The end of another year is upon us, and I stand in awe of how quickly time flies. Hopefully your holiday season is filled with happiness and satisfaction when you look back on 2011. Our house is filled with family right now, and a 3-year-old who is very excited about having Grandma and Grandpa here for a visit, so I’ll probably be pretty quiet on the blog until after the new year. Looking back, though, I am very grateful for this blog, because of all the repeated visitors who have become good friends, and the new visitors, who I hope will become friends in 2012.
Some posts on this blog generated some great discussion in 2011:
- (Re)alignment
- An Honest Silence
- In Memoriam
- The Need for Wilderness
- Little Mentors
- Make Your Own Tripod Tracks, an essay by David Leland Hyde
To end 2011 on a very happy note, I received word the other day that one of my images (below) was accepted to Yosemite Renaissance 27, a juried exhibit that will be on display in Yosemite Valley from February 24-May 6. Mine was one of 48 pieces selected for the exhibit out of almost 700 entries–I’m very proud and happy to have my work displayed in this exhibit.
High Sierra Reflection, September 2010
I sincerely hope you have a great holiday season, and a wonderful start to 2012! I am looking forward to seeing where the new year takes us…
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Thanks, Derrick! Same to you! Hope you have a great end of 2011 and beginning to 2012…
Congratulations Greg on the inclusion to the exhibit. A very deserving photo. Beautiful abstract image.
Here’s wishing you and yours a safe and happy holiday season. And yes indeed — let’s see where the next year takes us…
Many thanks, PJ. I appreciate it.
I’ll be in touch in January if not before…lots of ideas rocking around in my head…
Congratulations! That’s awesome!
Do I see a weekend trip to Yosemite coming up in early 2012?
Thanks, Marc!
Yep, the room is already booked. 🙂
Hi Greg:
Looks like you need to fix your ‘In Memoriam’ link.
Congrats on YR! I keep forgetting to enter and missed again this year. I had something in YR25, I believe (along with M. Frye, W. Neill, D. Baumbach).
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too, Michael, and thank you for the congratulations!
I fixed the link; thanks for pointing that out!

Season’s best and a prolific new year to you, Greg. Thanks for our association and friendship.
Same to you David–I also appreciate our friendship, and the great conversation that come out of our recent cross-post. Looking forward to talking with you more in 2012 about “vision” and voice…

Happy Holidays Greg to you and the family. Congratulations on being selected for the exhibit. It’s a lovely image.
I hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you with lots of great photo opportunities and a boatload of self-motivated smart students. 🙂
I hope to see you this summer.
Thanks so much, Steve, I appreciate it!
I will keep my fingers crossed that your well wishes come true for 2012!! 🙂
Yes, I hope this summer works out…we’ll get it figured out for sure…
