Really, my resolution is to do something every day to improve my photography. But blogging more often should help me keep my resolution. Photography has been a passion of mine since my dad gave me his old silver Pentax SLR when I was a kid. Something you may not know about me...back in high school I had planned to go to college for photography and have always thought about making a living as a photographer. To be honest, I ended up getting my PhD in ecology mostly because I have always liked photographing wild things. My love of nature photography just led me down that path. I often joke that when I retire from my second career as an ecologist I'll become a photographer. So this year, now that I'm no longer working at Rutgers, I decided I would get back to the thing that I have always been so passionate about...photography.
When I was trying to come up with my resolution I thought about things like "make a photograph a day" or "set up a photo website", things like that. Then it hit me...just blog a photo a day. One photograph, a new one made every day. I'm going to try to stick to this, but I may end up cheating a bit at first by posting an old photo now and then (only photos from Italy though). Hopefully you'll enjoy checking our blog for the new photos! The new photos will start once we get back to Italy in a few days.
Here's the first photo for 2014. I shot this at a roadside stream up in the Dolomites a few weeks ago. More photos of the Dolomites to come very soon!
