Top 21 Photos of 2021

It brought a wide range of new experiences for me, although most of them didn’t involve travelling (thanks to a series of COVID-related lockdowns). For a change, I put my camera away for many of these experiences to be fully immersed in the present and I feel richer for that. The flip side is that my typically vast collection of fresh photos was much smaller this year. 

Nevertheless, I put together a bite-sized assortment of my favourite images. Some are outside the confines of my usual style, but that’s ok with me. As an artist, one must keep testing and experimenting.

I recently read this quote which sums it up…

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world."

- Neil Gaiman

Wishing you a year full of growth and joy.
