While I’m a bit late on this, here are my favorite images of 2023. It was an interesting year for my photography hobby. I branched out into some other work, bought my dream camera in a Leica M10, switched from Fujifilm X series to Nikon Zf and was able to enjoy many genres of photography in portraits, sports, landscapes, photowalks and family shots. I’m hoping to continue the trend in 2024.
My family and I just returned from a vacation to to the little island of Curaçao. It is just off the coast of South America and is a fantastic place to explore. From swimming with sea turtles, jumping off of cliffs into the ocean, hiking up a mountain and even some relaxing, there was a bit of everything to do.
Just some photos from a recent trip to Florida with the family. I packed a kit into my MindShift Backlight 18l backpack that consisted of a Fuji X-T5, Fuji X-E3, Fuji 150-600mm, Fuji 33mm f/1.4, Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and an adapter Canon 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6.
Even though I don’t shoot weddings, I ended up shooting a wedding this weekend. A close friend asked awhile ago and I of course obliged. The bride’s other friend worked with me as well, and thankfully, she is a pro with MUCH more experience than I and helped me all weekend. Watching her work and pose the couple taught me much more than any YouTube video could.
