Barcelona is color
As is my habit my favourite photographs from the year just past can now be found on an album on Flickr.
There are sixty-three in all, selected from a total of about 1800 which is quite a drop from my usual tally of around 2500. The dip in activity reflects my changed circumstances. Though I am now semi-retired, a release you might suppose to give me more time for photography, my caring responsibilities have restricted my opportunities. I am also travelling less, so a greater proportion of my shots are taken closer to home.
The selection is biased away from family life. My wife and children appear in only one or two of the photographs that I have picked out and even then only in silhouette. Those moments are not for public view.
Instead I have opted to share some of the ways I see and enjoy the world around me – the shapes and the colours in some of the more abstract compositions, and the moments and (imagined) stories snatched on the street. So the selection is still a personal one, though I’m not altogether sure what it says about me.
In any case, I hope you might enjoy.
Collections from previous years are available for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Very nice, Stephen. “Go your own way” and “Joie de vivre” in particular stand out to me – they have a certain classic street photography feel to them.
Happy New Year!
Thanks Richard – you have a good eye. And happy new year to you too!
