Resolutions

The question is always asked this time of year: “What’re your new near’s resolutions?”

I don’t usually have many, if any. Like many people, they’re forgotten about within a few weeks, and there’s no real accountability in the whole deal.

This year, though, between a gift and a project, I’ve got two.

First up is the project, and this post is part of it. One week ago, I posted about Project52, an effort to post at least once per week for the calendar year of 2010. My first resolution, therefore, is to write more here on my blog. Being, now, the first week of the year, I’ve got this week covered.

The gift is a “new” camera, by which I mean “new to me.” :) As a Christmas gift, my wife Yvonne gave me her Nikon Coolpix 5400. It may not be brand new, but it’s an upgrade over my existing Olympus Camedia C3000, and has 100% fewer dead pixels to boot! So, my second resolution (camera resolution, get it? Ha ha! Heh… ok, never mind) is to shoot more photos.

Yeah, there are a few other things I’d like to do, too, but these are a couple that I know are easily within reach. Nothing wrong with starting with the low-hanging fruit, no?

How about you, humble reader? What are your new year’s resolutions?

Looking through the photos I’ve got on my computer, I realize I have several sets to process and share. Here’s a particularly cute one from Yvonne’s and my trip to Montréal last May to hold you over until I get that going. Enjoy!

For those who hadn’t heard, or didn’t know the date, my wife (!) and I got married last weekend, August 31st. :-D Here are the photos my friend Steve took. For those who know me on Facebook, Yvonne’s been doing a good job of tagging me in any photos people put up there, too.

I’m gonna start posting more random photos and stuff around here, it’s a habit I’ve fallen out of. Here’s one from earlier today.
