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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Instead I have opted to share some of the ways I see and enjoy the world around me &#8211; 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&#8217;m not altogether sure what it says about me.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I hope you might enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Collections from previous years are available for <a href=\"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/scurry\/2019\/12\/31\/2019-in-photographs\/\">2019<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/scurry\/2020\/12\/27\/photographs-of-2020\/\">2020<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/scurry\/2021\/12\/30\/photos-of-2021\/\">2021<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/scurry\/2022\/12\/28\/photos-of-2022\/\">2022<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/scurry\/2023\/12\/30\/photos-of-2023\/\">2023.<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"Photos-of-2024 - 10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sc63\/54234942244\/in\/album-72177720322849172\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54234942244_2e044ff772_z.jpg\" alt=\"A pedestrian walks to the left towards a sign directing pedestrians to the right.
