Continuing the retrospective look at my last decade of travel and landscape photography, 2006 - 2015. Here are some of my favorites from 2010.
Part-way into the year I found a publisher for the California landscape photography site guide I had started, and scope expanded to include all of Southern California from Mono Lake and Yosemite south! In 2015 it became available as "
Photographing California Vol. 2 - South". Stay tuned for more guides in the near future!

Not being much of a fan of limits or rules, I'll show a couple of my favorite international travel photos, and also offer my favorite photos from family expeditions, including the growing photography interests of Nicole and Thomas Sullivan:
 |
| Thomas on a Death Valley Dune Hike |
 |
| Nicole was filmed for the movie Timescapes (seen here in Big Meadow near Bridgeport, Mono County) |
 |
| Thomas with his first digital camera, 2010 |
I won a couple of Samsung digital cameras in monthly
+Samsung USA (SOAphoto.com) contests in 2010, and those cameras helped my kids get into photography.
Thomas now has one of his Milky Way photos on the cover of a book of winners in the annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year contest, an international contest conducted by the Royal Observatory, Greenwich (home of Greenwich Mean Time: GMT).

| Nicole with her first digital camera, 2010 |
One of Nicole's night images won 2nd place in the annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year contest, an international contest conducted by the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The Royal Observatory hired a film crew from Los Angeles to interview Nicole for 7 hours to produce this profile video: https://vimeo.com/28740663
Nicole later entered a photo in the California State Fair, entirely on her own initiative and effort from concept through execution and submission, and she won top honors in the Under-18 category.
Nicole currently has a part-time job as a photographer that helps her cover college expenses, and she volunteers at the local SPCA, including producing photographs of shelter animals, so they can be posted on Facebook for adoption.

While my focus turned decidedly towards California from 2011-2014 as I researched sites for my upcoming book, I'm excited that its completion in 2015 leaves me with a world of opportunity for 2016!
