When it came to form a New Year's Resolution this year, I decided to push my creativity and love of photography into a place where I could capture the innocence of human emotion and the beauty of natural environment. The purpose of this blog allows me a focus everyday whether it be, elegance, contrast, tranquility, or a hundred other qualities in what might be just an ordinary day. It should make for an extraordinary year.

Walking though the print shop I came across this very interesting lunch box. It's a vintage box that belongs to one of the press man. He carries it with him each day to work. He mentioned that it once was his Dad lunch box.
