Leica M9, 50mm F/2, f/8, 1/3000, iso 160
New Years day 2012. 2011 was a blockbuster year for me, and I have shared many high moments here and on Facebook. Our move to Washington State, our kids doing well in college, some great photo trips, old friends and new ones too, acquisition of a dream camera system. Life is good. Great in fact.
However, something really despicable happened within my extended family. Without going into details, it seems this issue is having a bigger effect than is healthy for me. So my goal for 2012 is to move past this.
So I chose this image for today very specifically. Today I will print this image and put it on my wall in my office where I spend the daytime hours. It represents a sign that all is well and I'm capable of resuming my normally happy existence.
Photographically, my resolution this year is (once again) to slow down while shooting, and focus on getting the highest possible quality images I am capable of. As my friend Dan Sniffin told me (and I'm still trying to learn): "Don't get every shot Bob, get the shot."
My best to all of you in the coming New Year!
