Eyeing Up The Year

It's always electrifying to 'eye' up the new year.

While a clean slate isn't the best wording, it's more of a fresh breath, a new season. It's cliche, but it's always nice to look back your work the year before on the first of the year.

Those images are a reminder of what went well and what didn't. More importantly, it's also a visual record of what pushed, challenged you as a photographer and how that helped shape your craft and yourself personally.

Away from the rectangles, the year of 2016 was scary, sad and ugly at times. Yet also amazing, memorable and exciting all in the same breath. I'm humbled for the continual stream of opportunities presented by my employer of Getty Images.

As I echo ever year, I'm excited and looking forward to another full-year of health, happiness and shooting in 2017 - and wish each and everyone of you the same.
