My best photos of 2009

This is my entry for Jim Goldstein’s 3rd annual “Blog Project: Your Best Shots of 2009.”

Compared to my best photos of 2008, I photographed a few more large concerts and a couple weddings. I went on less photowalks because of school. Unfortunately, I’m very behind on processing. I took a basic film photography class in the fall, so this might not be comprehensive.

With that in mind, here are my 87 photos for 2009 (in chronological order). I hope you like them!

Cascades Waterfall

Taylor and Greg [finished] a sociology class at Mt. SAC. For extra credit, their professor had them view cultural diversity by driving all over Los Angeles County and taking their photo at eight locations.

They invited me to come along a couple months ago. I couldn’t say no. It gave me a chance to procrastinate with homework and studying for finals.

I kept my Amod 3080 GPS data logger on the whole time. Thanks to KML Path Distance, it calculated that we traveled 116.759 miles.

I’ll edit this post and link to the Flickr set when I choose, process and upload my favorites from this day.

For now, I hope you dig this planned shot of these two characters1 looking at the Cascades Waterfall. I find it quite humorous.

Sunset at Salton Sea

Thanks to Gerald for letting me borrow his Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM for a few shots, and to Mike for driving.
