I’ve been in a photographic rut in 2021, and it shows in my work. Normally I find it challenging to choose just ten favorite photos at the end of the year; I have to cull the set down from 30 or even 40. Not this year: the ten were obvious, because so little of my work excited me. Here’s to breaking out of my rut in 2022!
