2006 In Review

As with my previous best-of galleries, this is a basic overview of the best and/or most memorable pictures I took during 2006. There were less portraits this year of value, and more other miscellaneous shots; that's probably because I took the camera to less parties, and wanted to play more with the camera in a vaguely art-y way. Or something like that.
