A Photo A City in 2019 (on the Major City Project)

Time for the New Year’s tradition here and share a few photos from the old year to bring in the new

While the past few years, especially 2017 and 2018, were non-stop on the road finishing up my Major City work, I had to focus on a variety of other work this year and didn’t move around as much. That was a good thing. Still, I managed to fit in a few last major cities, bringing that project’s 5 year total to 105 across 75 countries, while also completing some smaller projects. My 2019 brought me to 14 cities, including some extensive work in Odessa, Ukraine, which will hopefully be published by the end of 2020. I’ll be heavily focused on publishing a few pieces from all the work I’ve completed, including a couple of smaller zines, which I’m really excited about. After 5 years of obsessive non-stop work and over 30,000 km walked, I’m beyond ready to start putting this all together and published.

The new year will also bring more focus and changes to the blog, as I had to pull back time from it a bit this year due to work and some changes in vision for it. I’ll be starting a Patreon subscription too where I’ll be creating a variety of video content, lessons, mentorship and more. 

I’m holding back most of my favorite photos from the year to prepare for editing on future publications, as I want them to be at least a third never seen work, but with another busy year of photography in the books, I have enough to share now too. So, here’s a couple photos from all 14 cities I worked in 2019. It’s not a favorite photo from each city, but some selections to share for now in bringing on 2020. And as always, all unstaged and unposed.

Happy New Year to all and Cheers to 2020!

    You got so many great shots. I love the Shibuya crossing pic – a new take on a place shot billions of times. I also like the last Cuba photo for the same reason. Congrats on finally getting to 100, and safe travels in 2020.
