2009 Top Ten

It's been a crazy, amazing year. I lived in Thailand, traveled to Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia (for five hours!), England, Belgium, Italy, and the Czech Republic.

I learned how to speak Thai (some).

I learned how to eat spicy food (just keep at it).

I learned how to withstand a 16 hour bus ride, not to mind middle of the night layovers, unexpected delays, and trying to figure out just what is going on when the announcement is made in a language you don't understand about why there is no forward movement at the moment.

I adopted a cat, and brought her back from Thailand to San Francisco. (Right now, she's sleeping under the covers at my feet. I think it's safe to say she might not have adjusted for the temperature difference yet.)

I helped to destroy a kitchen.

And mostly, I fell further in love with photography. Enough so that I will definitely be keeping this blog going into 2010, and I have some thoughts and ideas for expanding the content.

But I won't bore you with that. Here are my top ten favorite images from this blog in 2009. (At least, top ten for the moment. It was tough. If I had to choose again, who knows.)

Agree? Disagree? Let me know. And if you have your own favorite images post, feel free to link to it in the comments.

Bubbles

I love them. After everyone else has gotten tired of bubbles, I'm usually off in a corner blowing some more.

Or in this case, making someone blow bubble after bubble just so I can get a cool picture.
