108 New Year’s Resolutions; 1-15
Every year for the past four years I’ve set up a huge list of random New Year’s resolutions that I’d like to accomplish. In 2004, my initial year, I made 104 resolutions (and accomplished 84 of them). In 2005 I made 105; in 2006, 106; and in 2007 I got lazy and only made 57. 2007 has been so all over the place for me that I didn’t actually keep track of them though. In 2008 I would like to:
1. keep track of my 2008 New Years resolutions list
2. read 50 books*
3. write a one-sentence review of each book I read to keep track of my books (I plan on keeping a running “tab� on my personal blog with this information on it)
4. read two sci-fi novels*
5. read two fantasy novels*
6. read five biographies*
7. read one self-help book all the way through*
8. take one photograph a day
9. post each photograph to Flickr (as a set, with the date as the title)
10. book one wedding session**
11. book two Senior sessions**
12. book three family sessions**
13. book four one-on-one sessions**
14. learn five new PSP techniques
15. submit one photograph to the Oregon State Fair
*While I’ve bookmarked The Book Stacks here at 451Press, if you have any book recommendations for me, I really appreciate suggestions! I have read TWO science fiction books in my entire life, and while I really enjoyed one of them I’ve never felt compelled to read another. I’ve read some popular fantasy novels (the entire Lord of the Rings series) but other than that, haven’t branched out much. I adore biographies but slacked on them in the last half of this year. I normally give up on self-help books unless they’re really applicable to me so I have to find a good one.
**Obviously I’d like to branch out with my photography. If you are interested in being shot (bang bang!) let me know and I’ll pass my information and rates on to you! I would absolutely be willing to cut you a deal to help my portfolio!

ooh, you want to come up to Seattle sometime in Jan & do a family session with us? Then maybe a follow-up in April once the new bean doesn’t look like a garden gnome anymore?
