Halfway Anywhere

By 6 Comments

I always worry about not having enough photos to fill a post with my favorites from the previous year, but it turns out that a year is a pretty long time (despite the feeling that our revolutions around the sun are speeding up).

If you’re interested, here are the looks back at the previous years: 2017, 2016, 2015

This year’s photos are from New Zealand, Nepal, Japan, California, England, France, and Portugal.

If you’re feeling nice, do me a favor and leave a comment below to let me know which photos you like, which photos are just okay, and which photos you think are trash (you won’t hurt my feelings, I promise; I have no feelings). I just want to know where to invest my picture-making time in 2019.

Love,
Mac
