Well, there is but one more sunrise and one more sunset left in 2006. Unfortunately, with rain in the forecast for the next 2 days, it doesn’t look like I’ll get to experience them.
I’m not one to reminisce much, but this has been a great year.
- This year I got back into my photography, after a long hiatus of several years.
- I took time off from work to explore my passion. I visited the Blue Ridge Parkway in both NC and VA quite few times!
- I started two blogs, after not even knowing what a blog was!
- I started dieting and exercising have lost 31 pounds, 18 of these over the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays!
- I bought a Nikon D2x and whole bunch of other stuff to go with it.
- I met some really nice people of the internet and have a feeling that one of them will become a very close friend … you know who you are! I’ll be there for a visit in March!
- I’ve seen some really good photography on the web.
Overall, it’s just been fantastic.
I think that this is my favorite picture that I took this year. Based on my frame counter, I’ve shot well over 14,000 images since April. Of course, a lot of them have been deleted, or are duplicates. Of those 14,000, I’ve posted 234, a scant 1.6%.
Next year, I think that the number of exposures will be less, but the quality higher and type of image will be different. I’m really looking forward to my Next Step workshop and getting some shots of people.
So, here’s to a Happy New Year! (Lifts his glass of Beringer White Zin to toast!)

I am very thankful that you have gotten back into photography this past year – that alone makes it worthwhile. Glad to hear it has been such a good year. I look forward to many more memorable photos from you, as well as some more insightful commentary on life.
I know who I am!! I’m getting excited, too.
It was a great year for you, you can leave it quite proud and satisfied with yourself for doing so much and so well, too.
This shot was definitely one of your best.
