How do you take an action packed and wildly diverse year and pick just the twenty best things from it? Well you drink copious amounts of sake and beer and just start taking notes of where the conversation goes. All the highlights from this year are listed in each countries Top-10 list (search for Top-10 […]
It is with great pride that I publish these photographs and I am quietly pleased with the years results. I’d love to hear from you which of the top 50 is your favourite (reply in the comments below or contact me directly). Again I’d like to thank Steve for his patience and assistance to capture […]
