This year was a year that I didn’t take very many photos. This year, the pictures were about being in the right place at the right time, rather than about improving skill. My really terrible point-and-shoot has discouraged me to the point that I’ve been using the iPhone camera more than it! That being said, here are the picture that made me pleased this year (only one of them an iPhone picture in the end).
The Bagdad, Portland, Oregon.
Sunset over the ocean.
Seaside Aquarium
Jon, Tim and Brian in Cannon Beach.
Taken just before the storm rolled in. I’m noticing that most of the pictures I chose this year feature how the light looks at that moment.
From the Vista House, Oregon.
Violets in my backyard.
The fact that this is blurry plays into why I like this picture so much. It looks more like a painting to me than a picture.

At the very end of spring, everything is covered by a beautiful moss. Most of the sidewalks near me have sidewalk stamps with the date they were installed (in my neighborhood, usually 1911-1920) and the name of the sidewalk builder.
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - the night before the IronMan.
Glass of the Duchess at Higgins, Portland, Oregon.
The most complete mammoth in the world. Milwaukee Public Museum, Wisconsin.
The only iPhone picture in the line-up. I’d like to take this one again with a better camera.
