New Year’s Day, 2012

I have a small tradition where I go out to take pictures on the morning of New Year’s Day every year. I don’t stay up late or drink much the night before, so it’s not hard to get up before the sun rises and enjoy some time to think and take a few pictures on one of the quietest days of the year.

Last year went by much too quickly for me. I threw myself headfirst into my new business, which has been going better than I ever could have expected, but I think I may have lost some perspective along the way. I definitely didn’t spend enough time on photography last year, and I’ve been out of the loop socially, too. I’m not much for resolutions, but I’d like to finish a substantial photo project in 2012, and I’d like to do a better job of keeping in touch with friends.
