2011 was a great year for our Photography business – but there were highs and lows. There were many FIRSTS for us over the past year. In 2011, for the first time...

we published a full year's worth of eBooks. we visited Iceland, where... Varina got hit by multiple icebergs. Ouch. we destroyed 2 cameras and 2 lenses in a matter of 20 minutes. Ouch again. we are parents of THREE teenagers. Triple ouch. we closed a business... and started a new one in the same month. (We closed the doors on Visual Wilderness, and started selling our ebooks on our own websites.) we were unable to get a permit to run a workshop in a National Park. we did not visit Death Valley. (We've been to Death Valley at least once a year, every year since 2005.) we joined Google+, and gained thousands of friends and followers almost overnight.

So, there you go. It’s been a crazy year…but it was great fun. Here are some of our images from 2011: We are looking forward to 2012, and have an ambitious schedule laid out before us. We hope you’ll come along for the ride!
