Favorite images. What makes them a favorite. Why do they stand out {to me} {to you}. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly why an image speaks a little stronger than the others. For the most part, I have images that I love from the moment they appear in my camera, then later on in my computer screen. I instantly connect with something about them.

In any favorite photograph it might be a quiet about it, a sweetness, maybe the light, the colors, the feeling. The people always draw me in as well, their stories, their connections and passions. Or it could be the wind, the movement, the joy, swollen anticipation or emotions... but it's always about some breathtakingly beautiful... stolen moment. Frozen in time. I have favorites from 2011. Here are some.
