As an exercise in self-image review, I began compiling my Best of 2023 image list, as I do annually. While creating my image list, I noticed that this will make ten years: with the new 2023 list, I have been posting my idiosyncratic best lists from 2013 through 2023. You can click here to find links to the 2013-2023 lists.

Not that these are all my images, or even the “best” ones—they are merely the images that tickle my fancy at the time of compilation.

Looking at all ten years, I immediately thought I need to compile a “best-of-the-best” list. Click here for my “Best of the Decade” compilation, with about seven images per year.

For me, the thrill is always in creation, not retrospection. Looking backwards is a way to look forwards. The best is yet to come!
