New Year’s Resolution

December 29th, 2006  |  Published in Out Loud

As I was walking in to work this morning, I was thinking about what my resolution for 2007 should be. I don’t usually care to make resolutions, let alone follow them, but what the hell.

Now, I’m learning Ruby on Rails at the moment, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t harbor hopes for launching a (beta) product in the next 12 months. :) I’m also excited about the prospects for SMITH, the personal media/stories webzine I started with long-time friend and colleague Larry Smith in January of ‘06. I’d also like to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

But I think I’m going to go with “take more pictures”.

Taking more pictures would mean getting better at photography, sure, but it would also mean spending more time thinking about and creating art. And of course, it would mean being away from the computer screen, likely outdoors or in some new and interesting place.

These are all very good things, so I think I’ll focus on that.

Oh, and I’m going to try and split time between my digital camera and my old Nikon FM2n (which I love). Digital revolution be damned.
