Hey. Lookey here, still posting and everything!
So, in the midst of trying to set new goals and a few accomplishable (yeah, not a word, I know) projects, I totally pulled a “Kerri,” which is this:
I decided to a Project 365. Familiar? Take a photo every day for a year. Okay, so, I started one of these before. A couple of years ago. I’m not even sure if I made it a week.
If you don’t know me, then you have to know this: I love taking photos. Love it, love it, love it. So, you would think this would not be a big burden, right? Except that there’s me. Me=Kerri. And the thing about Kerri is (and, wow, it sucks more to admit this than I could have imagined) that I’m not so much on finishing things. Yeah, I quit. I can’t say that I know why, other than laziness? That could be it. But, really, I quite often do not finish the things that I start.
However, as I mentioned, I do love taking photos. So, if I’m really going to try to accomplish a goal, I should at least attempt to do it in something I already love, yes? Yes.
So, Project 365. This year. That was one of my goals. January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. I just started reviewing my photos. Guess what? I forgot to take a photo on January 1st.
Yeah, so me.
Anyway, that project will go from January 2, 2010 through January 1, 2011. I’ll be posting all the pics online on a photoblog that I’ll announce soon. I won’t be posting daily, but all of the photos will go up there. 
While I’m at it, here are some of my photographic goals for the year:
1: Complete the year of photos
2: Learn something new about photography in general every week
3: Learn something new about my camera every week
4: Take some kind of lighting class/seminar
5: Participate in a few photo contests. Hmmm….that’s not specific, is it?
5a: Submit photos to at least 5 on-line photo contests this year
5b: Submit photos to at least 3 local photo contests this year
6: Participate in/lead at least 3 local photowalks this year
7: Get my business planned, organized, and going
There you go. That’s me, with plans. Let me know if you’re doing a Project 365 or posting photos. I love to see what others are doing!
It’s motivating to see your plans for this upcoming year… You must be excited about getting your business going in 2010! Nothing like a new decade to create brand new beginnings!

Thanks for visiting.
Still trying to convince myself that plans and goals are good. 
But, yes, very excited. 
Let me know about photowalks. I would very much like to do more of those. I try and do them when I go hiking, but now I have a dog on one arm and a toddler on the other I have found I have to give up something, which is *sigh* not going to be the kid (Wife won’t let me).
I would love to learn more about my camera. I hate that I spent all that money and I use it just as I would an el-cheapo point-click thing. Of course that is just one more thing that I don’t have time to do. Oh, speaking of which, would you like to borrow my Photoshop class in a book? I started it once, but…
Yeah, like you I never fini
Rantz: Heh. Silly man.
Absolutely. I’m thinking a spring, summer, and fall photowalk with a different focal point each time. Any thoughts on interesting places to go? I definitely want to do one downtown.
Do you ever check out DPS? Love that site. So much to learn, and so well taught. http://digital-photography-school.com/
I may borrow that book at some point. Trying to get a good grip on Lightroom first. Thanks.

You sound like me! I’m the queen of unfinished projects. I’m also the queen of procrastination, which is how my Project 365 turned into a Project 361 – I got a late start. Here’s to sticking to our projects in 2011.

Loving your blog. Seems we’ve both found running in the past year, though I seem to enjoy it much less than you.
Yes, here’s to sticking to projects and meeting goals and living life!!! Best to you.
