So This is the New Year

Sorry for the Death Cab for Cutie quote, but I couldn’t resist. If you look at the date of my last post, it’s been more than a year since I’ve published anything here. I don’t have any good reason for it. Maybe I felt like there wasn’t anything worth blogging about. Or maybe it’s just because writing a blog post is too laborious, and I didn’t want to peel my eyes off of whatever game I may have been playing on my phone, or stopped myself from doom scrolling for a few minutes and just write a blog post.

That’s hopefully going to change in 2025. My intent on this, the 3rd day of January, 2025, is to publish more often. Should I commit to posting weekly? I think I should.

My other intentions, or resolutions, if we want to use the word that’s thrown around at the beginning of every new year, are, in regards to the relevancy of this website and this blog:

  • Read at least 12 books

  • Begin a new chapter of my Parks Project (more on this in its own blog post)

  • Become more “fluent” in the cyanotype and carbon processes

  • Print more photographs (those captured digitally)

  • Sketch more

  • Paint more

  • Completely revamp my website

Looking back on 2024 and the work I made, despite not being great in quantity, and the quality could be debated, I feel pretty good about things. And looking ahead for 2025, I’m quite excited by the potential that lies ahead of me.

So come along on the journey of 2025 with me. Hopefully we both gain something from it.

Happy New Year!
