This season a princetonbasketball.com photographer captured the action at 34 different games, 28 of which were Stephen Goldsmith's fine work.
Picking favorite photos from 2010-11 shot by Stephen Goldsmith or Robert Solomon was not an easy task.
In his fourth season with the site, Stephen's images continued to help enhance my game stories and analysis. His visuals have given members unable to regularly attend Princeton contests a better understanding of specific situations involving this year's team and have often been the only pictures capturing many moments, both home and away.
I know I speak for many of us when I say I'm not sure what I'll do without him next season as he heads to Florida for college.
As I did a year ago, I've hand-selected my favorite photos Stephen and Robert took exclusively for princetonbasketball.com.
My editorial choices were even harder than the ones I had to make last season, the end result of lengthy review and great internal debate. Thus, I'm including 30 snapshots compared to last season's 15.
These are both the pictures of the year as well as the Pictures of the Year.
