In what I hope to make an annual thing, I’d like to use this post to look back over 2017. The travels, what cameras/lenses I favored, and what my favorite images of the year are. Here we go, starting with the most

This is a post I’ve been wanting to work on for a long time. This will be a much more technical post than normal. Sometime I may write more about how I specifically use Keywords. But first, some background information on how
Paris is a great city. One of the first foreign cities I ever visited, and the first foreign city I ever visited without my parents present (1997). Paris is one of the few foreign cities I have been to multiple times (3
