I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. I make birthday resolutions. Tomorrow is my birthday, so I figured I’d report in. Last year, I vowed to be passionate about something…anything. I had just moved to Chicago from Costa Rica and was feeling the incredible loss of my love of surfing. At the time I didn’t know what it was going to be. I just set the intention.
What surfaced was a rekindling of my interest in photography. I’ve always liked it but, usually I’d shoot for a few weeks and then stop. This time around, I attribute my continued enthusiasm for taking pictures to my ability to share them (via Instagram and Twitter) with a community of equally picture happy people. So thanks to all you out there who inspired, commented and “hearted” my pictures. It made a difference.
