and here we find ourselves teeming with anticipation on the brim of another year; a tidal shift calendar-based and with purportedly endless possibilities.
this year perhaps, instead of attempting to do everything, accomplish everything, be everywhere, and check the entirety of my life's wants and desires on my ever-evolving life's checklist, i believe that i will aim towards the more realistic. the grounded and surely-attainable.
publish a small photo book you say? well yes, i can accomplish that for sure.
bake a batch of oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies? thy will be done.
photograph and photograph and reel and document and pontificate and continue to produce, dream, smile, and bliss out in the face of adversity?
multi-check.

we're not kids anymore. we're not kidding ourselves. we're not able to be precocious any longer.
it's time to strike a chord, find the balance, teeter the scales in your favor, let go of old regrets, start actualizing your physical fitness, doodle on eeeeeverything, focus in, listen and reflect. be better.
it's time to pick up that camera, any camera (from toy to mobile/smart[dumb]phone to TLR, to rangefinder, to SLR, to DSLR, to medium digiback leica ricoh 4x5 large format bellowed chassis land camera everything everything anything, and be the photographer that you are, instead of be like everyone else and say you're a photographer.
i mean, who isn't a photographer here? sure you can shoot, but do you have something to say? something to share? something to love and embody?
well, on this day already half over, i hope that your tomorrow and each day of next year is filled with tiny victories. if you need of me, i'll be closer than you'll ever expect; heart-close and ever-supportive.

tonight's homework, the last homework of the new year:
bury an ill will of this year, and plant a seed of goodness for the next.

Happy Newyear to ye, friend o' mine.
yes - make your work personal. this is important to remember. reminded me of that quote I like, something like: the hardest part is to be who you are in a world trying to make you like everyone else.
