My favorite pictures this year were people pictures, which I don’t want to share publicly.
Apart from those, this is probably my favorite shot of the year:
There is something so calm and yet otherworldly about these ruins in Delphi. It took me a good long walk through the ruins to calm down from my usual hustle and start noticing the beauty of the place. This picture still hangs on my office wall, granting me refuge when life gets too busy.
Another favorite is this approaching airplane, whose story I told elsewhere.
I’ll post one more, of another calm walk, gradual relaxation, until conditions congealed into a photo.
I sense a theme there in my pictures. Too much hustle, too much stress in the last year. A new role at work, with unanticipated challenges. Next year, I’ll need to slow down more often, ground myself. Photography helps with that.
