I'll tell you what- like many others, I find the turning of the year a good time for reflection, but not necessarily a time for resolutions.
Here's the one thing I'm absolutely sure of- I need to take more photos this year, spend more time in nature, and spend less time in front of this screen.
Here are a few images I made this past year on a trip to Utah, that inspire me and make me a little embarrassed to have spent so much of my useful time and energy on the internet. Time to change things up.
This first one was made on my first evening in the Hanksville area of Southern Utah. Man the colors in this place blow me away!
I spent 6 days touring around this area with a group of old friends and a couple I had never met in person but have chatted with online for years.
This was taken at a pretty remote location that my friend Matt showed me. It's fairly close to the Mars Research Station and it presented a true test to the clearance on my Subaru. I'm proud to say that I made it home with no damage to the car.
This was the last morning on the Factory Butte shelf, an area overlooking a vast landscape of Mars-like structures and gorgeous tones. I'm grateful for my time in this place and it just reminds me to make an effort to go spend time out in nature.
All of the internet cannot compete.
But if you want to see more of my photos....
