Approaching a New Year

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Kolman Rosenberg

Now that the Hanukkah and Christmas seasons are winding down I find myself reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the coming year. When working on photos and this blog, I sit by a window and often gaze out while my mind wanders. Daydreams often lead to new ideas and projects for the coming year(s). This photo reminds me of this activity that takes place sometime almost everyday.

Gazing out the window.

This is not the window I am gazing out but was taken in a restored village in Burton, OH. The glassware and lace curtains attracted my attention with pleasant summer weather outside.

So as I gaze outside today, my mind reviews this past year’s activities, friendships, and family events and I look forward to what the New Year will bring!

About Kolman Rosenberg

My interest in photography began as a college newspaper and yearbook photographer during the stormy 1960s and 1970s. I was influenced by many of the great photojournalists and documentary photographers such as W. Eugene Smith, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, Margaret Bourke-White and other black and white photographers of Life Magazine and the earlier Farm Security Administration. Though many of these photographers documented the horrors of war and the plight of poverty, they also showed me the dignity and adaptability of human beings in their desire to prevail.
