Looking over the photos I made from this past year, I found it difficult to pick favorites. How do you narrow down the very best photos after such an interesting year? For me 2012 was a new beginning. I started my year in a new place after having been hired at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bozemandailychronicle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bozeman Daily Chronicle<\/a> and spent most of my time in a state of creative reconnaissance, exploring all the beauty southwest Montana has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I chose photos that made a personal connection. I wanted to show you all photos that make you feel something. So much of what photojournalists do everyday is bring readers into the lives of their subjects through captivating, storytelling images, to quote SI Photo Editor <a href=\"http:\/\/jimcolton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Colton<\/a>, &#8220;that reach down your throat and give your heart a tug&#8221;. Whether they succeed is in the eye of the beholder.<\/p>\n<p>As I was editing down this year&#8217;s take of images and trying to pick out ten for the printed newspaper, I realized that trying to capture the essence of the Gallatin Valley in a handful of photos was a fool&#8217;s pursuit. Thankfully, the people in this community that make it such a great place are too vast and rich in culture to show in its entirety within a select few favorites within my &#8220;Best of Photography&#8221; slideshow. I have much more exploring to do.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to what the new year will bring. Thanks so much for all of your support and I hope all of you have a bold, adventurous new year! -M<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a year!
