From backyard gardens that inspire to backstage at the opera, inside art studios and amazing closets, one of our goals here at SouthPark is to show you parts of the city you might not otherwise get to see. We’re able to do that through cherished relationships with many of the city’s top photographers. We consider ourselves lucky to work with some of the best. On these pages, we look back at some of our favorite photos of the year.
