Pixel phones have been my primary camera for the past nine years. Ever since I picked up the Pixel 2 XL, I’ve fallen in love with the camera and everything it allowed me to shoot in an instant, no matter where I was or what I was doing. I didn’t have to plan ahead and carry my mirrorless cam and long-range zoom with me anymore, nor did I have to spend hours editing, stacking, and coloring photos to get the effect I wanted.

In 2024, I shot over 5000+ photos with my Pixel 8 and 9, and shared with you the best ones. I’m back in 2025, having carried my Pixel 9 Pro XL and 10 Pro XL through Paris, Budapest, Avignon, Rotterdam, Delft, The Hague, Mulhouse, Colmar, Bruges, Oostende, Athens, and beyond. I shot another 5000+ photos this year, and sifting through them was, once again, the most grueling end-of-year task. But I managed to pull through at the last minute and pick my absolute favorite snaps for this year.
