Turning the corner from January to February means we’re
fully in the New Year, but we have one last post in our series of favorite
images from 2011. The selections of MEG members
Sandy LeBrun-Evans and
Maureen Minehan prove that photographs can be very personal, yet still universal, at
the same time.

I thought a lot about my favorite image from last year and
at first I thought it was a tossup between two from my
Forgotten series – Café 27 and
Truck. The real answer though is more personal – my true favorite image from
2011 is one I took of my daughter walking down the beach with her girls behind
her, heads down, following their mama. Something about my strong baby girl
leading the way for her own daughters spoke to me. She is a wonderful mom
and a great person for her girls to look up to and follow through life.

My favorite 2011 image also features family and sand, even
though no people appear in it. This image was taken during a family trip to
Rehoboth Beach, DE that included multiple generations. My expectations for
shooting much that week were low – it can be hard to combine family time with
photography, no matter what the location. Still, my brother gamely rose with me
each morning at 5 a.m. to capture sunrise from the beach and I treasure both
the quiet time I had with him and the new work that came from it. This image
reflects the peace and beauty of those early morning excursions and will be
included in my upcoming solo exhibit opening March 26
th at Multiple
Exposures.
