January 2: I'm getting a slow start putting pen to paper with resolutions for 2009. It's something I always do, not so much because I expect to KEEP the resolutions--but it's a way of touching bases, seeing where I am and where I'd like to get to. My dear friend Ruthanne in Weymouth, Mass., sent me this journal for Christmas (my only Christmas present), and I've been delaying writing her a thank-you note until I sit down with it and spend some time. I was just about to do that when I thought, no, I really must post my Day 2 pictures. Immediately! Ah, but now I'm done with that, and so it's time to sit and ponder my life a bit.
no runner ups this time....I wasn't catching just the image I was going for.....but since its a bad idea to get overly caught up in having an exact photo in mind, I opted to change my approach and go for the triptych. January and in particular right around the turn of the New Year is a good time for threes.... as we tend to look at past, present, and future: Where we've been, Where we are now, and Where we'd like to be ....

Well only 2 more images to go.
I have been reflecting on my life today and realised one thing I have always wanted to do is play the Guitar. I took it up at around the age of 9 but soon gave it up. It then took me another 20 years to decide to try it again. Yes you guessed it yet again I put it down and forgot all about it now 5 years later I have decided it is time to take it up again.
The reason I have decided to do it this time is obviously when I struggle to learn something I tend to put it away and forget about it. And photography has taught me one thing that if I try hard and break through that initial nightmare of learning the settings framing and composition then how hard can it be to learn how to play the guitar.
I know it is a bit early for a new years resolution but this year I have decided to pick something more realistic as for the last 4 years it has been to give up smoking but that last a day and normally because I am nursing a big hangover lol. So I am going to see if I can put in the same time and effort as I do photography. As you can see I have a slight problem only 4 strings but I took the step and ordered some last night so as soon as they arrive I will be off. Xfactor hear I come lmfao
