A look back at some of the best reader-submitted photos of 2018
Already coming to a close, 2018 has flown right by. Through these past twelve months an array of talented local photographers and MyNorth readers have sent in photos.
If we haven’t met yet, I’m the Junior Graphic Designer and Daily Photo Editor here at MyNorth. I have had such a great time talking with all of the amazing MyNorth readers who have sent in their photography and here I would like to showcase my favorite reader submitted photos from each month in 2018.
