We received a very nice surprise in the mail just before the new year – large format photographer Charles Cramer (who in another millennium played organ at our wedding!) sent a copy of his wonderful 2008 calendar. Among my favorites are “Dogwood, Morning Fog, Smoky Mountains,” some Yosemite photographs, and “Lilypads, Algonquin Provincial Park, Canada.” (The latter images do not seem to be available at his web site.)
Thanks, Charlie!

I wasn’t there this past weekend for the big surf championship. I was nearby on a beautiful section of the coast a bit further south. I saw really big waves. I saw surfers. But I didn’t see Mavericks. (My photos are scheduled show up here in early February, though you can see a preview at my Flickr and Photo.net galleries now.) Jim Goldstein did photograph Mavericks, from all evidence from very close to the action, and he has posted a first set of images.
Jim M Goldstein has compiled a list of the “best of the year” images from a bunch of photographers who read his blog. I think it is interesting to see how photographers regard their own work, and these individual “best of” lists are a great resource… and a lot of fun to look at. Kudos to Jim for putting this list together and sharing it!

This photograph comes from a night photography shoot with The Nocturnes, a SF Bay Area night photographers’ group. It is another image that I had passed over originally and which I rediscovered during my end-of-year search through the 2007 photograph archives.
