Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I should even make a “Best Of” blog post for my photos this year. 2020 was a very weak year for photography. The majority of my photos come from experiences of being closely around others. Live music, for starters, ceased all together after March in Seattle. Taking close portraits, especially inside, for my friends or family was also not something I was willing to risk when the pandemic hit. Everyone had to adjust their lives accordingly, and my photography took a hit. I kept shootings for myself personally, but not enough.
That being said, there are a few photos I never got to share at all from the beginning of the year (pre-Covid) and from the rest of my year. Please enjoy some of those photos here (with a few favorites that you already have seen before as well):
Charly and Carla
Lacey, Kyle, Sienna, Finn
Dijon & Deaton Chris Anthony @ The Vera Project - February 14, 2020
The last live show I photographed in 2020. It was such a good one, and I’m so glad we went!
Metronomy @ KEXP - February 17, 2020
The last KEXP instudio I shot, and the last concert I attended (not photographed) later that night was for Metronomy. It was a fantastic last concert to have attended, but still makes me so sad to be missing live music.
What the Showbox looked like just a month later in March - no longer hosting concerts.
Favorite kitty cam shot with my housemate - Furiosa.
Max in the smoke-cast light from this Summer. It seems Seattle is always going to have a period where smoke infests our Summer skies now, due to wildfires in the area. It gives a really ominous red cast that is fascinating and truly scary.
Our indoor, DIY holiday card that was sent out virtually this year:
Some graphics for the SYNLUNA live streams I created this year. Artwork was created to mimic favorite themed soundtracks, soundtracks to Tron & Mandy, The Weeknd’s After Hours, and Charli XCX’s “Forever” single. Of course, Max and Furiosa had to be the stars for any artwork.
