i should say i’m lucky to be doing what i do and it’s all smiles and fun and happiness, but you know what? i photographed 167 paid jobs this year. i worked very hard and still have one more wedding to go. i love my job and every single wedding i’ve photographed, but this is anything but easy work. these are a few of my favorites. you make your own luck and i can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2013.
george clooney AND a cheetah? woahhhh
chuck in a casual portrait of george clooney, why not. like your style bud.
flipping killer work mate.
Absolutely wonderful.
I love the one of the couple running around the corner. Also, mad kitty ftw.
And the red bikes riding by is amazing.
Oh-and the juxtaposition of the headdress and the hearing aid. That one kills me.
Holy expletive expletive expletive. Wow.
Epic indeed. Wicked stuff.
There aren’t words for how incredible this post is. Here’s to 2013!
Quite the remarkable year my friend.
I didn’t even want to click this link because I KNEW it would make want to quit photography. You had an amazing year because you have an amazing gift. All of these are fun and engaging in the best possible way. I think the little girl spinning is my favorite, but it’s tough to beat the dinosaur silhouette. Fine work, Sam.
My thoughts, if you will..
“wow, amazing, amazing, Clooney, amazing, amazing, Phelps, amazing, amazing, Washington, amazing, amazing .. ”
and so on ..
You have quite the gift bro’
