:: photos from new year's eve 2012 ::

pretty sweet evening with friendly friends congregating in montclair, new jersey coming from as far as d.c., virginia, philly, chicago, indiana, toronto, and the u.k.

i am reminding that when we have nights like these to make lifetime memories we need to thank those around us for their shared friendship and love because as we have recently learned, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. so, thank you from me and polly to all of those who traveled for this gathering and those of you who wanted to and lived vicariously through texts, twitter, facebook, or whatever.

here is what came out of my new camera i was trying out for the first time (sorry if i did not get everyone in these, i was battling focus issues and learning on the fly!).

Rich,

Your photos are amazing - how you managed to take so many great ones given that the place was so awash with alcohol is beyond me.

I have just about managed to recover from one of the biggest hangovers of my entire life, but only after going to bed at 6pm last night and sleeping through until 7am.

You re of course quite right in all that you say about unforgettable memories and wonderful people. When back in the UK tomorrow, I will get round to emailing everyone individually but for the moment a sincere and humble thanks to you all will have to suffice.
