2013 – I chose over a hundred images I shot in 2013 as favorites, and wanted to narrow that down to 25 for my annual ‘Best Of‘ post. This year, I thought instead of me making the choices, I would recruit my good buddy Paul Adotta to have at it. I told him there would be no discussion, no debate, and no questions. I asked not to rank them, just pick 25 that he thought should make the cut. Paul is an incredible artist, a trusted friend, professional photographer, works for Canon, and is a great inspiration to me, and photographers all over the world. Thank you Paul! So, here we go, in no particular order, The Top Twenty-Five.

Paul told me he could have came up with a different list each time he sat down to look at it. That’s exactly the reason I didn’t want to do it. My list seems to always change, and reflect how I feel at the time I’m putting it together! Congrats to Elton, and Maroon 5, for being on the list twice, and Thanks again Paul.
If you love photography & art, do yourself a favor, and check out my friend Paul.
