In choosing photos for a portfolio, there's always a conflict between choosing one's own favorites and the works preferred by... everyone else. Friends, professional associates, critics and contest judges, print buyers and so on. This rotating collection includes a mix of my own favorites, some of my award-winning shots and a few favored by people whose judgment I respect. If you enjoy these there are more in the photography section of this web site.
