I currently have the variable `.Params.image` which returns: `"/images/840ef643-14b0-487a-a85c-ca309748cd20.jpeg"`.

I am wanting to resize these images.

I have tried:

```auto
    {{ $image := resources.GetMatch "/images/6ad021e0-90a2-49df-96f6-8c6b55dbb4e2.jpeg" }}
    {{ $thumb := $image.Fill "100x100" }}

```

But this returns the error:

```auto
at <$image.Fill>: nil pointer evaluating resource.Resource.Fill

```

My project structure is:

`static/images/`

Needed to set:

```auto
assetDir = "static"

```

in my config
