Ever notice that quite a few publications will post their “best of 2008” before the year is even over? I am not so much of a fan of that as, in my opinion, reflection needs at least a little bit of distance. So now that 2008 has been over for a few days, I am doing a “favorite photos of 2008.” Here they are!
January
The owner of Floyds Diner stops for a moment to have a look around after the breakfast crowd moved on for the day.
February
Willows Beach near Estevan Village.
March
Commercial Drive in Vancouver, above the skytrain.
April
Sasha and John Digweed at Plush in Vancouver.
May
Some geese show up for Photogroffee in East Sooke Park.
June
Docking in Tsawwassen.
July
New friend made on Hornby Island. We email regularly.
August
Negotiations at the Victoria Electronic Music Festival in Centennial Square.
September
Sunrise on the Saanich Peninsula.
October
Sunrise from my balcony in downtown Victoria.
November
A bear fishing in a river near Ucluelet.
December
Some really hard to use controls on my sony ericsson phone – click for a big version.
Beautiful photos, Davin – wow!
A nice presentation of your favourites and some great shots (I vote for November). So much easier to look at that all the mosaics I see this time of year!
Rock. Great, great photos, Davin.
The May geese photo is incredible! I love it. This photo spread really shows the different variety in your photographs.
Happy New Year Davin!
Your work is fantastic. Where did you learn about composition?
@Yule: Thanks!
@Stewart: November is pretty intense eh? It was intense being there, so close to this bear.
@=): 😀
@Allie: That one I really like. The depth of shading and colour really sits just right there. Happy new year to you as well Allie!
@Naomi: Thank you. I have been studying composition since art class in Grade 8, soaking it up everywhere I see it – which is everywhere. Also my mom (http://www.nirmalagreenwell.com) has been an influence in some regards.
Just Awesome Shots, All of them !
