My Year ... In Photos

It's said a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe that is why I enjoy taking, and being in, them so much. Everyone who knows me says I love pictures, and it's true. A picture is part of a memory, and who doesn't love making and holding on to new memories? I certainly do.

Over the course of this year, I have taken over 600 photos. That number doesn't include the many that were deleted along the way. For this 'end of the year' post, I carefully thought about which photos I wanted to include, and why. Each picture tells a story, each one is it's own special memory for me to hold on to.

It truly has been an eventful year. For as many amazing moments I experienced, my life has been well-balanced with just as many difficult ones. I almost wish I had written about everything that impacted my life along the course of the year, however time simply didn't allow me to compose posts the way I would have liked to. Interestingly enough, I don't have many, if any, photos that speak for the lows, but as with anything, a photo of a certain place or friend can bring back a memory that I would just as well choose to forget.

For as many pictures as I selected for each collage, there were many I didn't choose, and there was no rhyme or reason to the ones that didn't 'make the cut.'

The collages have their own themes and if you know me well enough, the theme can be identified. If it can't be, give it your own clever title.

2012, and all the experiences that came with it, is a year I won't soon forget. I will fondly look back at my posts, as well as these photos, and know what each one means, or meant, to me.
