One consequence of not leaving central Virginia for most of the year is that I have had to get a little creative about my photography, looking for every possible way to capture an interesting image in a small city that is only so interesting. It’s been difficult! And there have definitely been times where I just didn’t take photos for weeks at a time. But now, at the end of the year, I’m pleased to say I have a few, halfway decent photographs under my belt. A few of these photos are from outside Virginia, but most were taken in the state, and specifically in and around Charlottesville. Let me know what you think.
