Since 2006, I have uploaded 25,043 photographs and images to the website Flickr. Every Saturday since 29 August 2009, I have culled through those images and selected one as my Pic(k) of the Week.
Here's a retrospective collage of the fifty-two images I selected for 2023. Clicking on the thumbnail will take you to the full image.

DATA
☞ Of my fifty-two selections in 2023:
- 21 images (40 %) were landscapes: intimate, grand, or tangentially.
- 15 (28 %) were of trees, flowers, or plants.
- 9 (17 %) were of birds or other animals.
- 7 (13 %) were new-topographical (i.e., structures, objects, vehicles, or signs).
- 7 (13 %) were street-photography or focused on people, primarily or tangentially.
- 5 (9 %) were images of the sky or astronomy-related.
- 6 (11 %) were fermentably related.
- 2 (3 %) were of art, music, or culture in one form or another.
- No images were in black-and-white.
(The percentage total is greater than 100 %, as categories overlap.)
☞ Those data compare to 2022, when:
- 29 images (56%) were of 'nature.'
- 10 (19%) were of structures, objects, vehicles, or signs (not including breweries).
- 10 (19%) were focused on people, primarily or tangentially.
- 7 (13%) were of art or culture in one form or another.
- 7 (13%) were fermentably related.
- 6 (11%) were in black-and-white (but none were beer-related).
☞ Here are links to the ten image retrospectives for the years 2014 through 2022. (There is none for 2021, because I didn't do one that year.)
☞ Examining those ten years of
Pic(k)s of the Week, the trend has been away from 'fermentable'-related photography toward a potpourri consisting principally of nature, landscape, and 'new topographic' photography.

(As above, the figures don't reflect a sum, as a category may be a subset of another: such as breweries also appearing under beer, food also under brewpub/brewery, etc.)
