The Birds

So the day after Christmas, Bethany and I took a drive down to Key West for the day. When we got there all we could do was drive around because there was absolutely no parking available that day. So we drove around for about an hour before making the decision to start the 3.5 hour drive back to Miami. On our way back we stopped and walked around on the 7 Mile Bridge, and took some cool photographs. If I had a better camera and a good L series telephoto lens these pictures would be the National Geographic quality (Ok, not really, but possibly if my camera wasn't messed up right now). So here they are. Let me know what you think about them.

Note: The arch that you see on just about all the pictures, i think its made from the lens mount on the camera. I tried to get rid of it, but it didn't work as good as i wanted it to. Good thing this was just for fun.

New Years Resolutions

So my wife and I were just out running a few errands, and some how we started talking about New Years Resolutions. Bethany has come up with some really good resolutions that she wants to do. Now I'm wandering what am I going to do for my new years resolution?

I don't want to do the Big 5 resolutions: get organized, help others, learn something new, get out of debt, and battle the bulge. Part of the reason I don't want to do the Big 5 is because I'm constantly trying to do those things. So what else could I do?

Here is what I'm thinking about doing:

1. Reading 1 book per month that I've never read.
2. Put away $50 per week for 1 year for a new camera.
3. Loose 5lbs per month.
4. Shoot at least 1 set of senior pictures a month.
5. Do one Design project per month.
6. Read the Bible from cover to cover in 1 year.
7. Write 1 devotional per month or week.
8. Learn XHTML.
9. Learn Adobe Flash.
10. Learn Adobe Dreamweaver.
11. Write a Book on Book Design.
12. Learn Spanish.
13. Excersize.
14. Get published in a magazine.

What do you think, and what are your new years resolutions? What has worked for you in the past, and what did you find didn't work at all for your resolutions?

Let me know about it…
