The past year was insane at work. The first five months were filled with work on G-Force, 10-12 hours a day, six days a week. After G-Force, I took a two week vacation and then jumped right into working on Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I have been working 12 hour days, six days a week on Alice since September. All this work left me little time to shoot. I shot about half the amount that I did last year, and shot more spur of the moment type things rather than planning shoots.

I tried to shoot at least once a week, which led to me shooting more than ever before. This years Lightroom Catalog has close to 20,000 images in it ranging from landscapes to dance to fashion to artistic nudes. My gear got a significant upgrade this year as well. I upgraded from a 6MP D70 to a 12MP D300 and replaced my slow-focusing 80-200 2.8 lens with a sweet 80-200 2.8 AF-S.

I got it down to 10 photos with the help of my girlfriend and art director Kristin. I’ve also posted numbers 11-20 which didn’t make it to this list here.
