Today’s image is of a street in Herculaneum, the less well know town that along with Pompeii was also a victim of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. This images was taken in November of 2011, using my Mamiya M645J. Streets and roads evoke images of journeys, so I thought it would be the perfect image for today’s blog post.

This is the 200th post in this blog, and also as we are nearing the end of 2011 it’s a good time to state my photographic goals and resolutions for 2012. Looking back at my 2011 resolutions, I didn’t do too badly; Number 3 is still a work in progress, and number 5 hasn’t happened yet, but I’m sure some day it will.

For 2012, my goals are:

1. Get a handle on the Lith printing process.
2. Complete my Infrared Portrait and Broken projects, plus a project to be named later in the year
3. Improve my Large Format (4×5) camera skills
4. Improve my darkroom print making skills
5. Arrange some kind of show in Toronto

Wish me luck!
