Noah's Eyelashes

Posted on December 31, 2008 to Awards, Favorites, Portrait

For the final post of the year, I wanted to do something special. So here it is, probably the best picture I took all year. Forget landscapes, waterfalls, and leaves... this is 3-year-old nephew Noah, who we got to spend a lot of fun time with over Thanksgiving break. I think his first memory of Uncle Mike will be of a guy who never came out from behind his camera. I think the risk of that was worth it, just to be able to catch this moment while he was playing with his cars.

Looking back through the archives, it has really been a great year for my photography. The trip to Iceland really re-invigorated my photography. My camera registered almost 5000 exposures this year. I feel like I've come a long way artistically. Let's see what 2009 brings...

This picture was awarded honorable mention in the People category, in the 2009 Champaign County Camera Club print competition.
