11 Best of 2011

Every year, Jim Goldstein does this worldwide blog project where he invites other photographers to list their best images of the year.

I entered last year and I think it such a great idea that I have to do it again this year!

2011 marked a huge change for me. First I got a new camera, a Canon 5DmkII. And boy did that make a huge difference. And second I switched back to black and white photography.

SO here are my 11 best photos of 2011. And these are in no particular order.

  8. Very fine work and great use of luminosity and contrast. I am the son of Philip Hyde, who was a student and teaching associate of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. I can appreciate quality black and white photographs. I especially like #'s 4, 6, 8 and 9.
