Of those 122,043:

118,423 were for this website. Between Lincolnview athletics and photoshoots, my camera got plenty of use.

110, 902 were only of Lincolnview students.

Around 15,000 of those ended up on here.

That's 95,000 pictures you didn't see! Whether it was referee standing in front of my camera, a technical difficulty, or human error, there were definitely some pictures I wish had turned out. However, the difference between January's pictures and December's pictures is astronomical and I am proud of the growth in my abilities.

I did three photoshoots this year, traveled to five new states, and took pictures for two schools other than Lincolnview. I had a picture appear in the newspaper.

I'm beyond excited to see what new opportunities I get this year. Already, I have some pretty cool plans that are mind-blowing to even think about.

The biggest thing I'm taking away from 2017 is how thankful I am to the Van Wert community, especially the Lincolnview community. The students, parents, teachers, and coaches got behind this website. You purchased prints, season passes, or spread my website on social media. Thank you. This experience is better than I could have ever dreamed and it is all because of the people who supported this movement. This community is unrivaled. You allowed me to capture some of our most important moments.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm excited to share more of this journey on this blog through 2018. Thank you for you patience when I'm slow to edit and your kind words, this year has truly been the definition of life-changing.
