THE YEAR IN PHOTOS – 2011 Jon Hillenbrand, December 22, 2011December 30, 2015 In 2011, I shot more than 20,000 photos, keeping around 17,000 of them, at 343 photo shoots (not including physician headshots). Someone in my office suggested that I do a, “Photos of the Year,” but narrowing down 17,000+ photos to 24 or so that are the best is maybe too difficult for me to accomplish in one or two afternoons. So, I’ve narrowed it down to just under 200 picks. Where I can, I’ve added captions to explain what’s going on in the photo, my impressions at the time, behind the scenes photo setup info, etc. For now, enjoy this group of my favorites from this year. Thanks for watching. Check out the individual pics for the comments on Flickr. Photography 2011flickrphotographyphotosphotos of the yearthe year in photoswrapupyear end

It was a hot day and I took my time concentrating on getting nice shots despite the highness of the sun in the mid-morning sky. Forty-five minutes in, I… Read More
Photography Today was Remarkable December 5, 2008October 17, 2019 Last night I went to a mass at a beautiful church, St. Mary’s of the Angels. It’s the largest Catholic church in IL. The numbers use to describe this church (hundreds of feet high, an organ as wide and tall as some houses) would confound most people and draw doubt… Read More
