While this blog has been very hit or miss—mostly miss—for me, I'm not ready to give up on it yet. So with a new year, new focus, and new directions for my photography and video, it's time to hit the reset button on this blog. I'll be rolling out more of my work, thoughts, and initiatives over the coming weeks and months, but to kick things off I am posting the wallpaper for January 2012.

For this month's wallpaper, I'm pulling out an old photo, taken at Rocky Mountain National Park. It could be argued that with a fresh start on the blog should come a new image. But over the past few weeks I have been busy with family visits and a surprise allergy attack (our new dog came and went rather quickly...I've spent most of my life with dogs, but apparently I am allergic to Australian Shepherd–Yellow Lab mixes), so new images have been scarce...unless you want photos of my family on your computer screen.

Device-specific files are available after the jump.

This wallpaper will do just fine up to a 17" Macbook Pro, although it doesn't look too shabby on a 27" iMac either. Click on the image above to access the larger file.

I am in the process of exploring new ways to share my work with a larger audience, and I figured posting a monthly wallpaper would be a fun way to do that. So, I present to you my inaugural wallpaper for October, 2011.

I'll share the story behind the image after the jump.
