Every year, I try to choose my favourite images.
The process is rather arbitrary, and is heavily influenced by emotional considerations. Weeks later, I often look at my choices and second guess them.

Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You, enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue…

When I look at my film shots, they are technically inferior to my digital ones. And most people who view my images always compliment the digital ones over the film ones.

They somehow contain more truth.
