Well I’m glad that’s over… 2009 good riddance and looking forward to a more prosperous New Year for 2010. This year I spent the New Year’s celebration with friends. If I can get a hold of the pictures I’ll forward along; I may censor the dirty tiger pics, but that remains to be seen.
This year I’m going to try and take up a daunting task of a 365 project. A summary of that link is I vow to take a picture every day and upload a post every day with that photography. As you can read this, I’m already late on this but have a back log of photos to process and load. The thought here is to improve both my writing skills, get a full album view of life through my lens and ultimately push myself to be a better photographer. Note: The above picture does not belong to me; credit is due to Bob Jagendorf, a much better photographer than I.
In addition to the photo365, I’d like to accompany each post with some music. Yes why don’t I make it harder on myself but the goal is set and let’s see how I do. The first song I heard in the new year was Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind which I think being both one of the top 10 songs of the year and being very appropriate for both New Yorkers and the new year, it was fitting.

Here’s a shot I took of some graffiti on the inside of our lobby door (It only lived 2 days before the super painted over it). I took this just before Christmas and I think it’s good advice for 2010:
