Misc photos of 2016

 
2016

The danger of doing something too often is that it loses its charm – I shoot a lot and sometimes having a camera with me just feels like work, but I tried really hard to make time to shoot more recreationally in 2016.

Joining Instagram helped a lot in that regard – similarly to when I started this blog 6 years ago, having a platform to publish work is a great incentive to push yourself to shoot more.

Here are some personal/previously unpublished images from the last 12 months as well as some of my personal shots from Instagram.

I took over 8000 photos during a 11 day trip to Sweden – it took me ages to find the time to go through them all properly but they’ll be up in individual posts soon!

I had a really chilled new year’s eve with family and friends, the best surprise of the night was this CD my friend Mikhaila found and brought with – it was a new year’s mix I made for her 10 years ago! Needless to say it was filled with some winners…though to be honest my taste in music hasn’t really changed that much over the last decade.

My friend Mikhaila found this recently - I made it for her 10 years ago
