Welcome to the New Age (Summa Photographica MMXIII)

There is no better way to express it than directly: 2013 was a fucking incredible year.

January kicks off with some light rooftopping.

An impromptu day of 70 degree weather is an unsurprising thing in an Ohio Valley winter. I made sure to take advantage of it by going someplace special.

My friend had a close scrape with death while I was taking this shot.

Cheers to Astro for the idea and setup of this photo.

It was at this time that work and my photo backlog bogged me down, and I didn't get out for the month of October. Fortunately, November held (mostly) good things: Like a camping trip to Gary with the Indy crew.

It's not much to look at, but I'm still taken aback that this experimental panoramic actually worked.

74

Believe it or not, this was a completely accidental shutter actuation.

Achievement unlocked: Take a UE photo that involves the words "developing fetus".

And a camping trip at everyone's favorite nuclear power plant.

This would be the last photo I'd take with my camera before it was confiscated by a TWRA officer later that day. As of this posting, I have yet to get it back.

Cheers to friends old and new. Cheers to a single year of memories that countless others will never even hope to experience in an entire lifetime. Cheers to heights higher and depths deeper than we ever think we'll know. And cheers to you, for sitting through my procession mockery of tasteful photography!
Here's to another year of risks and successes, my fellow adventurers. I hope 2014 brings all of you to new horizons.

Wow, just wow. What a fantastic year for you! I could only hope to explore a fraction of what you have done in a year. Nicely done.

It has indeed been a good year for you! It had to be for one of us, I suppose!! We'll done, you photos are stellar, as usual. I am glad I got to see you and although I doubt I will see you in the current year, I can't wait for when I do see you again.

You're exactly right. I can't believe I forgot! But I guess that's because I didn't take a relevant photo of him.

If all goes well, before spring. Here's to hoping.
