    You made a very fine selection!
    I love Debra … she is my clear winner ;)

    Here at home we selected another 12 pics for our 2019 photo calendar. This time its from our trip across Ireland.

      I’ve thought about making a photo calendar as well. Maybe next year!

    What a great idea, not sure I could make a list of ten from this year. I might try though. Instagram choose my top 9, but that is an algorithm not my choice. I like your choices though.

      I find it challenging to choose just 10 every year! That doesn’t mean I’ve taken that many fine-art photos for the ages, but that so many of my photos please an audience of one: me.

    Wow …. hard to choose !! They are all really good. I guess I would choose the Wheeler Mission. Keep the photos coming …. we enjoy so many things that you see through your camera lens !!

      I have no intention to stop making photographs! Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, I’ll have another top-ten post this time next year.

      Isn’t she just regal?

        She is and you captured her essence beautifully.

    I particularly like Under the Clock. Casual Man beneath the overwhelming dominance of measured and named Time. The double meaning of the overhead signage – there is the Obvious, but there is also You, the student. The Casual Man chooses Activities over Conferences – which says a lot about Conferences…. And Entertainment is off to the side, disregarded in this rare moment!

      Under the Clock might be my favorite too. You see a lot more in it than I did at first look!

    What a great idea! As a long time follower of your blog, it has been exciting watching your evolution from a guy writing about old cameras and abandoned roads, to an accomplished photographer.

      What a lovely thing to say! I feel myself getting better as a photographer and that’s great fun.

    Great photos! Love the ballroom in particular. I think the monochrome version caught my attention.

      Isn’t that ballroom grand? The whole building is stunning.

    I like 1996 the most, it has the perfect mood, the black and white rendition helps lot.
