2009 resolution

I will try to post something in here everyday (starting today) or at least 5x a week. I will also try to improve my skills (or lack of) in photography. I just bought a polarizing filter for my EOS50D which is a necessity if you live in sunny Southern California. I’ve been reading the Scott Kelby photography books Mom got me for Christmas too!

I still want to continue with 2008’s staying “green” resolution though. I find it’s become a way of life for me. I shiver when people use paper towels to dry their hands in their own homes. That’s what towels are for! I also cringe when I see someone ask for a bag when they are buying one very easy-to-carry item. Josh says I’m “smug” just like the South Park episode mocking San Francisco. But that’s fine with me. I’ll be “smug” and raise awareness about how easy it is to just say no… to plastic! I am perfectly capable of carrying this single bottle of shampoo to my car and then into my house without a plastic bag. I recycle every box a product comes in rather than tossing it into the trash. I tried biodegradable trash bags but they just tear way too quickly… Not sure if a durable biodegradable trash bag exists.  On garbage day, my neighbor and I have recycle cans that are way more full than trash cans. That’s cool
