Every December I review the past year’s work, revisit twelve months of photographs and experiences, and share a set of my favorite images. I select a set that includes a variety of my photographs: The Sierra Nevada, Central Valley, and desert landscapes; seascapes; wildlife; a bit of night photography and some urban and street photography. Thanks for taking a moment to look at the photographs.
Enjoy!

Excellent variety of images, Dan. Very beautifully done. Cheers to 2016.
Thanks, Richard — and best wishes to you, too, for a great 2016!
A beautiful selection. I do like your ventures into cityscapes and street photography, but your eye for the details and your sensitivity for delicate colors and hues in nature and landscape has made me your fan, and remains what I enjoy most about your photography. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks, Alexander. I know the nature photography is the biggest draw, but I appreciate your comments about my street photography!
Have a great year.

Really beautiful selections, Dan! You’ve really showcased the beautiful and diverse environments of California — from wetlands, to mountains, to urban scenes. I think that “Spruce and Pine, Stained Cliff” stands out as my favorite from the group, with the river of aspens as a close second. All the best for 2016!
Thanks, Pat. Here’s to a great 2016 for you, too!

Superb work, Dan. Always impressed with your hugely strong and definitive personal vision. Cheers to a great 2016!
Thanks, Gary. I appreciate it! (And right back at you! ;-)

A lovely set of images. My favorites in order of preference are Basalt Columns, Dawn Flight, The Landing, Man in White, Island and Trees, and Steps in Concrete. The horizontal version of Island and Trees is one of my all time favorite images of yours. 2015 was very good to you. Best wishes for a wonderful 2016.
Thanks, Claudia. Thanks, too, for the feedback on the Island and Trees photograph — I still go back and forth between the two versions, and it is good to hear what others think, especially folks with your experience and vision. And thanks, too, for liking some of the non-nature photographs! Not everyone gets those!
Here’s to a great 2016, and hope that we’ll get out with you and Michael again soon!

Great stuff, Dan! I love “Fog, Water, Light” and “Island and Trees” especially. With your daily posts, it’s easy to take you for granted and be too lazy to leave comments, but I very much enjoy seeing your work every day. Thank you, and Happy New Year!
Thanks!
