the year of the dragon

the lunar new year

     another chance at a new beginning in the chinese calendar.   the year of the dragon:
a celebration, a challenge, something exotic, an obstacle, an icon ...

my "dragons" for this year are: to celebrate myself as an artist and be confident in the eye i have for capturing something beautiful and intriguing;

to challenge myself to master a new aspect of photography, and to break some of my own rules; (also to triumph in the rules i've bent or created that i think work!) 

 

 to overcome my fear of self promotion (ugh!);

 

   to delight in the people i've met - and keep encountering - as inspirations, muses, supporters and teachers;

to be open to new ideas and subjects (tho there's not much i'm not drawn to)

                                                                             what are your dragons?

                                                                             kung hei fat choi!

happy new year's resolutions! (or words to live by)

                                                             kindness is contagious

                                                    life comes from you, not at you

                                                (my mantra, imparted from a favorite yoga teacher early last year)    

                                           look at all the life and love coming from each of these faces

                                       

     kindness is contagious; such a nice thing to spread this year
