I’m keeping track of my 10 best photos throughout 2024. This started because I thought it would be funny to post “2024 Top 10 Photos” on January 1st, 2024 with 10 photos that I took that day.
My wife, Courtney, because she’s super smart, suggested I keep this going throughout the year. So, I’ll be updating my Top 10 photos throughout the year. In addition to posting them on social media, I’ll have this as a home for the photos so you can see where the current top 10 stands, along with other images that were in the top 10, but have fallen off.
The photos will be updated whenever I take a new photo that I want to add. Maybe some things that fall off will be added back on. Who knows? This is a new frontier.

If you’ve come to my photos and videos through social media, you might be wondering “Who is Zach Dobson? What’s his deal? Does he actually know what he’s talking about?” I want to tell you about how my love for photography developed (pun not intended, but acknowledged), how it lead me to you here, and…
Live from _____, It’s a ZDP Photo Walk! Have you tuned in to a live photo walk yet? I’ve been a photographer for over 20 years, and photo walks (AKA wandering around with the sole purpose of taking photos) have been a regular part of my practice. But lately I’ve added a new element… broadcasting…
Nothing like a good ol’ fashioned last-minute photo assignment. I was asked at 4:30 to accompany my 8-year-old to the creek to hunt for golf balls. I enjoyed making artistic photos of found golf balls, which I was definitely not something that had ever crossed my mind before. I spent less than 90 minutes shooting…
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the new renovations at the Carmel Clay Public Library and were excited at the opportunity to take a preview tour before the doors opened to the public. My wife and I homeschool our 5 kids, so the library is one of our most important resources. It was great getting to see…
Recently I decided to take some photos as a sort of “event street photographer.” Here I’ll talk about the process and show the results! What is Street Photography? If you’re not familiar with street photography, it’s candidly documenting the everyday life and interactions of people in public spaces. Sometimes the subjects know their photo is…
After a year of staying near home and only visiting state parks, I had forgotten just how large national parks are.

I want blue disc red popcorn back on the list!
