Today seems as though it should be special. Though, it doesn’t really “feel” special. It’s been kind of an ordinary day if I’m to be honest. But let’s set that aside for a moment. The date is 12/31/23…123123. The last time this happened was 1923. The next will be 2123. Every 100 years. So not likely something I’ll see again in my lifetime.
What does it mean. Well, I have no idea other than it’s cool. I’m not a numerologist. Perhaps it’s the year that monkeys will fly out of my butt. Only time will tell.
Since I didn’t really have full year’s worth of images to sort through (at least not where I was really focused on my craft), it was a bit of a struggle to identify the top 5 that spoke to me the most. I don’t necessarily know that I can quantify my choices. They are what they are. Hopefully they’ll say something to you as well. I’m not posting an any particular order. I’ll let you decide.
I decided to check out the old Farmer’s Almanac to see what it had to say about this unique and rare date.
Number 1 brings the very spark of initiation, 2 focuses on building, and 3 is related to the concept of creation.
I think I like this. It meshes will with the spark of my photography (including the renewed love of film photography). As we turn the page at midnight and head into 2024, I’m looking forward to building my craft and creating more. But I don’t just want to create more, but to create more substance. More depth. More meaning. More introspection. Both for myself and for those that see my work.
Let’s see what happens, 2024.
