My two favorites from 2008:
(although year is not over yet 😉 )

 

[ClaremontPhoto]

You really think those Photography masters wouldn't choose an image of their little Kid or Grand Kid as a personal favorite, if they had to choose?

No, I don't think they would.

But I must ask: Do you really compare yourself to HCB or Martin Parr?

Where did that come from?

Hexar AF, tri-x in diafine at 1250 iso.

Pinhole

 

[squirrel$$$bandit]

Tremendous picture. Wow.

 

[wilt]

This, perhaps?

 

[visiondr]

Another abstract.
"Crate & Barrel ceiling"

Leica M4-2, Leica 50 mm Elmar-M, TMY-2, Rodinal

"Netarts Bay 2"

 

[photorat]

Tough choice. This could be my favorite of the year.

MP + 35/2ASPH + TRI-X

Nice work! Whereabouts? Somewhere in the Sahel I imagine. Mali perhaps? And where in Antwerp are you based? Lived there for 11 years before moving to Hainault.

 

[lawrence]

Took this early in the year and it's still my fave (Bessa T + Canon 35mm f1.8):

 

[lawrence]

Of the portraits, probably this one (M6TTL + 50mm Heliar Classic):

 

[Rick Waldroup]

Took this early in the year and it's still my fave (Bessa T + Canon 35mm f1.8):

An absolutely beautiful shot. Bravo.

 

[Burlap Jacket]

I quite like these ones:

Thanks! It's from Congo DRC, so not really a desert environment. This is taken in a very small village where I spent a few weeks, about 250 km NE of Kinshasa. The landscape consists of a mixture of savanna, tree savanna, and forest vegetation. (If you care to see some more, I have already posted a few pictures in this thread: http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61862)

I live in the city of Antwerp, drop me a PM if you are in the neighbourhood and want to link up.

Brulap - #2's wonderful!

I second that. Absolutely.

I didn't do much photography in 2008 but this is my most treasured.

As Jeanne Lay Dying - In The Manner Of Mantegna

clemens dans le metro

photo of a good guy I met while travelling in thailand, the shot is taken looking up at a CCTV monitor in a station on the bangkok MTA (subway)

[ElectroWNED]

nearing Charles Bridge, Prauge.
destroyed by random light leak, but I like how all the people you can see are looking towards the right. I don't even know what they were looking at...

2008 marked a low point in my photography. 2009 looks to be much more promising.

 

[mcgrattan]

Lawrence, that's a really tremendous shot.

The following one, from a brief visit to NY around election time and as the financial crisis was unfolding. (Summicron 28, HP5+, DDX).
