Documenting life and exploration on Guam has been the mission statement for my photography in 2022. Here are my twelve favorite images of the year.

Documenting life and exploration on Guam
The last of the light
We were walking out of the jungle when I spotted this shaft of light coming through the trees. It provided depth to an otherwise flat, green chaos.
Become an expert
I've spent a little time recently thinking about expertise. What is it? How can it be obtained? And how should it be regarded by those in full-time ministry?
A Sappy Closeup
While walking through the dark jungle, beams of light often break through and highlight the tiny details. In this case, I noticed a single drop of tree sap.
Spotting the small things
I sat on a rock looking for tiny things to photograph on the beach. The color and texture of this shell caught my eye eventually. Shooting macro is a joy!
Deep in the weeds
I usually take my camera to the jungle or beach without a plan. Today I photographed anything I found interesting. This was my favorite image of the trip.
Sunrise hermit crab
I had an early morning walk along the beach at Asan, finding this little guy (and many of his companions) just as the best light of the morning arrived.
My new favorite place
We've hiked in the Fonte River area for several years, only recently discovering these beautiful falls below the dam. There are rock walls on both sides.
Bright light and shadow
Photographing a sunset can be challenging. There's too much light in the background and very little in the foreground. So, we find interesting shadows.
