All my life I have had both a strong interest in photography and an interest to chronical my life, family, and travels, initially with photo albums and for the last 25 years with digital folders.
In 2024 I saved 11,489 images in 304 Folders (numbered 4128 to 4431), each folder titled with a date and description.
As the year progressed I composed 27 thematic folders drawn from the 11,489 images above of family, friends, and my travels.
In 2024 my travels involved an extended period at my Pattaya home in Thailand, some rare explorations of my home country the UK, notably concentrating on Wales, Wessex and London, summer and winter visits to the Swiss Alps and a road trip from our Vancouver home across the USA to Virginia and back via the South West.
From all these images I also duplicated 306 into a ‘Favourites’ folder and 241 into a ‘Panoramas’ folder which are the source for most of the images featured in this article.
I should clarify ‘Favourites’ does not mean I think they are outstanding images in themselves but images which are saved separately because they generate fond memories or because I think they are OK images and not without some merit for a hum dum wannabee photographer like myself.
What follows are my own favourite images from 2024, some because I think they are attractive images and others because they are personal favourites.
