A year of photographs.
These are some of my personal favorite photographs from throughout the year. 2009 was a crazy year — it began on the vacant streets of East Baltimore, took me to the rubble-strewn desert of Eastern Afghanistan, and back again. This was the year Patrick Joust taught me how to develop black and white film in his midtown apartment bathroom.
This year, I learned what fear was on a West Baltimore corner. I learned it again, and again, and again with each subsequent mortar attack on the Kuh-E Charikar valley floor. A countless number of people from every walk of life have entered my life in one way or another, and I’m thankful each day for the influence and inspiration they give me each and every time I lift the camera to my eye.
Here’s looking forward to whatever comes next.
