the best of dreamecho

I've been putting the same amount of effort and care into this blog since its inception. (In truth, thanks to a tripod and camera upgrade, the only aspect of dreamecho that has improved significantly is the personal photography.) While some people have 'fessed up to going through all my archives, such a process is probably not everyone's cup of tea. So, for new readers and old friends alike, I am creating this ongoing list of what I think is my most compelling and representative work. Enjoy!
