Flix Pix Re-Mix of 2020

Every Saturday since 29 August 2009, I have posted a Pic(k) of the Week: one in a weekly series of photos taken (or noted) by me, which occasionally, but not always, have a good fermentable as subject.

Here's a retrospective of the fifty-two images I selected for 2020. Clicking on a thumbnail will take you to the full image.

What's up?

Of my fifty-two selections in 2020:

• 37 images, or 71%, were NOT of a fermentable, comestible, or related subject.
• Thus, only 15 (29%) were.
• 19 images (36%) were of 'nature.'
• 17 (32%) were of structures or objects (not including breweries).
• 6 (11%) were focused on people, primarily or tangentially.
• 8 (15%) were of art in one form or another.
• 3 images (5%) were in black-and-white (of which none were beer-related).

That compares to 2019, when:

• 34, or 65%, were NOT of a fermentable, comestible, or related subject.
• Thus, 18 (35%) were.
• 24 (46%) were images of 'nature.'
• 11 (21%) were of structures (not including breweries).
• 11 (21%) were black-and-white images (of which 4 were beer-related).
• 6 (11%) were focused on people.
• 3 (2%) were of art.

The figures don't reflect a sum, as a category may be a subset of another.

Examining the images of the previous six years, 2015-2020, here are how my selections have changed, vis-a-vis fermentables:

	2020	2019	2018	2017	2016	2015
Beer	12	10	12	28	34	34
Brewery/Pub	8	12	5	8	16	20
Cask ale	1	1	2	5	0	10
Wine	0	1	0	1	0	3
Whiskey/Liquor	0	0	1	0	0	2
Food	1	2	3	4	8	5

As above, the figures don't reflect a sum, as a category may be a subset of another: such as breweries also appearing under beer, food also under brewpub/brewery, etc. But the trend, again, in undeniable. The artsy-fartsy has grown at the expense of beer.

Here are links to the image retrospectives for the years 2014 through 2019:

• 2019 retrospective
• 2018 retrospective
• 2017 retrospective
• 2016 retropective
• 2015 retrospective
• 2014 retrospective

And, finally...

Many of the remainder of my 20,000+ photographs and images can be seen at Flickr. Additionally, I have an Instagram account. There, I post with even less of a good-fermentable focus than here.

This year, for my inaugural Pic(k) of the Week, I posted —on Saturday, 2 January 2021— an image, not of a good fermentable, but of a good comestible. It was a bowl of spinach soup (vegetarian, of course; 'vegan,' if you must). Recipe included.

And, so, the cycle begins anew.
