As for shooting overexposed pictures on purpose, I personally credit every starting photographer who has ever picked up their Dad’s Nikon F2 and later wondered why after all that time in the dark room resulted in his or her photo paper still being all white; maybe except for, let’s say the dog that was sitting under a shady tree, in the picture.

I also learned to work light – in two ways. First, while I’ve always been a chaser of color and nice light, my goal for the short year was to exploit every opportunity I had to work the aforementioned. Last year, I found myself converting everything in post, not so much this year. And second, I learned to ditch the extra gear and work with the bare minimum.

The boardwalk is one of my favorite places to visit when I go to Ocean City, Md.

Since a lot of news is light in our coverage area, I feature hunt and shoot standalones usually multiple times a week, which makes me rely on what I think is one of my biggest strengths – my vivid, colorful and fresh perspective, which as Strazzante said better than I could, “images that rely more on composition and color than on a specific moment.” In addition, I’d also add light and subject to that list.
