Photography trip to Georgia — every frame a gift

I came to Georgia specifically for photography and the country delivered material at every turn. Svaneti towers at dawn was everything I'd hoped. Kutaisi's streets at dusk are an endless source of light and texture. The people, once comfortable with a camera, are extraordinary subjects.

ancient Christian heritage gave me some of my favourite images of the year. The only practical note: limited English outside Tbilisi — plan around it. Otherwise this is a photographer's dream. I've rarely come home with so much usable material from a single trip.
