2024 Year In Review
Connor and Brennan
Connor and Brennan emerge from a cave at Lost River Gorge, NH
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve done a “best of” the year post. And its been over a month since I’ve done a post on this blog! So I guess it is time to get back to posting and promoting images. And what better way to do so than with a roundup of images from 2024.
I’ll start with the image above: my two oldest grandsons, Connor (front) and Brennan (not front) emerging from a cave at Lost River Gorge in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It was taken during our annual family vacation to the region. This image is one of my absolute favorites from the year. It really captures their personalities.
Mom
Dorothy Lussier
This image of my mother was taken on a September afternoon at my house. My older sister and I brought her over to go through the mountain of old family photographs and walk down memory lane. I was happy that the day yielded a new keepsake photo.
Grand Teton National Park
Wagon Wheel
The BIG TRIP this year was a return to Grand Teton National Park with a subset of the NXNW crew: Michael Criswell and Rick Louis. We went to the Tetons with the main goal of photographing wildlife, and we were moderately successful — the bear, moose, elk and bison cooperated, but the owl was allusive. We didn’t limit ourselves to wildlife — the landscape called. The above is my personal favorite. Below is a roundup of other highlights.
Bison
Mt. Moran
Moose
John Molton Homestead
Farms and Barns
A Farm in Kansas
It has become something of an obsession, this Americana thing. I blame in part my friend Steven Perlmutter and thank him for spearheading a couple of excursions into Vermont this year (and last) to find and photograph the rural landscape. The above image was not taken in Vermont, it is from Kansas. I captured it during a family trip to the area for a wedding in October. Below are a few from Vermont.

Hay Bales
Jules
Three Faces
Finally, one (or three) more personal, sentimental favorite. Our youngest grandson Jules paid a visit over Thanksgiving and was more than happy to ham it up for me and my iPhone.
Thanks for stopping by!
