In early August I captured some interesting geometric abstracts mostly from at MacEwan University:

and in an abstract vein, using Intentional Camera Movement:

And a few more nature-y images from late summer:

2018 – My Favorite Photos

Here is a collection of my favorite photos from each month in 2018. I didn’t start out looking to adhere to any particular theme but as it turns out, all of these are images of the natural environment and they were all taken close to my home, in Edmonton’s river valley.

September:DSC_9331-1

October:DSC_9675-1

November:DSC_9982

December:DSC_0059-1

So there you go, my “favorite” photos taken in Edmonton during each month of 2018. For some months it was hard picking a favorite, so, especially towards the end, I would default to the image that was most consistent with the developing “nature” theme. I am tempted to assemble another collection focusing on my black and white, or abstract photos from 2018 – stay tuned.
