2020 Fav8

My best shots from an historically bad year.

Each year, I post my eight favorite shots from the previous year. And even in a year as strange as 2020, I still have some great shots. I started the year studying in coffee shops and ended it working from home and wearing a mask everywhere I go.

  1. Late evening studying in a Starbucks before the pandemic. I miss studying in coffee shops.

  2. Norah’s last Chapin JV Lacrosse game before the season was shut down. They won 19-0.

  3. Family selfie on a walk in the park behind our house. Back when we foolishly thought we’d be home for two or three weeks, max.

  4. We ordered masks for the whole family from our friend Sally.

  5. Met this little guy on walk.

  6. Kayaking at Hilton Head.

  7. The cats enjoyed having me work from home most of the year.

  8. We voted in the most important election of my life.
