2014: The Year in Selfies

I know, lots of people hate selfies. I’m sorry. I enjoy taking selfies, posing with my good friends from around the country – and sharing the photos via Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter with our community of friends and colleagues. The majority of these are people I only see once or twice a year and I celebrate each time we come together. Looking back at these photos by way of Instagram, it gives me a good sense of the past year. They make me smile! I’ve done my best to put these in rough chronological order.
