Top 25 of 2011

As 2011 winds down I took a look back at the photos I took during the year.  There were weddings, a trip to eastern Europe, concerts, trips to Chicago and St. Louis, and a full year in Champaign.  All these things led me to a whole new set of experiences that I really enjoyed.  Not getting to work for the DI was a bummer, but I was able to find other experiences that I will never forget and was able to focus more on school and make photography fit around my school work.  So here's to 2011, enjoy the photos!
