A collection of some of my favorite images captured in 2018. I was very fortunate this year to be able to make quite a few trips to different locations that enabled me to witness these beautiful sights for myself. All of the images below were captured on a large format camera using 4×5 film from Fuji, Kodak or Ilford.
