I’m considering some goals for the New Year. Nothing drastic, just some ideas for refinement. Some of them are very similar to things I worked on last year with a few minor changes. Some are brand new.


Resolution has several meanings. In medicine, it refers to the solving of a problem or healing of an issue. The base verb comes from the Latin for “loosen” or “release”, and in chemistry it refers to the action of separating into components. In politics, resolution usually means finding a solution, conclusion or settlement.


In photography, resolution refers to the amount of visible detail in an image. I think I will use this meaning as I form my goals for 2010. There’s always room for better detail. My life has a few areas which I could improve on in big ways and some which would benefit from some close-up attention and fine tuning.


I will begin my examination with a long view and move in with a magnifying glass to assess the resolution of the image of my life. Because sometimes life is in the details.

Nice way to refocus a long tradition. Beautiful eyes on the photo to capture that image as well.
