I’m looking forward to a fantastic 2012.

2011 was filled with great client projects that kept me running non-stop through the end of December yet unfortunately the photoblog ended up on the back burner. But not in 2012! (fingers crossed).

The goal is to return to posting visual diary images with much more frequency. Between my iPhone, DSLR, and GoPro I always have a camera with me so it really is a question of pausing, being mindful, and making it happen.

2012 resolution = make it happen.

This is another image from the Maui trip mentioned in yesterday’s photoblog post. It was taken from the summit area at Haleakala.

I’ve decided I really need to start updating the photoblog with a bit more frequency. I’ve been so focused on client projects recently that the blog has fallen to the back burner. I had also thought of writing more articles on web video marketing but have since decided those would be best saved for well-designed PDFs to share with my clients.

A couple months back we had the chance to get out of San Diego for a week in Maui. This image was taken when we visited Haleakala National Park. Volcanic activity formed most of the terrain and the views from the summit are spectacular. The prickly plants in this image are the Haleakala silversword which can only be found in this park.

I think we washed the mouse cord before he stuck it in his mouth. In a few years all cable USB connections will be a thing of the past, right?

I went out to take some street photos on Saturday and came across a group (San Diego Union-Tribune reported 7,000 people) that wasn’t too happy with some of Tuesday’s ballot results.

While taking this pic I was startled by a  woman screaming at me – “did YOU vote against us??!!!“. At first I thought “¿de que hablas y por que me gritas cabrona?”, then I realized she was yelling it at each person as she passed them by in the march.

Signed. Sealed. Delivered.

Second shot of the church in Villa de Santiago. Different angle, different moment.

It’s like a “where’s Wally/Waldo/Walter” for Eden. Can you find each character? Good job! (close up of a sculpture in the Museo del Ojo in Garcia, Nuevo, Leon – about 30 minutes from Monterrey)

Downtown Monterrey. Yes, the city is filled with buses. Just stay out of their way…

Last weekend I took this photo of the church in Villa de Santiago, a little community about 30 minutes from where I live. In 2006 it was named a “pueblo mágico” (magic town) in recognition of its historic preservation.

Today’s image is of a sundial located in the Macroplaza here in Monterrey. We discovered someone forgot to tell the sun to change it’s watch for Daylight Savings Time.

The Museo Metropolitano de Monterrey is one of the few museums here that let you take photos of the exhibitions. This is an image I shot on Saturday of an adding machine that is displayed with other office equipment from the turn of the century (and I am not referring to Y2K).
