Kevin J. Hotter, 2015
As we reflect on 2015, we remember the good, the bad and everything in-between. But, what’s really important…is how we conduct ourselves going forward. We must learn from our mistakes, misgivings and misfortunes.
Here are 15 of my photos that I hope put a smile on your face this past year. Thank you for being a part of the journey. I wish you all a wonderful 2016!! 🙂

Beautiful photos. What camera are you using? Also, did you do HDR with them or did you use an in-camera Art mode? Just curious. Thanks for following Humorous Interludes. By the way, I also have a photo blog at bigron42.com called Photomania if you are interested. Thanks. 🙂

Thanks Ron! I actually use my iPhone 6 for most of the photos. I use several different applications to get the photos to where I want them. To capture the image, I usually shoot a bunch of different angles of the same image, then later I review them all to pick my favorites. If I take 100 photos on a given trip, I’ll maybe only use 5 for my blog. I’m very selective of what I post. You know how it is….highly critical of your own work. Thanks for inquiring and the comment! I’ll check out your photos right now👍

I don’t remember the two wolves. Very cool. And the one with the water lapping against the rocks feels so real, like we could touch the water. Amazing. Happy New Year, Kevin!
