Kicking '09 to the curb

2009 sucked, there's no getting past it. So in the tradition of the human animal thinking that round numbers and arbitrary dates on the calendar are suffused with importance, I'm taking this opportunity to navel-gaze just a bit and kick the bad crap in the ass. And in the process I hope to kick-start something better and move forward with it. So I went down to Sunset Cliffs for the last sundown of the year and saw some cool stuff that I thought I'd share, by way of saying here's to a better new year for all of us. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to read my thoughts or look at my photos over the past year (even if you were brought here because I had the phrase "secret Canon 7D Accessories" in a post - that one's still getting so many hits it's the #1 result in Google, who friggin' knew?). I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2010.
A guy was jumping for photos at the cliffs as the sun set.

Coming in from the last session of the year. And this was the last frame I made this year (unless I take some photos before midnight - always a possibility!) Drive safe, kids.

Thank you, Ken! I hope your new year is happy and healthy - and a lot more stable and rewarding than '09.

Dave, I think the first sentence of your post might be the most uttered phrase of the past two days. I see it everywhere -- and of course there's the echo in my head. Thanks for the pix, and I sincerely hope 2010 will be a (more) happy and fulfilling year. If this decade taught me anything, it was not to ask, "How could it get worse?"

Time for a GOOD year, 'eh DP!?

Bring it on.

Love the pix, thank you for sharing your talent.

Gotta give you your Chicago shwag one of these daze, btw.

You're one of my fave MOTs - thank you for being such a smart and funny friend!
