For Christmas Heather got me a binder filled with pages for organizing and archiving negatives. So, yesterday, in an uncharacteristic show of enthusiasm for slow, tedious tasks, I put all my negatives into this binder, segment by segment. When I got that done, I decided to put all the corresponding prints into an album we had been given for our wedding but never used. Flipping through my pictures got me excited again about photography. I find it easy to get discouraged – I’m not an experienced photographer and I tend to be highly critical of any creative output I might venture to produce. However, looking through these pictures got me energized about taking photographs. I had been meaning to put together an album on my photo gallery of all my favorite SLR shots, but I got bogged down at some point and gave up. Fortunately, with all the prints in an album, I found the task of picking favorites much easier than trying to do so looking through pictures online. So, I present to you, my favorites. I have this gallery broken up into 4 sub-galleries: people, places, things, and events. I hope you enjoy them.
Below is one of my absolute favorites, from the Ringling Bros. Circus visit to Boston in October, 2006:
