Here’s to 2011

Not sure what it means that my last post was almost one year ago, but I can say that I’m not surprised. It was a crazy, unpredictable and in some ways, completely off the wall sort of year. If 2010 taught me one thing it was that almost anything can happen in a year, and often when you least expect it: the good and the bad, the exciting and the mundane, and everything in between.

This New Year – 2011 – offers up a clean state, a fresh start. And while that is obviously a trite and arbitrary observation, well… go with what works. And I refer back to my first post for this:

I remember after the first month or two I had my camera, I started to notice a different way I was viewing the world. Everything was a picture, everything was framed, cropped and rotated in my head. I’d scan the landscapes and see the art in them everywhere. And it was then that I realized that I was finally beginning to ’see’

But its how we see it, what we do with it, that makes the difference, what matters. Things happen, things change, that we can’t control or predict. But what we can do is alter how we act and react, the world is what we make it. The elements are all there, its how we frame, crop and rotate, its how we see the world that matters.
