When I sat down to look over the year's output, I didn't think that I would come up with 12 shots that would rival last year's Top Twelve. After viewing in timeline mode and making notes of possible entries, I had a list of 33. Far more than I thought were there. I guess perception gets tainted with experience and mood.
With autumn came a spate of snapshots and "out of element" shots. Quantity was there, but mostly these were shot as memorabilia. Valid as that is, it doesn't necessarily feed any artistic bent within. So the year ended with November and December daily photo galleries somewhat "lighter" than the others.
Of the 33 candidates, only 11 came from the last half of the year. Granted, vacation affords many photo-ops and, thus, has padded the front half of the year.
So here they are, a subjective list of what I think is representative of my photographic output for 2007, presented in no particular order. In the gallery comments I've added a list of honorable mentions.

a new generation.
2008 brought a record drought to the southeast, and atlanta wasn't spared. with neighboring states arguing over who owns the water in the north georgia lakes and threats of suing the corps of engineers, it seemed like it was going to get ugly.
is it a lack of suitable planning that leads to all the posturing? with a little more rain in the winter months, I wonder how quickly we'll forget that the problem is still there.
without the rainfall, I wasn't really expecting the fall colors to be there this year, but was pleasantly surprised to find a few local spots that were worthy. this one comes from a new county park, opened this past year, providing recreational opportunities for a new generation.
