Photography
Cameras bought (and used):
Polaroid SX-70 (until I broke it)
2 plasticky junky things from the thrift store
Lomo SuperSampler
1961 Canonet rangefinder
Polaroid OneStep from the thrift store

Delighted that my photography actually took off this year; excited about Gallery-worthy and marketable work.

Writing
Every day. I received the best compliment this year: "Have you ever tried getting this published?" From my mother.

Friends
I enjoy the people I have in my life right now. It was fun seeing old friends and getting re-acquainted with family; we'll see what the next year brings!

Family
We've all grown up and we know it.

Work
New job started in October. Whoa.

Via Chicago.

Like everyone else, I got stranded in Chicago Wednesday night on my way back from Oklahoma. Thankfully, I was able to stay with an old friend from high school (hooray bed!).

Here's my end-of-the-year portrait.

More to come later for my 2007 Wrap-Up. Why do I do wrap up posts? I don't know; maybe I like lists.

*Annual tradition as of last year.
