Here we take a look back at 2010 in the landscape of New York City, with one photo from each month. I often keep a camera with me as I walk around the city, and photograph scenes and patterns and effects of the light that catch my eye, like the rainy reflections above, or the illusion of a face in a mound of plowed snow, below.

The Summer is about relaxing outdoors. Streetlights through leaves make an urban park at night an impressionist fantasy.

The chaos of signs, patterns and colors embodies the energy of the city.

Autumn in New York is a long, lingering season of mild weather and gentle brightness.

All of these pictures were made with a Canon G11, casual shots of scenes glimpsed as I made my quotidian peregrinations of jobs and errands in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. I have selected one photo out of all those made in each month of 2010. Happy 2011!
