Size Matters



  Size does matter!

I am not normally big on setting New Year's resolutions or writing down goals at the beginning of a new year.  Normally, I will have some thoughts in my mind on what I hope to accomplish but don't write them down.

I am not sure what has come over me but this year is different.  I sat around during the holidays and a whole group of goals for this year came flooding into my mind.  So I wrote them down.  Last year really got away from me and the year slipped by so quickly with many things left undone.  Perhaps that is why I am getting more discipled about goals this year.  I don't want the year to slip away from me.

I took a lot of photographs last year, particularly with all the traveling I did.  Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Malaysia, Thailand, London, Ecuador, El Salvador, ah......, I can't even remember all the places I traveled to last year.  However, I took the photographs and but then just loaded them to my Drobo (4 terabyte staorage device) and they have just sat there.  I have done nothing with them.  

One of my many goals for 2013 is to do more photography.  Not just take photos but to edit, print, mount, matte and frame them.  I have been working revising and setting up my home photography workspace.  Today I got my printer operational again.

It was exciting.  There is just something special about editting a photograph and then printing it out.  For me, the print always exceeds having an image on a computer screen.  Not only did I make prints, I printed the largest image I have ever printed from my printer.  The photograph looked awesome.

Size does matter!  And bigger is better!  

I can't wait to make more prints, and more bigger ones!  It is going to be a great year!

Cheers,
