Was thinking about not doing one this year, but then I saw all the other fantastic ones on here and they got me too excited. Plus I love doing these just as sort of a journal for me to look back on and remember what I got up to each year.

Saw a lot of incredibly epic places in 2021, and for a lot of those places I'll be choosing rather subtle shots for the usual reasons. Some had to be omitted entirely. Also, I got up to a lot of permission stuff this year which I had a great time with and will be looking to do a lot more of in the future. Some of these are also revisits of locations. Here we go:







































































































































And with that, I'm reminded why I do this every year. No way I would have imagined I managed to squeeze that much into what felt like such a short year! But looking back this year really was a full one. Moved to a new state, made a bunch of new friends, and managed to plow through a huge chunk of my USA bucket list. Hopefully 2022 can continue on the same track!

Happy new year and happy exploring y'all!

Glad you decided to put this together, this is my favorite of the YIR threads so far. I absolutely love the way you line up your shots, so much attention to lines, symmetry, filling the frame. Some really inspiring stuff here, thanks for sharing and happy new year!

Fucking masterful.

Was waiting for this one, killer set always!

Awesome, you take some good ass pictures. I see you spent some time up by me!

Best set so far!

Photographically and location-wise.

Really love all the closer more intimate shots of places, fantastic set

This is some of the best industrial stuff I've ever seen. Great year.

Honestly WOW! Love the lines, perspectives, and care for detail. Very Awesomely done indeed!

What a great collection of slappers. I love the wealth of spots you hit this year, but also your attention to framing and composition. Really enjoying watching your development as a photographer man. With all of the industry you shared here, it is funny that I think my favorite is the stadium seats; it is just so aesthetically pleasing. Great work, great year. Keep it up.
