A Year In Photos with Colby Brown – 2010

It is that time of year again and it seems like 2010 flew by just as fast as 2009 did. Where oh where does the time go? As all of us are looking forward to the promise of a new year, I like to look back on my photography work and see not only how my work has evolved, but how I can learn from my mistakes so that I can become a better photographer in 2011.

2010 was a busy year for me with photographic trips all over the place. My wife and I started out the year exploring Guatemala and Honduras, then I was on to Yosemite National Park as well as a trip to Haiti. We explored various parts of Colorado before I headed back to California and Yosemite to teach a workshop. My year ended with a three week trip through Patagonia, which turned out to be one of my new favorite places on the planet.

As I start to plan out 2011 with trips all over the globe, I wanted to stop and take the time to thank all of you for your continued support and interest in my work. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my experiences and photography work. I leave you with a small collection of my favorite images that I captured durring 2010. Enjoy!
