I hope you’ll enjoy this year-end collection featuring some of my favorite photographs made during 2021.

“I’m not sure you’d call it back on the horse again, but at least I’m back on the quarter-pony in front of the supermarket.” 🙂

While I certainly didn’t get to shoot as much as I’d like, still primarily due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it was certainly a better year photographically speaking than 2020. During the previous year, I did practically zero travel, even going so far as to take a step back from my photography altogether during the height of the pandemic. This year, I finally got to do at least a little bit of travel during the spring and fall. In October, my wife and I finally decided to jump on a plane and head to New England for the fall colors. It was a far cry from the four-week, 30th anniversary trip to Italy we had planned prior to the pandemic, but it proved to be a wonderful getaway, and a much-needed chance to again stretch my photographic legs.

So without much further delay, here are a few of my selected images from 2021. As with previous years, I’d be delighted to know which one(s) you like if you’d care to leave a comment in the comment section below.

If you enjoy my work, one of the greatest compliments you can give is sharing this post with your friends and family using those fun little Social Media share buttons located at the bottom of this post.
