Great collection from 2019 Gary!
Pictures 02, 05 and 14 are my favorites, with Picture 02 being my top favorite!!
Cheers to a fantastic 2020, filled with new adventures, new inspiration and growth in your business.
Wow, what a great and diverse selection of images Gary! You certainly had a wonderful year. My favorite is #6, it reminds of a scene from Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. Best wishes to you and your family in the coming year.
Gary, another spectacular year and a great retrospective for 2019. Congrats on making a lot of great images. My favorite is the Fashionable Chinese Woman for non-artistic reasons….My favorite artistic image: Briones Regional Park.
Awesome collection of photos!
All images are stunningly beautiful but #5 is my favorite
I enjoyed watching all your picks but Picture #11 stands out to me. I am drawn to the tattoos and the “eyelid paint”.
Outstanding images Gary ! Chinese woman and the Setting sun at the coast are my favorites ! A very Happy New Year to you.
You certainly got around a lot this year. The Jin Mao Tower is extraordinary (Blade Runner-esque). The lenticulars over Owens Lake is overwhelmingly my favorite of the landscapes, it’s just a gorgeous image.
Stay well, Gary.
Wonderful array of images, Gary. The chinese woman photo was a great candid photo,
Beautiful set, Gary! Really love #3 from Point Reyes and that spectacular cloud in the Owens Valley. All the best to you in 2020!
Great collection of images Gary. I like the variety of subjects.
HAPPY New Year, Gary! Lovely mix of images here. Wishing you great light, and adventures in 2020!!
Gary, this is a great collection of images! I wish you and your family a wonderful 2020!
Another awesome set of images Gary! Well done!
Your images are all stunning! My favorite is #2, and I am also drawn to # 12 as the beauty and happiness I see from your subject is so fresh.
Beautiful work…thanks for sharing.

I’m sure 2019 will hold some particularly special memories from your China adventure. Great photos Gary. I also really enjoyed staring at the Moab and Pt. Reyes shots. Best wishes for a creative 2020!
I really enjoyed this eclectic set of images Gary! I’d probably pick #5 as my favourite. 🙂
I LOVE THESE! They are all fantastic! My favorites are #16, 12, 10, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. =)
This is another wonderful collection, Gary! You really captured the essence of China. Wishing you good light and good health in 2020!
I like the candid portraits and urban landscapes best, but your landscapes continue to stand out as well. Looks like you had a great year, Gary. Hope you have another exemplary one in 2020. 🙂
