My internal censor/editor not really good enough to accurately pick top 5 out of the 160+ rolls shot this year. Ha, ha, and sometimes, what I like, others not so much. These five are a representative example from the last couple months of my Flickr account.

It was an ‘okay’ year, though I did have a few commercial jobs I was pleased with.

Five shots from the personal work this year - maybe not necessarily my ‘top’ or best ones, but just five that I like:

Very nice series -I am in awe of the pecan harvest. New Mexico seems to be one of those places I like to look at but would never visit. Cheers, OtL

This is brilliant.

Great idea Pan! I'm enjoying everyone's images.

 

[Out to Lunch]

A modern rendition of the Hindu Goddess of Mercy -even though she only has one pair of hands. Cheers, OtL

Here's five from me. The "end" of Covid means skateboarding events are up and running again across Europe and I spent a good chunk of the year (when I wasn't sick, at least) back on the road. Some of these I may have posted here before. Generally I don't put skate stuff on RFF because I don't know how many people would like this sort of thing here. But I'm quite proud of a couple of these.

Outstanding work Vince. Your photos remind me of an excellent photo book, Cracker by Jon Kral:

Many thanks -- my biggest problem (amongst the many!) is finding time and money to be back out West. After that, it's really just stumbling upon opportunities -- and I'd say that 95% of the time it truly is stumbling!

Good stuff everyone.

My 5 favs that I took in 2022.

Not a lot of street shots this year from me. I like this one.

Turns out I rather enjoyed the SWC/M last year!

For the last 18 months or so I’ve been trying to commit to taking just the SWC on bushwalks. I’ve been shooting landscapes on film for years, but I’ve always had a digital backup. It’s been nice to fully invest in the one camera/one lens ethos.

Mt Ida | Hasselblad SWC/M and Pro400H
