I know I’m supposed to post some sort of big “The Year in Repose” blog, but fact is that I am either too busy or too lazy to undertake a post like that in sufficient manner. I will say, though, that 2011, despite all its horrible flaws (the Japanese hold a special place in my prayers), was a year of personal growth and much, much change – most of which was for the better. So I guess it was pretty much a successful year, right?

And thus, in the place of an extensive end-of-the-last-year, beginning-of-the-new-one type-post, here are a few pictures that I’m pretty fond of. I was able to meet Karsyn DeGast somewhat randomly during my recent trip to New York thanks to Nicole Loher and Twitter. We spent an afternoon drinking coffee and taking pictures. Not much more else to say (except maybe that Karsyn bears a pretty uncanny resemblance to This Person).

I hope you all had a really great and memorable New Years. Now, upwards and onwards. Excelsior!
