As a general rule I don't make resolutions each January. In fact, I don't think I've every made one before in my life. However, this year I'm at least setting myself a goal, or a project. Since I frequently catch myself spending prolonged periods of time playing games on my iPhone and reading - consuming - and often feel that I am not creating very much, I'm going to attempt a creative 365 project. That is to say, one creation per day, everyday, for 2011. A this stage I'm thinking that this will either take the form of a photo or a poem (at least a haiku) per day. I'll upload them piecemeal as I get time.
(Incidentally, if you want to see some really good photographic 365 projects, head over to Flickr and search for 365. You will find some people with real talent and, equally impressive, commitment.)
So here are two haiku (because I am too lazy to start with anything harder). I suspect that there is something rather wanky about taking haiku seriously. On the upside, only one of these can really be accused of that.
