It’s hard to write everything down sometimes.  The small promises you make.  The hopes you list through your head on December 31.  All of the habits you swear have seen their last days.  It’s hard to write it all.  So I did a photo collage for the new year.

I’ll write more about this and the new year later, but this piece, entitled simply 2011 is themed after the things I am committing to this year. The relationships I will strive to continue, build, and improve.  You can see pictures of various friends, family, words, make/shift magazine, even a picture of myself with my camera.

This collage may look like a dreamy memory to you, but I made it for myself and it’s loaded with meaning.  So come mid-Februrary when New Year’s Eve is the last thing on my mind, I can remember all the things and people I saw YES to and what I will throw myself into.

Cheers, 2010.  I’ll never forget you.
