Roman Forum, Rome

Roman Forum, Rome

There’s nothing like pictures of an Empire long gone to usher in the new year.  This was taken at the entrance to the Roman Forum.

Since it’s the first day of the new year, I have a few photographic New Years Resolutions I thought I should share with you all. The general idea is that if I post them here, someone may hold me to account when I start to waver!

So, in no particular order:

  1. Visit at least one new country in 2011. I’ve been doing well on this one since 2007, so hopefully this year won’t break the trend!
  2. Work on at least one long-term photographic project over 2011. I’ve got a bunch of ideas, now I just need to put them into action… easier said than done.
  3. Post at least 5 days a week here on Journey Photographic. As part of the inspirational PostADay/PostAWeek community, I’ve committed to 5 posts a week. We’ll see how that goes.

Anyone else got any photographic New Years Resolutions they’d care to share?

Man and Dog, Rome

Man and Dog, Rome

We were on a walking tour of Rome, making our way through the old Jewish Ghetto, when I saw this man and dog staring intently into the distance. Every time I see this picture I wonder what caught their attention so completely.

Tour Guide, Pompeii

Shadow of a Tour Guide, Pompeii

We visited Pompeii on a brilliant, sunny day, with not a cloud in the sky. Every tour guide there was carrying an umbrella, doing double duty as a rallying point as well as a welcome source of shade.
