Hey Zach - Happy New Year to you too!
I think you've been developing a great style. You have a talent for identifying an interesting subject in an otherwise complex enviroment, and isolating it to create fine pieces of photographic art. Your "a 19" photo is a great example of that. I think the point of photography is to shoot what you like the most, and challenge yourself creatively while keeping it enjoyable. You seem to be doing very well at that, so my only advice is to keep it up!
I hope you don't take too long a hiatus from this site, because I've enjoyed your contributions. See you back here soon!
