Reflect 2009 then act on 2010
By Chris | December 31, 2009
Yup, it’s that time of year again. Christmas is over and now the beginning of a new year. Once the climax of Christmas has worn off, we get a chance to reflect on our year. We think about what goals that we set out to hit and the ones we missed. Did we lose the extra weight we had promised to last year? Did we make a career move? Did we take take a workshop, course, or on-line learning subscription?
It not matter too much if we achieved our goals that we set last year, as long as we made some sort of progress toward our goals. For us non-vocational photographers sometimes our vocation takes time away from our hobby, as it did this year for me. Some times life just gets in the way of our passion.
As I reflect on 2009, my photographic shooting life has been slow. I had not shot as many photo’s as I should have or could have. On the other hand, I made an effort to connect with other photogs through social media. Also, I went on a few photo walks with others and had a fun time while creating some decent images. Connecting with other photographers, as I am finding out, is important. We can learn, network, share, and inspire each other. We photo-holics need this.
In 2010, I want to keep the goals simple and well within reach. I am not on some sort of fast track program to full-time vocational photographer. This is not my goal. Therefore, I can take my sweet time and enjoy the process. As long as I make progress, improve on technical skill, get some art on my walls, and have a good time with my creative outlet… that is all that matters.

Happy New Year, All!
Shoot like hell in 2010!
