It’s New Year’s Eve, the very last day—the very last few hours—of 2025. Very, very soon it will be 2026. For the last article of the year, I thought I’d simply share some of my favorite photographs of 2025, choosing three from each month. Some months were more prolific than others—for a few, it was difficult to narrow it down to just three; for other months, it was challenging to find three that I could classify as a favorite. There were certain days where I made more good photographs than I did over the course of several months. That’s just the way it goes.
I hope you all had a very merry holiday season. I wish you much luck and success in 2026! Now, to the photographs….
