Ever since we started, I always envisioned a Tikko 'Best Of.' We go through thousands upon thousands of images per year, we tend to lose track of things, especially our best work. I always forget about certain projects in the archive, as things are always shifting and as Tikko fine tunes its specialties. Not to mention, close to failing external hard drives (knock on wood) of raw NEF's, you can imagine the high volume of material we store everyday.
Our lives for the past few years has been a roller coaster to say the least, this year was definitely no different. Here are the best images and moments of 2008. Enjoy, and thanks again for checking in with us.
