Reflecting on 2016 it was a bad and good year combined. However, while it is a year I want to soon forget and not remember, my photography captured moments that will remain in my heart.
Out of the all the images I captured in 2016 it seems these are the ones that were the most liked on my Instagram. Do you see a pattern here?
The pattern being nature and outdoor photography, as well as photos of my Azrael. What the pattern also reveals is my love of New Mexico and how some of my best captures are with friends.
Thank you, friends, for sharing the majority of these moments.
