2010 Personal Goals (...yeah I'm bloggin it too... you don't have to read it if you don't want to... I totally understand... )

This post is more for personal reference and a declaration so that maybe, maybe I can stick to this.  I have two main goals this year... and they are rather simple...

*ONE*  ...to take a photograph every day.  A 365 project.  My 12 year-old daughter found an "app" for our iPhones called "Project 365".  It's nothing fancy... just a way to organize the photos we take for our 365 project.  We are doing it together.  We remind each other... "did you take your photo today?".  They are all going to be taken with the iPhone camera... mostly because it's ALWAYS with me.  I'm pretty excited about it and think it's awesome that Hannah and I are doing it together.  So far I've taken a photo every day.  Some days they are carefully thought through... some days I say... "Oh crap!  I still need to talk my daily photo!"  :)  Here's a photo from day two...

Morning Coffee... almost gone.


*TWO*  ...to do more creative, personal work.  I spend so much time photographing for other people (which I *love* so much!!), I don't get much time to photograph for myself.  When I first moved to Iowa I was *in love* with all of the wonderful barns scattered everywhere.  For a whole year I shot barns.  I would drag my husband out on a Saturday afternoon and go on a barn hunt.  I would experiment with editing... using more creative techniques.  It fed my right brain.  My right brain is feeling somewhat deprived these days.  So this year it's time to feed the right brain.  Here's one from my barn series (circa 2006)...

Barn, Number 16

If you read this all the way through... thanks!  I wish you all the luck in the world with all of your goals set for 2010.  Take care...
