Happy New Year

Yes, my first resolution will be to blog a little more. Who knows what great thoughts I'm forgetting by not jotting them down. I've been thinking about other resolutions for 2009. Here are a few objectives:

1. As stated, blog more - both on personal reflections of life and photography, and in our family blog.   Little Shelby is growing so fast and while I'm not worried about a shortage of photos, capturing events and observations that might not photograph well is something that I want to do this year.  
2. Save a little more, spend a little less.
3. Begin some serious photography marketing.  I've been able to build a great arsenal of gear (hence #2), and there's no excuse not to make a few dollars on the side.   Last year I did 2 weddings for hire.  This year my goal is as least 5 paid gigs even if they're small.
4. Read some good parenting books.  I've survived so far with just a couple books and good instincts, but there's no reason not to study up.   It's a small investment with a huge payoff.
5. Push myself at work.  

And those are my resolutions for the year...   I'll check back in mid year to see how I've done.
