Wow, we are already halfway through January and I still haven't done a year in review for 2017. Where does the time go? I think I'm still recovering from my Washington vacation. A 24 hour drive with toddlers and pets is no joke! But more on that later.

Right now I want to talk about this past year. 2017 has been a good one. It started with a move to El Paso and ended up being a year of self discovery. This year was focused on personal projects and getting lots of photos of my family- the important stuff!

In terms of personal projects, the highlight of this year for me was learning film. I learned to shoot film in several different formats on several different vintage cameras, and then learned how to process both c41 (color) and black and white film. It definitely didn't turn out great at first, but learning film has been a really fun adventure that I'm excited to continue next year.

I'm not going to make a lot of big resolutions about what 2018 has in store. If I'm perfectly honest, 2018 has started with a decent amount of time spent on the couch, watching movies with family and just being lazy. And I'm ok with that. Everyone always goes into the new year with big plans and they rarely turn out. So instead my plan for the new year is just to go with the flow. I hope to turn out some really cool personal projects this year, spend lots of time with friends and family, read a lot of good books, go on some adventures, and to try new things whenever I can.

Speaking of adventures, I'm planning some awesome road trips this year and I would LOVE recommendations on places I need to see/photograph. Anywhere withing 10ish hours of El Paso is game- little man and I are looking forward to some road trips!
