Every year I try to select my favorite photographs of the year and I have finally (and belatedly) finished that task for 2019. I was trying to catch up on all of my photographs from my Western trip in the fall and that task is mostly complete. You’ll find the twelve photographs below in this post — let me know what you think!
A necessary disclaimer of this type of list is that it is subjective — this is what I love the most right now, and someone else looking at the same body of work would likely come up with a different list. Similarly, my own preferences can change as well, and on a different day I might choose different photographs.
I realized when doing this list that I’ve actually been making these lists for ten years, making a nice tidy decade of favorites. Since these lists existed in a wide range of locations, I decided to gather them up and put them all here in my website. You can find my decade of favorites starting from 2019 and counting backwards here, and my decade of favorites going forward in time here.
I found this process even more fascinating than a single year of work as it allows assessment of artistic style, taste, subject, and skill over time. Hopefully you won’t see my path as one of long and slow degradation!
