(december, christmas eve)
Man, picking just eighteen photos from the whole year was challenging, but I'm glad I have a collection of my very favorites now. I've grown so much in my photography this past year. A year ago, I knew I was interesting in taking pictures, but I just had a point and shoot and barely knew anything. Now, a year later, I have a DSLR and have learned so, so much more.
My photography goals for this year are:
-get another lens (preferably a 35mm)
-start selling my photos
-do some more portrait sessions
-assist a professional photographer during a shoot or two
-learn more about editing
-learn more about posing
-finally get a camera bag
I realize some of these are pretty tall orders, but I'm going to see what I can do this year :)
What are some of your goals for 2011?
Happy New Year!

Wonderful photos! You truly are a talented photographer :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't really thought about goals for this year, but if I did really think about it, they would probably be too private to share on a blog.

ReplyDeleteI'm finding myself at a similar place -- my camera skills have improved a lot this past year. I'd love to hear how you plan to sell photos and how you get clients for shoots. Thanks!
