The 2nd year of photography for me is over, and I’m actually already 2 months in to year 3. In addition the end of 2023 is fast approaching too, and I’ve spent some time looking back on the images I’ve captured.
Narrowing it down to 20 images was a monster of a task, taking over 6000+ photos captured between January 1st 2023 to December 3rd, weeding that down to roughly 1400 “keepers” (or as my mentor Jared Polin likes to say “the best of the best with honors sir”), and choosing only 20 from those 1400 was a tall order for sure. I spent 7 days in total making my choices, and when I finally decided I had “the ones”, I decided I was going to start sharing them 20 days before the end of the year. These may not be the 20 images others would’ve picked out, but this wasn’t a public choice event, these are My choices based off of My feelings toward them.
I’ve already started the “one a day” posting on my Instagram to count down the rest of the year, and I’ll be connecting a link to this Grim-blog each day too. So if you made your way here from IG, welcome and if you haven’t read some of my previous blog posts, I’d love it if you browsed through and looked at my work.
I’m going to keep this post short, and this will also be the last Grim-blog post for 2023. There’s going to be some big and little changes coming to the website and my photography journey in 2024, so keep an eye and ear open for announcements.
I hope each and every one of you have a happy holiday season, a wonderful rest of the year, and I’ll catch y’all later.
