I know I know, I’ve been neglecting this blog something terrible, but I promise I’ve been better at fulfilling orders and wedding albums in the last couple of months! I’d like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2010, and welcome in the new year with some fresh wedding photos from a January 2nd wedding to be posted soon (you may recognize the couple from their engagement session)…but before that, I figured I should share some of my new years resolutions!
Number One…quit neglecting the blog. Yep…this is an important one. Ideally, I’d like to post at least once a week, so that is what I am going to try to stick to. And I’d also like to get weddings on the blog much faster - I’m ashamed to say I still have 8 weddings from 2009 to post, and a couple of autumn engagement sessions. I guess that will make the “once-a-week” posting a bit easier hehehe! :) Now I need to come up with some sort of punishment if I do not post something at least once a week…any ideas?
Number Two…read more. I have a library full of books that have not been read. They range from photography books to geeky computer books to novels. I have this thing where I go to bookstores and buy books but never read them. I’ve imposed a “No more new books until you finish one you have” rule for 2010 - a little motivation for me to get reading!
Number Three…more art besides photography. I believe in art therapy. When I was in high school in college I dabbled in everything - painting, pencil sketching, sculpting, beading, crafts. I used to paint murals, but until recently I had not picked up a paintbrush in years. I just finished painting one of my favorite quotes on my office wall by hand - over 30 hours of work. My next project is going to be crafting a nature scene on my bathroom wall in mosaic glass, or painting a large mural in my stairwell. I haven’t yet decided!
Number Four…hold those who are close to me even closer. :)
Here’s to kicking off a wonderful 2010!
~keep smiling!
