Greetings. This month’s photo essay is a year-ender.
The collection features a dozen pictures to represent just one snapshot from each month of 2016. There’s no consistent theme to their selection other than they are images that speak to me in one way or another out of the hundreds taken this year.
Many of the shots are of people in motion, marching in a parade, dancing onstage (and off) or, in one case, at a pow wow.
This post’s main image captures women belly dancing with swords.
There’s also a beauty queen and a woman holding an enormous bottle of beer.
Singer/ songwriter Kierston White is shown singing tenderly in dramatic low lighting.
Elsewhere, a bearded young man miraculously pulls off wearing a color-coordinated mid-last century fur pillbox hat and mink stole.
Indeed, 2016 was a rich year for pictures. Here’s to a great 2017 as well.
