I've started out this new year with a huge "born again" inspiration for photography. It's been a hobby of mine on-and-off for nearly two decades, but only since I got my DSLR in 2006 did it really become a major interest (blame it on no own darkroom and the expenses of developing film). Last summer I joined a couple of photography communities, and during the fall I became gradually more and more sucked in.

Mostly for my own sake:

I've set myself a pretty ambitious resolution this year - getting things done is not excactly something I've been known for during the last few years. So, how am I keeping up after two days?

This year I am actually having some - and I intend to follow through. There's only two:

• GTD
• Wear lipstick every day

Obviously, the first is a _bit_ more complex than the other - but on the upside of things, it will give me an excuse to get a new Moleskine.
