 This was me on one of my first photography outings of the year 2023 was a defining year for my photography. I Was finally able to say what I was trying to communicate with the photographic process. The images I make are about trying to show the essence of nature in a black and white photograph. And this is how I choose to express myself in an artistic way. I came to accept that what I like to make photos of is probably not everyone's cup of tea. That's okay. That's what makes my photography mine. I photograph what many might consider insignificant. Looking back on my photos of the year, I noticed I didn't go far from home. Many of my subjects were found while walking my dog Nori. Less than a mile from my house. Well, maybe next year I'll venture a little farther out. 2023 was a year of growth, discovery, and acceptance. This is a collection of my favorite photos of 2023. Nori and I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. We'll see you again next year. Nori and I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. That's it. Well, Nori and I wish you Merry Christmas. That's it.
