Most blogs are going to start these type of post off with "2016 was a crazy year". This statement remains true on my end. 2016 was a rollercoaster! I battled with GAS, going from Sony to Fuji to Panasonic to selling off everything at the end of the year. I battled with financial problems, freelancing is hard and it isn't guaranteed and some months I really felt that. As much as it was negative, it was positive as well, even though I found myself broke at times, 2016 was the best I've ever done in terms of making money off my photography/blog. My blog also tripled in numbers when compared to last year. I was able to do a Q&A, I started a vlog (which we'll talk about later) and I even run a Facebook Group for the RAW Photo Challenge that has 500+ members... I would have never had the confidence to do any of those things last year.

Anyway, I told myself I didn't want to make my 2016 post an entire summary of my year, instead, I wanted to share my favorite photographs and elaborate with you why I favor them... So, without further ado.

These photos are in no particular order!
