the 312 hole

To wrap up the year, I wanted to look through my photos and compile a few lists of the things I enjoy shooting. I will be posting the top 10 photos across 10 categories to close out 2010. These 10 categories will be: Books, Film, Portraits, Projects, Sports, Weddings, Cityscapes, Travel, Videos and Live Music. Last year, I made similar lists, and you can see my 9 in ’09 here.

While I have never had a formal ‘portrait’ session with anyone, I always end up taking a lot of candid shots of friends and family – some of them love it, some of them hate it and there is one guy who always ends up flicking off the camera!

My goal for next year will be to work with off-camera flashes for various lighting techniques. As it is now, I shoot most everything with ambient light – except for a few where I’m bouncing flashes. This will definitely be a learning process, but should be well worth it.

I recently looked through some older rolls of film from the summer. I had completely overlooked this strip, and it has a series of great portraits that I personally really like.
