It’s a new year (and a new decade) so it’s also a good time to reflect back on my photography from this past year.
For me, 2019 was marked by a much greater focus on film photography, including both much more use of my 4x5 camera, a little bit more shooting with the 6x17, and some time spent tinkering and refining my homemade 3:1 aspect ratio 35mm panoramic camera, all of which have been great fun.
Besides the film work, my summer was spent focusing intently on finishing the Bulger Peaks, which were mostly less photographicly productive trips, with two main exceptions: a ski ascent of Primus, and a solo trip to climb Logan, Katsuk, and Cosho.
Below are my 20 favorite photos from the year!
