Cliche, right? Of course it is! But yes, my goal is to weigh 140 again.
And no, this is not my current weight. First off, I had the camera on me. Plus, I may or may not have tweaked the scale a little bit to skew the numbers. I am no where near as brave as Sarah Judith.
I began 2010 with renewed interest in film. www.flickr.com/photos/senroy/4232020560/ I believe I still fired more digital pictures than film ones, but it was closer than I believed it would be. The two cameras pictured here will replace the Rollei and Nikon in the 2010 pic I linked. My goal is twofold:
1) Take more film than digital.
2) Develop all my own film. (Yes, including C-41 and E-6.)
The 5D will still always be at hand, I have to keep the grandparents' inboxes freshly full and digitial is just far too convenient for this. But if we travel this year as hoped, I will be leaving digital at home.
Sidenote on the pictured EOS3: Both the metering and the AF performance handily eclipse my 5D. It's also lighter, easier to navigate settings/menus, and it makes less noise and vibration when taking a picture. Excepting having to buy, develop, and scan the film, I see the 5D as a backwards step in just about every way!
Jan 02 2017: [Resolution] I'm maintaining my New Year's resolution to recycle and help keep the environment a little healthier. For no other reason than to just prevent the planet from becoming a giant garbage dump.
Planner begins with some of my thoughts about this process and a quote from Neil Gaiman.

My 2008 resolutions........
One is to stay healthy - I realize that I don't have a LOT of control over that, but I can keep a positive attitude, follow up with my doctors, eat healthy and exercise.
My second resolution is this..... in this journal, every single day of 2008 I will enter 3 things that I'm thankful for that day. They can't overlap, so that will be 1098 unique things by the end of the year.
We are all so blessed - even when things go wrong, or we have a bad day, rest assured that someone else had a worse day, or is suffering more than you at that moment in time. Be thankful for what you have - for those close, for your job, etc. I plan to focus on not only the large things, but the small ones as well. Too often we let the negativity overtake whatever positive we have going on. I hope this will teach me not to do that.
And the best part? I found a PINK journal - yay :)
So far I have:

I'm not really into new years resolutions, but here's a short list of my photo related ambitions for this new year:
- Learn more about lighting (and read up on strobist.blogspot.com/)
- Practice shooting in manual mode (just to get a better grip on how things work)
- Shoot a nice portrait of a stranger
- Get into top 10 on explore
- Appreciate the fact that the Fugger group is still alive and participate in more invasions!
Not sure how well this will go - but Cosmo seems to want to turn the page and be less of a jerk to Flapjack.

Macro Mondays (01.04.10) - New Year's Resolutions...
This shot is for the Macro Mondays group theme of resolutions. I am almost always late, and every year I resolve to be on time. May I can be on time in at least one time zone this year! LOL!
New Year's Resolution - post backlog of photos while camera's on the fritz.
Is this crop better than the original treatment?

When making my resolutions this year, the usual list items reared their heads -> more running, less wine, healthy eating, volunteering, taking photography to the next level, getting my motorcycle license... blah, blah, blah. It's just noise if you don't really do it! I really want these to stick this time so I decided to look at these things differently -> I am investing in myself. Ha! Let's see if that works!
I plan on investing more than the equivalent of $1.42 in myself, BTW.

1. New Years Resolution.
OMG how did that happen, Okay I know - too much Christmas celebration. I have been very lucky for the last 40 years or so of my adult life never having to worry about my weight, it always staying about the same no matter what I eat. The last year or two though things have started to change so my new years resolution is to lose a stone (14lb)
