Top 10 Greatest Photos of 2024

Zach Dobson Photography Top 10 Greatest Photos of 2024

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.
