I've selected my favorite images that I've posted over the past year on Instagram and created a short slideshow from them. I enjoy reflecting on the past year and always try to see the relationship between events in my life. I would strongly encourage you to create a collection of your own images for the year—I have found both the process and the results to be very insightful.
Last year I created a short slideshow (Moments Alone), from images taken over the year using my mobile phone. I found it to be a enjoyable way to look back at the year and reflect upon the places that I’ve gone, the people I’ve met and the things that I paid attention to. So, I decided to do it again this year and here is the result “Fractured Moments”. I would strongly encourage you to create a collection of your own images for the year -I have found both the process and the results to be very insightful.
Last year I created a short slideshow (The Red Thread), of the images that I took with my mobile phone. I found it to be a enjoyable way to look back at the year and reflect upon the places that I’ve gone, the people I’ve met and the things that I was paying attention to. So, I decided to do it again this year and here it is — Moments Alone. I’m sure that the images will mean more to me than they do to you, but I would encourage you to create a collection of your own images and look at them as a complete body of work for the year.
I decided to organize the images that I shot and processed using my camera phone and Instagram in the past 6 months.

(Perhaps if you attended Photoshop World in the spring, you might remember some of the early images that I showed on the Art of Digital Photography panel.) I hope you enjoy the video.
