Happy New Year!

As I've gotten older, I've realized that New Year's Resolutions don't work for me. I think it's too much pressure to put on yourself for a whole year. Let's just take things one day at a time, shall we?

I do like the idea of fresh starts. Of changing something that needs changing, improving things that could use improving. I just think you can do that whenever you get the urge. Doesn't necessarily have to be in January. But, in the spirit of tradition...

I would like to try to make more posts this year than last. It's hard, though. These things take time and that's the one thing I don't really have a lot of. I've been shooting a lot, I just haven't updated the blahhg. But I would like to be better about that.

I started this thing as basically, a place to showcase the images I shoot, but it became more than that for me. It became sort of a constant reminder for me to push myself creatively and to hone my skills. It became, in it's own way, a source of inspiration for me. And then I began to neglect it. Which, in a way, is just neglecting myself. Deep thoughts by Christy B....

So, on that note, here is a funny image of a giraffe to lighten the mood. It's my personal belief that life should be filled with levity and laughter. It's too short to take too seriously.

And here is a shot of an alpaca with bad teeth. Just for good measure.
