Becky and I are ending the year with a look back at some of our favorite photographs from our 2012 posts. Today we show my picks. I had a hard time choosing, not surprisingly, since many photographers struggle with objectivity regarding their own work. I took some pics out, put others in, took more out, put more in... fond memories from the places in the pictures influenced many of my favorites. Regrettably, my editor said I could only choose 10 images. Becky made her picks in a matter of minutes... which is why she is the blog editor! 

Tomorrow we'll post her selections.
