No, I don't have the Chinese years mixed up. I know it is the year of the Monkey in the Chinese Zodiac, but my year in the Chinese Zodiac is the Year of the Dog and that does not come up until 2018. So this year, it came to me that one of my Chinese friends had allowed me to take a picture of his hat when I was doing textures earlier last summer. Today, a fisherman, who happened to also be Chinese, was wearing a like-fashion hat. Having a bit of fun, I said that I would take a picture of 'that' hat. He agreed and I got the shot.
Later, thinking about the other hat and then this hat, since my Chinese Zodiac year isn't until 2018, I'd make this year, by proxy, the year of the hat(s). Already it's off to a good start with two hats and I've got the rest of this year and all of 2017 to find 10 more. Then, when the Year of the Dog arrives, I'll have a calendar of hats for each month of the year!
