t change much between 2019 and 2020. My main camera is still the A7R3, the little HX-99 is my standard point and shoot, and the iPhone XS got a lot of love again. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

The biggest thing I’ve noticed since I moved back to Montana is the reduction in the number of photos I take. I know it’s not about quantity by itself, but as an indicator of how I’m spending my year, it says something. I need to shoot more.

I’ll start a new 52 Portrait project this year, and will start exploring other photo projects I can work on even without the plethora of models I was surrounded by in Portland. I’m still not overly inspired by landscapes, so I’ll just have to get creative.

Here’s to a better 2021.
