EDITOR'S CHOICE

- 04

"You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully, your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are."

A collection of brett's favorite moments...

but maybe a wolf can

surreal and serendipitous, this photograph brings such joy and tranquility. we had an incredibly short period to capture it and yet its just a photograph.

the outskirts

"but i was going to tosche station to pick up power converters." a unique take on the frame within a frame technique.

forever a memory

capping a day in ireland, the rays of golden sunshine cut through the scenery blessing us with a beautiful ending to a lovely day.

good boy

this dog came running up to us as we pulled off to admire this waterfall in iceland. the lighting on the day wasn't great, but this dog makes the whole picture.

just over the walls

another impression of this luscious garden. perhaps it's the shadow on the gate that absolutely draws me in.

on an icy lake

ice fishers flocked to this frozen lake. rather remarkable experience to walk out to the middle of a lake hearing slight cracks each step you take.

here at ed's

after a weekend of filming, i captured this to commemorate the time.

empathy

there was something human about the way this dog's eyes were able to seemingly communicate emotion.

a gentle fall

nothing special here and i cant put a finger on why i like this photo. perhaps it's the colors or perhaps it's the shadows.

north bend

had to pull over, run back, and wait for the right moment to get this image. and even with all that, the light is doing most of the work.

i close my eyes and there you are

i don't normally do portrait photography, but do love the subtleties of this photo.

our town

a still life on a larger scale. finding subjects that interest you come in all sorts of unexpected places.

grateful

what a perfect day for some of the people i care about most. was so happy for them that day.

fairytale

on the Cé Dhún Chaoin, this couple extends a level of grandeur to the scale and fantasy of the landscape.

friends

just a candid of friends after a normal night going out.

happyness

This part of my life, this part right here? This is called 'happiness'.

bicycle by the beach

this is a smell the roses photograph. the bicycle at rest also faintly speaking to slowing down and taking a moment to explore and enjoy your surroundings.

the coast of sodor

in a continuation of a few images entertaining the look and feel of a model train set, this coastline does indeed bear an artificiality as though the waves and structures were mere miniature.

an ode to a lazy river

a father and his kids. siblings on vacation. a nap on a river. these days it is the small moments that truly count.

its like a dove in the morning

everyone hates getting up early, but when do we actually regret it. the fresh air, the sunrise, the sense of productivity. some of our favorite memories are getting up early to do something or because we're somewhere. so why is it so hard?
