My Photo Recap of 2020 where I share a few photo selections from each city I covered in 2020, along with some of my work that won awards throughout the year, and a quick recap of how my 2020 went.

As always, it’s not a favorite photo from each city (I save those), but some selections to share for now in bringing on 2021. All unstaged and unposed.

Cheers to a hopefully much better 2021!
