I know I know, I should write a New Year Resolution on Dec31, but this year I decided to take a look back and write a list of inspiration, people, or places that changed my life in 2012.
So here it is (in random order) :

Mark Twain
Susan Sontag
Berlin
Bob Dylan
Al Green
Fashion History
Historic Costumes
Historic Ornament
Downton Abbey
Brain Pickings
Chuck Close
Louis C.K. (on 3rd season of Louie)
Martin Parr
William Klein
Christopher Hitchens

And I'm not even mentioning people I personally know who were changing my life this year (and every year) every single day.
