It was a weird year. Maybe I'll write about it later. One thing didn't change much--I still took photos. It's become a bit of an annual tradition to post the year's photo stats and image gallery, so here we go. Stats Total Images I took more photos this year. 9,700 compared to 8,040 in 2024....

It took me a bit to get this one done. 2025 started out busy, but I finally have some time to crunch the numbers. I don’t think more than three people read these year in photos posts, but I like to have them for myself to look back on. I skipped the 52 Portraits project... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
It’s that time of year again. 2022 was an odd year in photography for me. I was less than inspired most of the time. My 52 project fell short, and I can’t blame Covid this time. I’m really not looking to blame anything—2022 was what it was. It was great in so many ways, and... Continue Reading →
The 52 Portraits project was actually pretty successful this year, and I feel like I did more model shoots in 2021 than I did in 2020 (obviously--Covid.) I added some stats this year to get a better idea of trends. Instead of just number of photos, I grabbed number of picks and 5-star rated photos... Continue Reading →
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... 20192020Total Images8,7956,957Most Used CameraSony A7R M3Sony A7R M3Most... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year again. Breaking down a few stats from my Lightroom library to see what's what. I already know I took fewer photos this year--it's been a weird year for me photographically speaking. This is something I plan to change in 2020 Camera Use The first thing I always look at is...

UPDATE 9/2019: The move from Squarespace to WordPress broke a few things. In this particular instance, the pretty graphs that Squarespace provides. I'm working on a solution, but until then, this post will not make a lot of sense. 🙂 It's that time of year again. Time to get geeky with the numbers from 2018.... Continue Reading →
I love data. And photographic data is the best kind. The Lightroom Dashboard gives photographers an awesome look into their Lightroom catalogs. So every year, I take a look at what I did the year before.
Ever since I started posting photos to Flickr, I’ve used it as a way to review the previous year. Reviewing the Archive area of my Flickr account is a great way to jog the memory when writing these Year in Review posts. Even if you don’t blog, it’s fun to run back through the memories...
