Best of 2022

Hi y'all

The 2022 has been a roller coaster year for me & my family, so many events happened but we are getting back to a kind of "new normal" . This year I did not go on many trips like planned, in stead I am taking less pictures but meaningful ones, it's also a year of inflection on my photogrpahy styles; if anything, I learned never take your health, loved ones for granted; I am so grateful for my photographer friends, students who gave me support in this trying time. Let me say a big "THANK YOU".

Here are some my personal favorites to share with everyone at Focal World, thanks to Jim, Ben, Doug, Mike, Jameel,Alan, Michael & all other staff,.... you guys are wonderful.

I wish you & your family peace, health & joy.

8) Dancing Willows

The Spring weather has been very kind to me this year, driving two hours to get this shot was well worth it.

Such a great set of images Oliver. Number 6 was my favourite. I'm very new to astrophotography and can appreciate the skill and patience that went into that shot.
