Best Catavino Photos of 2008 – Which is your favorite?

Submitted by Ryan on Saturday, 3 January 20098 Comments |

I both love and hate Flickr. Some of the censorship issues have wavered my confidence in staying with them, while at the same time, the desire to upload my favorite pictures, and photos, gives me a great vision of the past year. After glancing through my photos from 2008, it seemed ludicrous not to share some of them with you. However, there are 219 in total, even after I went through the set with a fine tooth comb. I hope you enjoy the slideshow, as they’re a great reminder of all the fond memories we have from last year!

Cheers, and here’s to even better pics in 2009!

Wow, these are great. What kind of camera do you use? Are there edits used after in photoshop, or do you just depend on the natural light given to you in these shots? You have a right to be proud, they are very professional.

“One day up on the Coast” is my favorite in the series.

Canon450…All natural though I do shoot RAW, and convert in Lightroom, so I can “develop” the photos fully. THanks for the comments

LOVE these photo's Ryan… make me very envious of your skills against my own very poor efforts, by comparison, earlier. The black and white ones are especially evocative. Stunning!
