Week 1 - Resolution

I've taken a pretty long break from blogging. When I saw this photo project, I thought it was the perfect combination to motivate me to pick up the camera a bit more and get back to blogging again.

Resolutions... Goals... Who likes to make those at the beginning of the year with everyone reading? Starting a 52 week project the first week of January sort of feels like something that might go on that list.

Running a 5k with no walking seems like something I might put on mine. But I'm not.

The only thing that I'm sure about this year is that I hope to take a break from my career for at least a few months this summer and spend some time with the little guy above before he starts school in the fall.

I didn't choose this picture because it's a great photo. I'm quite the lazy photographer. I LIKE to shoot in auto. Yep. I said it here on a photo project blog. I'll switch out to a different lens before I go manual, that's how lazy I am. Yes, I have an expensive camera and it's usually in auto. Occasionally I'll go into aperture or shutter priority. This photo is significant because it was shot in manual.

So if I'm making a resolution for 2012, it's that I'll shoot at least 51 more pictures in manual mode this year and quit being such a lazy photographer.
