2017’s end of year listicles seem like they went down pretty well, so I’ve decided to put my personal prejudice against them to one and put together a few more for 2018. You only have yourselves to blame, so if you don’t want to see more of these in 2019, leave this page now.
Still here? Grand.
Once again, in the time honoured tradition of lazy posting at the end of the year, here’s the first in a series of seven top 10/countdown articles planned for EMULSIVE during this final-ish week of 2018.
First off is a quick self-indulgent look back at the most popular photographs of the year – all made by yours truly and based on reader views, likes, shares and comments. Click or tap on any of the images/links to view them full-size.
