Tired of the “Best of 2009 …” lists yet? If not – here are 10 (non-rodeo) images from 2009 (if you’re looking for the rodeo-centric list – look here).
As a photographer – I think this idea of culling the annual portfolio to 10 solid images – from roughly 10,000 to 20,000 frames shot over the entire year – is a good exercise. It forces trade-offs and discussion (at least among yourself) to why any one image made the list over another.
And – if you’ve been a regular reader of Camera 47 for the past year – you’ve likely seen a number of these images. Sorry ‘bout that. But in the end – here are the 10 images I chose (in no particular order).
Washington vs. Oregon State rugby match.
Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport, OR.
Downtown Corvallis with the Lensbaby fisheye lens.
Portland International Auto Show.
Several are gorgeous but the Noodle Cart struck me. I hope I have my camera on me the next time I “see” a perfect moment like that. So common yet so lovely.
