I once had a friend, now passed away, who would periodically announce a new photography project he was about to launch - - exploring a new subject, a new publication, a new website, and very often a new book he was going to write. He was perennially filled with enthusiasm, but almost never with commitment. His pronouncements were like New Year's resolutions; he'd be on fire with the idea for a week or two and then we'd never hear about it again.
