It’s been a pretty good year for me. I graduated college, completed three internships and got a job. I also made a few good pictures along the way. Going through my archive recently, I compiled a gallery of the year in pictures that includes 75 photos. It’s a chronological gallery that shows what I’ve been up to this year. Figuring most people wouldn’t want to look at 75 photos, I edited down to my 15 favorites from this year. It’s been a fun year, but I’m very excited to get started in Wyoming in 2011.

Welcome to the WTE (head of IT and Web) !!! Got to say I love the Gunner Sgt shot and the coach shot. Well done.
Travel safe to Wyoming!

Very cool! That’s me in the 6th picture.
Too bad Holland didn’t win the match or I would have made your #1 of the year for sure 😉
Have a great new year!
