Thankfulness is the theme for 2018. Thankful for family, good friends and good health … and photography! Each year, photography becomes more important in my life, as a way to express my appreciation for the beauty around me and to grow in creativity. And through photography, I meet so many people who become a part of this great community.
So, here’s a collection of my favourite images from 2018. When I look back through the 10 000 images from the year, I simply select my favourites. If they don’t meet the technical or artistic standards, they don’t make the cut. But of the many I’d love to share, the choice simply comes down to which ones I love the most. Originally, I thought I’d cut the list to 18 … but that didn’t work so here are 40 images from 2018 that gave me joy.
If you resonate with one or some of these, I’m more than pleased.
Thanks for having a look.

Absolutely Stunning Photos…keep them coming
Thanks so much, Irene! As you well know, I can’t help but keep them coming!
What a wonderful collection of images! What I really appreciate is the diversity of technique used to tell the story. The first of your images I saw, several years ago now, were those of forest, rich in colour and life. The ones above still inspire me, but you are doing some incredible things with those subjects that I think are new. As I always say, Dennis, you keep inspiring me and I am sure many others. Your enthusiasm, generosity and kindness shine through your photographs.
Chris, thank you for such kind and encouraging words. My love of the forest will always be there but, I’m glad to say, my interests have definitely taken me to different directions on this wonderful journey. And the journey is better when we can share it with others like you. Thanks so much.
Wow Dennis, these are all amazing. My favorites are the owl snuggling against the tree and the forest photo with the light coming through the trees. Oh wait, maybe it was……………. You are truly an inspiration and the reason I haven’t let my camera equipment gather dust. I want to keep shooting and keep learning. The best thing to me about photography is you take time to “smell the roses” so to speak. You appreciate the beauty of nature, people and life around you. Thanks for that gift.
Delighted to read your comment, Brenda. Using a camera to ‘smell the roses’ is such a great reason to continue in photography. Thank you for commenting, it means a lot.
Viewing your stunning images made my day! Absolutely impossible to just pick one as the very best of the lot. Thank you for sharing.
Ernie, I’m so pleased to hear that. Thank you very much.
Dennis your photos are wonderful! I think my favorite is Refuge on a summer night. The snowdrops and calla lillies are also in my top picks. The couple walking down the street in Barkerville brings a warm smile to my face.
Bottom line, they are all great!
Thanks for sharing
Bob
You’re so great for taking a look and sharing your thoughts. Thanks so much, Bob!
Beautiful beautiful images Dennis. Made me remember the awesome experience at Bella Coola and how you radically changed how I see and make images. ……Stunning……
Gerry, that is such a wonderful comment. I’m so glad that now, two years later, you see your workshop experience as a radical change. I feel privileged to be part of that. Thank you.
