2015 has been a big year for me as a photographer, probably the biggest year yet in my photography career. This year I finally became confident in my work as a photographer, which for any artist of any format, is always a huge step. I'm not going to bore you with some big long post, I'm just going to dive right into what you came here to see, my Top 15 photos of 2015.
I'll admit, this was a lot harder to make then I thought it was going to be, I started off with 33 photos I knew I wanted to be in this post. Going from 33 to 15 wasn't easy, but eventually I was able to narrow it down. The following 15 photos are in no order, it was hard enough just deciding these 15 to share.

I had the opportunity this year to photograph for Lynyrd Skynyrd when they played in Nashville, TN.

2015 was a great year of photographing, there were a lot of photos that could have been in this post, but I wanted to keep it at 15. I'm already looking forward to 2016 and what awaits, and who knows, maybe in 2016 I'll finally get a photo featured in Rolling Stone Magazine!
