It is very difficult to identify the key characteristics of a great image.  Different features will draw a person to a photo, ranging from photo quality, to the sentimental value of the captured moment, to the subject, or to the degree of humor or uniqueness of the situation.  2002 was my first fully digital year, and looking back it seems like an eternity since the days of film developing, over or under exposure, red-eye, unexpected blurry-ness, and two, three, or four copies to be mailed to friends around the world.  I tried my best to remain consistent in the criteria by which I selected these top ten images of 2002, but in the end I chose the pictures that gave me the greatest satisfaction, regardless of the reason.  Click on any picture for a full-screen view.  The top ten images of 2002 are as follows:


 
#1 - Sunrise just below the summit of Mont Blanc, 6 days after we set foot on the mountain





 
#2 - Jason and Aaron at the Champs de Mars





 
#3 - Marc at the Coolin beach party night (also his birthday)





 
#4 - Engagement announcement from Fuerteventura, Canary Islands





 
#5 - Cecilia in the Roman Ruins of Volubilis, Morocco





 
#6 - Sailing near Cherbourg, Mike, Marc, Carmen, Dominique, Andrea, Tullio, and Cecilia





 
#7 - The shadow of Mont Blanc on the surrounding peaks, taken from just below the summit





 
#8 - Helena's converted stoplight-Obelisk costume at our halloween party





 
#9 - Chenonceau chateau and gardens





 
#10 - Our sofa being moved in from the exterior of our 4th floor apartment

Several other photos that did not make it into the top ten, but certainly deserve honorable mention:
 
Andy in his devil ski hat, Breckenridge New Year's
Cecilia's toes recovering months after Mont Blanc
Goats in a tree in Morocco
View down from the last camp on Mont Blanc
