Chuck, thanks for this great initiative. This is my favorite shot from this year. Not sure it is my 'best', but it is the image I keep going back to, and which never ceases to make me smile. The year started off pretty bad in Kenya due to the election crisis and violence that resulted in over 600,000 Kenyans being displaced. This is an image of three little girls taken at a camp for the internally displaced in Eldoret, western Kenya. The smiles and laughter of these children to me are a magnificent testament to hope in the face of adversity. All best, Spyros...Show more →

Captured this at my Uncle's wedding. I wasn't the official photographer so I only had my sony r-1 with me. Although probably not my best shot technically, it's my favourite.
Lot's of great shots so far but I REALLY like this one.
The year isn't over, maybe I will get a great shot.

I chose this as my favorite because it was totally a spontaneous shot. I was photographing a birthday party. This little girl was one of the many guests. When I walked past her with a camera and stopped to take a picture, she grabbed her mom's finger for security. Her mom was talking to someone else and didn't even know what was going on.
