2019 in Pictures
With a month-long trip through Europe, I had an eventful year. I traversed it with my trusty iPhone 8, and here are a selection of my favorite shots, sometimes because of the content, sometimes the composition. If you’d like to see a larger collection (though this one may already be overlarge), enjoy!
