2016 was a good year for me, photographically and generally.
On January 1, I retired from my position as a College administrator. This gives me more time for photography.
In March I traveled to Spain to photograph the Holy Week traditions in León. I also had the opportunity to eat lots of tapas, and blog about my experiences during my stay.
In the Fall, I had a photography show with a number of my works on display at the Yellow Moon Cafe, through the Anthill Gallery.
Below are some to the highlights from this year.
