My New Year’s Resolution

I think everyone starts off their new year making a list of resolutions and I also follow that long held tradition.  Though I tend to think of my resolutions as goals and make them positive.  So here are my resolutions (goals) for this year.

  • Blog more.  I haven’t blogged much and I really don’t have any good reason not to.  I am hoping by sharing my experiences others can benefit.
  • Take more pictures. I see a lot of opportunities for great pictures but don’t always take the time.  If I look at my trend over the year,  I take a lot of pictures during the sports seasons of Spring and Fall but not in the Winter or the Summer.
  • Print more pictures.  I never seem to get to the final complete version of the picture.  I find myself always going back and tweaking the picture.  I want it to be perfect.  I am going to have to convince myself there is no perfect image and print the darn image.  Also printing gives you an opportunity to study the image and think about how you can improve future images.
  • Participate in Forums.  Getting feedback on your images is the best way to improve as a photographer.
  • Stock or Microstock?  Might be a possibility this year.  I have read and researched stock photography.  A lot of changes have occurred in this market.  I am not sure the effort vs. reward is there for me but it would be nice to make a profit to justify buying new photo equipment.
  • Have Fun!

You really can’t beat free. Just don’t go overboard on adding tons of random pictures to your posts now that you have access to them. Make sure they’re all relevant and add value.
