How did I make out in my first year practicing large format photography?

It's that time of year again.. the end. Or the beginning - depending on how you look at partially filled drinking glasses I suppose.

In this video I'd like to share a couple thoughts in regards to shooting on large format before recapping on the images I made this year and comment on a dozen of my favorite picks.
