Another year in the books! It’s time for my annual post where I share some favorites from the last 12 months and look back on what the year was like. While it didn’t hold the level of adventure that 2022 did (it’s hard to top a road trip to Alaska!), I still got out for some backpacking trips in the mountains and time spent in the desert and prairie. Spring this year was wet and incredibly green on the Great Plains, which made for excellent photography before the mountains melted out. Once the passes were snow free, the summer brought on backpacking trips in both Colorado and Montana, with the highlight being a 5 day loop in Glacier National Park.
I also want to take this chance to sincerely thank everyone for their support over the last year, as well as the previous decade. It warms my heart to see you enjoying my prints on your walls, and finding inspiration from my ebooks and images. I really couldn’t do this without your help, and I never take that for granted. And let’s not forget those photographers who use my drum scanning service, it’s been a pleasure working on scanning projects with all of you!
What does the next year have in store? You can bet it’s more of the same. I continue to find inspiration on the open prairie, and already have locations picked out for future trips. And when it comes to mountain backpacking, I’m going to take a lesson from this year and keep the schedule more open so I can be flexible when it comes to wildfires and snowpack conditions. Without any further words, here is a selection of my personal favorites from 2023. Which one do you enjoy the most? What would you like to see more of in the future? Leave a comment and get the conversation started!
Thank you for reading, and thanks again for all of your continued support. I wish you all the best for 2024!
