Goodbye 2007....


Well, it was quite a year...from a photography standpoint. I shot more pictures than I ever have, and came out with some of my best work yet. I hope to top it in 2008. I continue to learn and improve....with the camera AND with photoshop. Here are SOME of the people I photographed this year. Look close....you might find yourself!

Sorry to not post something for so long...let's hope this gets the ball rolling again.

Great stuff, Ry, congrats. Can't wait to see what 2008 brings you.

This mosaic is a great way to top off '07, and an excelellent teaser for the new year. Keep 'em coming, Ry.

seriously ry, this is great and i echo nic's sentiment (but, not vince's because he's like jeffrey lyons-he loves everything. how can you take him seriously? he's too nice about everything).

Vince M said...

Really?

I agree with Nic and John. I have no idea what Vince is talking about. Just kidding Vince. These are getting better all the time. Nice job making that skater guy look like he's catching way more air than he actually is.

This mosaic seems to lean predominantly towards the female persuasion. As an ugly member of the opposite gender I am greatly offended. You owe us monkeys an apology.

speaking for the female persuasion....I love it! : )

Hutch doesn't speak for THIS monkey, Ry. I'd rather look at pretty women than his ugly ass any day.

Keep your thumb on it.

Love that shot of Holli in row 6, extreme right. Obviously some of these are new and un-posted.

Fantastic photo blog, Ryan. I knew you were good, but dang! I'm really amazed how you've captured not just the faces, but the actual essence of the people I've been seeing on a daily basis.
