These are my favorite photos from 2020.
I wonder if anyone puts much effort into looking at other people's best-of collections? I used to. In addition to the visual feast, I felt I could learn something, not only about photography but also about the person behind the photographs based on what they deemed their most worthy images of the year.
I still enjoy skimming through year-end collections as they pass in front of me, but I confess I don't search them out and study them as closely as I once did.
Regardless of what anyone else may get out of it, I do find this annual ritual personally beneficial. The opportunity to take a look back through a year's worth of one's own work and pull out the photographs that mean the most to me offers a degree of insight. Sort of like the way I used to try to get to "know" a photographer through their favorite images, there seems to be something to learn about myself by going through this process. That's enough reason for me to continue the tradition. I hope it's something I'm motivated to do for as long as I'm creating photos.
Cheers and best wishes for the year to come.
