Favorite Photos, December. Click for a larger version.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here are my favorite photos for the month of December. The story behind this “favorite photos by date” project is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most of the December photos are portraits. I don’t do much nature photography in December. The pretty autumn leaves are gone and most years the pretty winter snows have not yet arrived. So I take pictures of family and friends, models, and our dog Sunny shows up several times.\u00c2\u00a0 The same will be true for the winter months which follow. Winter is just not my favorite photography season<\/a>. But there were five days for which I picked two first place favorite photos for the same date. As usual, there are some days that have a second, third, or even fourth place photo.<\/p>\n

The mix of photos this month is as follows:<\/p>\n

Family and friends – 13
\nModels – 6
\nLandscapes – 4
\nWildlife – 3
\nEvents – 3
\nPlaces – 3<\/p>\n

December photos by location:<\/p>\n

\nIowa – 4
\nNebraska – 2
\nCalifornia – 2
\nMichigan – 1
\nIllinois – 1
