Do you get inspired to travel by looking at photos? Get destinations ideas for your next trip by looking through my Best Travel Photography of 2015.
It’s that time of year where we look back on 2015 and make silly superlative lists – best, worst, most, least, biggest, shortest, most fun, sunniest, rainiest… and becuase I don’t feel like writing this week (being my own boss is really great sometimes) and instead feel like spending time with family and friends – you get a superlative list.
Plus – I’m assuming that you really don’t want to read anything this week either, so I’ll make this really easy for you – all you have to do is look at pretty pictures. I had a wonderful year full of travel to the far corners of the globe (see my 2015 Holiday Video recap) and my camera was with me at all times in these picturesque destinations. In fact apparently someone noticed a few of my 2015 images as I was recently included in this list of Top 100 Travel Photographers in the World in 2015. Yes…I’m not lying and no – I have no idea how I ended up on this list. But I’ll take any praise I can get! And maybe, just maybe, one of this pictures will spark a little travel bug within you for 2016!
