2023 hasn’t been a year for writing. Or for a lot of intentional photography. My priorities focused heavily on people and experiences, and I’m happy about that.

I shot significantly more in 2023, but they were largely snapshots. 5,460 iPhone photos vs. 2,576 A7R3 photos. I subscribe to the notion that the best camera is the one you have with you, but in 2024 I’m going to try to make sure that camera is the Sony. More intentional photography, (but not fewer snapshots of friends and experiences.)

The 52 Portraits project ended up being a collection of unintentional portraits. I’m not sure I’m mad about that. Each year seems to bring something different with that project, and 2023 just ended up having a more candid theme. I didn’t limit the selections to specific cameras or put any solid rules on it, just went through photos from the year and picked out some portraits. I’m not sure what 2024 will bring to the project, but I’m looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

2023 was an interesting year. I definitely deviated from my usual routines, and I’m hoping 2024 brings the same level of new experiences and adventures.
