2011 a year like all the others filled with steps forward and steps back, gain and loss. I have made new friends and lost some who are very dear to me. This year was another year I had to live to understand what I needed to move forward. All my mistakes lead to a wiser and more focused Peter.

I have traveled quite a bit including Big Bear, Detroit (life changing), Utah’s National Parks and finished it with a trip to Portland. This year I have also gained an appreciation for film which has now turned into an obsession.

My favorite image of 2011 is this image from the Grand Canyon:

“All my edges exposed“

I have hundreds of images from this year that will still make their way online over the next few months. I felt that out of all the images I have shared this year this image was the strongest yet.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for spreading my name and making my site more popular year over year.

These are going to be a selection of images chosen as my favorite image from each year I have “been a photographer”. I am going to select images from 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and…I am not quite ready for 2009.

2004:

This is the image that I believe started it all. Started the love and appreciation for “instant art” in just a few clicks. The image was captured sometime in 2004 while on a road trip with buddies of mine. A few clicks in iPhoto and I had this image. I took the image with a 3mp point and shoot Pentax. From this point on I had an obsession.
