Instagram Year In Review

Instagram has become my go-to social media account throughout 2014, with an image being uploaded by myself almost everyday. Unlike other media outlets, Instagram apparently doesn’t sleep at the weekends, with a constant flow of interaction being posted throughout the week.For that reason, i’ve decided to take a look back at 2014 through Instagram, with 12 images capturing a snapshot of each month of the year. Today we’re up to August, and are firmly caught up in the summer trail running and cycling antics. I’ve added captions to all of the images, that you can see over on my Instagram account, but here’s a quick look at the images that have been uploaded so far.January

Over the next couple of weeks I'll be looking back at my 2014, for a recap of the year. Starting with January, and this image of a couple ski touring high up in #zermatt. We had a strange start to the year with conditions always proving difficult up in the mountains especially for events like the Swatch Skiers Cup and Freeride World Tour. #yearinreview #skiing #winter #mountains #mountainmonday #captureone

February

Day 2 of the #yearinreview and it's time for February. Italy was getting lots of snow, with Loïc Deschamps pictured here taking a free run on a particularly epic heli day. I also made the trip to the States to take part in a photo competition in SLC. We were promised beautiful skies but were greeted by the exact opposite. I met some great photographers there including Jim Harris @perpetualweekend // he's having a tough time of late, following a kiting accident recently in Chile. Click on his profile, check out his shots and send him positive vibes //

March

March is up next on my #yearinreview, including the annual trip over to #Verbier for the end of season closer of the Freeride World Tour. This image of competitors hiking was transformed for an 'out of context' series, with this being transformed into a large format aluminium print for a clients wall. It looked great! #photoshop #skiing #hiking #winter

April

What England lacks in elevation, it makes up in beauty (in my eyes anyway). In April I headed over to The Lake District and climbed a mountain that I'd dreamt of since I was a child. #Helvellyn might not have been the biggest mountain I've scale this year, but it proves to be one of the most memorable. #yearinreview #lakedistrict #landscape #mountains #england

June

Onto June for my #yearinreview with Elisa Desco getting that sweet taste of victory at the Mont Blanc marathon, becoming world champion in the process. This image really illustrates the fact that sometimes it's nice to get a little perspective change from the regular angles.

July

With the Tour de France taking up almost all of July, it was an obvious stop for today's #yearinreview image. from Yorkshire to Paris, there was action all along the way. Behind all of the fanfare, there's just a bunch of guys getting ready to take on that day.
