Those who know me know I carry a camera around almost everywhere I go. And each year, I try to record the best events of my year and compile them into a scrapbook on Flickr. Up until recently, I had to remove each previous year from Flickr because they wouldn’t allow free users to have more than two sets. And, as I’m paying for a Google Picasaweb Account, I couldn’t justify also paying for Flickr. This year, they increased the number of sets for free users, thankfully, and so I’ve resumed my “Best of” collection for 2010.

It was a tough year to limit the photos. I met about 50 family members throughout Italy (and ate and drank like a king), traveled to San Francisco to meet some colleagues and friends, and celebrated three weddings. That, commingled with various barbecues, holidays and karaoke, made 2010 a really fun year to compile.
