I think this year, I may actually keep one of my New Year's Resolutions!
One of the goals of this year in Paris for Sara and me is to actually make time for those things that we give short shrift to in our normal rat-race lifestyle. [True story: for Sara, one of these resolutions is "get more sleep." This from the woman that makes Rip Van Winkle look like an insomniac Paris Hilton.]
So, my resolution is to take more pictures, and in general to take my amateur photography hobby more seriously.
To get a jump start, a pre-departure goal of mine was to go through all of my past photos and to compile a "portfolio" of sorts. You can check it out at:
Please let me know what you think in general, or which photos are your favorites.
Going into "The Paris Year," my intention is to hang my camera (a small point-and-shoot digital...I prefer this to lugging a Leica) by the front door of our apartment, so I can grab it each time I walk out the door, and never be without it.
Watch this space for ongoing evidence of my photographic expoits. (And, to be fair to Sara, I know one of her goals is to write more, so stay tuned to her blog posts and possibly other writings here.)

Josh, these pictures are fabulous. I don't think I could pick a favorite. But you could totally open a little shope like the Claude fellow in Dupont and sell these...really quite marvelous.
impressive, my friend! you've got a great eye for abstract angles and shadow.
i really liked the beach at cat island, the windows in argentina and neil's cafe in new york. my favorite, however, may have to be the new year's eve hat discarded in an alley. something there beyond the image itself, like one of those photos they show you in a creative writing class and ask you to write the backstory.
i'll be curious to see how this experience abroad will be reflected in your photography. happy hunting ansel adams!
