Best of 2012 - Part One

2012 was another great year.  Personally, my wife and I moved twice, traveled lots, and finally bought a new house.  We also lost both our old pets but brought in two new great ones to the family.  Professionally, my photography this year was quite diverse, covering everything from families and weddings to eclipses and light bulbs, and everything in between.

Before I dive into what promises to be a great 2013 (with more blogging at the top of the "to-do" list), I always look back at the previous year and choose my favorite images.  Since I really did a lot of weddings and families this past year, I'm going to do a separate best of for that, to come Monday.  Below are my favorite 10 images of 2012!

Riveted Bird - Beechcraft UC-45J Expeditor, at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tuscon, AZ
San Xavier del Bac Mission, Tuscon, AZ 
Narrows Majestic - The beginning of the Narrows in Zion National Park, UT.  One day I'm going back to hike up this...

Horseshoe Bend - Outside of Page, AZ.  I spent the early morning hours here waiting for sunrise, it was such a peaceful place.

Lower Antelope Canyon - Also outside Page, AZ.  This is the little brother of the much more popular Upper Antelope Canyon, and also much better.  Around every turn was a new angle or interesting formation.

Sangria Skies - The Sandia mountains earn their namesake with the Rio Grande in the foreground. 

Sneffels and Friends - The mountains outside Ridgeway, CO in late May.

The Photographer's Eclipse - I spent a few hours photographing the May solar eclipse, and got a great sequence that shows the progress of the eclipse, but this image was my favorite of the day, catching a few stragglers on the ridge a mile away still shooting.

Pop! - I had a blast creating this image and almost as much fun holding a contest to see who could guess how it was created (see past posts).  This also was juried into the 2012 ANMPA show.

Crescent Maine - Taken on our schooner cruise aboard the Stephen Taber, a highly recommended trip!  For a New Mexico boy, Maine offers a lot of different and new scenes to photograph.

Row - Again, aboard the Stephen Taber.  The boat "babe" returns to shore once more to retrieve supplies during dusk.
