This is my third year in a row doing one of these "best of year" posts (see also: 2012 and 2013).

The collection is a mishmash hodgepodge of photographs that have nothing in common except that they fall within the arbitrary confines of a calendar developed over 400 years ago. The photographs really don't look all that good as a collection, and I have become less of a fan of these "greatest hits" arrangements and prefer to present photographs that compliment each other or tell some larger collective story.

Still, the inertia of tradition is strong, so who am I to argue?

For your sake, I have decided to show some editorial restraint and limit the selection to ten photographs, or about five percent of the photographs I have taken and processed this year. They are arranged in chronological order.

Note for RSS readers: These photographs will look better in a web browser.
