My personal picks for Top 12 of 2012
Wordpress weekly photo challenge just so happened to conveniently coincide with what I was planning on doing Sunday, but pushed off until today, anyways; The top 12 of 2012, or “My Year in Photographs” so to speak. I enjoyed going back and seeing how far my work has progressed, and I have to say (#humblebrag) I’m really impressed with how much I’ve developed as both a photographer and an editor over the last year. My shots and compositions are a lot neater and more focused and I stopped over saturating when I edited. It also helped to remind me of all the places I’ve visited this past year and of memories with friends who have since stepped out of my life. Selecting only 12 shots from an entire year’s worth of work was like pulling teeth, and I don’t think these are my best 12, but more like the ones I enjoy the most. I chose these for a variety of reasons but mostly because I feel like they stood out on their own, differentiating themselves from the rest of my work. I tried to selected photos that, when presented alone without context, could be displayed and enjoyed by a casual observer. I like the variety in this class as well, and while I would still predominantly say I mostly take nature photos, I’m beginning to see my perception isn’t entirely true. Overall it has been a wonderful year and I’m lucky for everything I’ve gained over the course of it. I can only hope 2013 brings me as much joy and takes me to as many beautiful places.
Happy New Year

Mmmm, interesting work!
I tried to pick exciting shots but even still it was a nightmare getting it down to 12! Thanks for the comment though
Where was “Dirty Mary” taken. Think that is my favorite photo.
I shot that on White Beach in Boracay, Phillipines. It was on a tidal rock a lil way from shore (shot at low tide) and the name of the grotto may or may not be Willy’s Rock. It was kind of hard to get answers on that lol.
I did another post about it here if you are interested http://endlessframe.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/dirty-mary/

Thank you very much! I hope 2013 blows this post outta the water!
Good shots, Frank!

There’s a year to be proud of! I love the candles shot, and the tiled Buddha. Happy 2013.

The candle shot is great. Nice change of pace.
Thanks! I had so many of them that I tried to do something different with the editing. Looks like it worked out!
i am captivated by your pictures! your eye is amazing! cheers.
Thank you for your kind words!
Great!
Thanks! Im surprised about all of the positive feedback ive been getting
I see you like silhouette shots, as do I – they can pack some punch. And I like how you processed some of them.
Yeah I love them! Partially because I work all day and by default am shooting late in the date. But they’re also really pretty and leave a lot of the viewer’s imagination!
You’re incredibly talented, I love all of these and they resonate with me on a deep level. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad they affected you so!
