Me and Mom, 1980 | Portland, OR

Man I was just fishing around my flickr account to try to find a picture that could be posted here as my ‘favorite photo of 2009’ and then it dawned on me. ‘Duh, numbnuts.’ I know I’ve posted this before and you’re all probably kind of sick of it by now but c’mon, how precious is this photo of my Mother and me? If you answered ‘pretty precious’ you greatly underestimated. This is family heirloom shit, in digital format.

Anyhoo, I should thank you all for the kind words and the love you’ve given me and this story. It’s been a pretty great year, and my first full calendar year away from home. San Francisco has opened many a door for me and I’ve been lucky enough to make a few new friends, with some of you even. IN REAL LIFE.

I look forward to 2010 though I’m not entirely sure the distinction between today and tomorrow will be that great. I’m not one for resolutions, at least not on the new year. Being you should be a full-time gig so make your resolutions on an as-needed basis. Mostly, I’m looking forward to Saturday when I get to take a photographer I respect and admire (and one whose photos you’ve all seen and loved) on a photo taking mission.

Rambling. Holla.
