My #YearInReview blog posts don’t necessarily feature my “best” photographs. Rather they feature photographs that help me track and tell the story of the year, month by month.

I also like to make a PowerPoint of the photographs that went to juried art exhibits a given year. I call it “Invited _(year_” because that’s the language artshows use: You work is “invited” into a show.

Does that make these my “best” photos? Well, not necessarily. It just makes them photos that drew the eye of an art-world juror–a person who selects artworks for exhibits as a profession.

Interestingly, none of the photos I used in #YearInReview actually show up again in this slideshow. So I hope you’ll give it a few minutes of your time. And be sure to let me know: How does your “beholder eye” match up with those of the artworld jurors?

Note: Sorry, I can’t make this embedded video go full screen, even though the control bar indicates that it should go full screen. It’s probably my ineptitude with “advanced” technology. (Insert chagrinned emoji here.)
