Favorites of 2013


This year has been a great one, I traveled to three different countries, was senior photo editor at my school's newspaper and attended the Eddie Adams Workshop with some incredible people. Below are my favorite 20 shots from this year.


I added an extra photo because it is my favorite photo of an incredible man, friend, and mentor, John H. White, while he was speaking at the Eddie Adams Workshop. I was in his class in fall 2012 and as he would say, he helped spread my wings to start off 2013 in a great way.
