New Year's Resolutions

[runnah]

To git with alla hotties from TPF

I am flattered but sadly I am off the market.

 

[Compaq]

Ohh, and develop even more films, clean the darkroom, become better at printing, read more books, especially classics. C. Dickens's "Great Expectations" soon arriving in the mail. Ohh, and build sailing ship models from kits!

I actually made a resolution this year for the first time. And I really can't afford to break this one, so we'll see...

My resolution was to hit the ground running once we get into Nashville. We're going to need to get "day jobs" right away, but if I end up having to get another FT job right away, vs. some sort of part-time deal... I promised myself I would not become "comfortable" in my FT job. But my goal is to not have to get a full-time job... I'm trying to talk with a guy who owns a studio and apparently has a high turn-over rate for assistants and what not, so if I can get in there, and get a PT job and keep my other PT photography contracting whatever you wanna call it, that'd be fabulous.

BUT EITHER WAY... the condensed version is: I wanna get to Nashville, I don't want to settle, I want to network my ass off... WORK my ass off... and make something HAPPEN sooner than later.

Stick to your guns, girl, and I have no doubt you will make it happen. Sometimes we HAVE to settle to survive, but resist as long as possible! This guy probably has high turnover because he is *difficult* on many levels.... ....but if you are prepared to deal with it going in, then I figure you're ahead. Best of luck!!

What New Year's Resolution are you going to make and break this year?!!:lmao:

No more duplicate threads!

I don't think he's "difficult" per say... a really good friend recommended that I speak with him. She used to work with him. If he were difficult, I'm not sure that she'd give me that advice, haha. But we'll see! Even if he is "difficult", I'll stick it out as long as I can until Keith and I are more settled and I've networked with a few other people and then I'll move on. :lmao:

Buckster, I'm not aware of a middle ground on the pot thing...

Hmmm maybe make an effort to post a picture of myself on TPF forum. Finally squat 625, bench 450, dead lift 525 this year Oo.

(Scratches his head) Oo.

I haven't really made resolutions for a number of years -- I got tired of breaking them! However:

I did join a gym three weeks ago and have been easing into a routine; just the treadmill so far, though I've started on some weights.
I will spend less time in front of the laptop and more behind the camera - maybe even try shooting a few people for a change.
I am supposed to start a new job soon, when all of the paperwork is finished.

PM me you need a little help with a workout routine.

PM me you need a little help with a workout routine.

I've got a trainer/consultant at the gym, but I may drop you a line for alternatives.

Keep in shape!! Do another round of Insanity and try this....

I'm *already* in shape--it's just not a shape fitness gurus aspire to. :lmao:

I enjoy food and alcohol too much. I need to workout!

This year my resolution is to take more photos and find my artistic direction in photography. I have an idea where I want to go but still need a lot of work.

 

[sm4him]

Okay, serious goals for this year:

1. Sell at least twice as much photography this year as last. (Shouldn't be TOO hard; I only sold about four photos last year, lol)
2. Practice portrait photography so that it at least doesn't give me the heebie-jeebies to photograph people.
3. Improve my "favorite" photography areas: macro (esp. insects), abstract, birds. I'd like to work my way up past mediocre someday.
4. Take the trip to Ohio I've tried to plan for two years now--I'd really like to do this while my mom is still alive and active enough to enjoy it (the trip would be to Hardin County and nearby area to do some genealogy research and possibly even meet a few McElroys or McCulloughs there that we would be related to, with GREAT luck maybe some that would remember my grandfather's family).
5. Do more speaking for women's retreats and events. While I LOVE photography, in my heart I know it's not supposed to be my JOB, it's just something I enjoy doing. But women's ministry speaking is what I was called to do, and I've felt more and more these past two years the need to pursue it to a greater extent. And yes--some of you end up in some of the things I write and speak about. I try to weave interesting stories and humorous illustrations into my talks, and TPF is just rife with material!
