Resolutions – The End of The Road

Over the year, I’ve had a list of resolutions, and thought I’d do a quick update before the birthday rears its ugly head in a weeks time, as a kind of progress report.

• Photography
  • Macro Lens – yes
  • Portfolio – working on it as a website
  • Talk to Agents/Publishers – spoke to some photographic publishers, which is why the above item changed.
  • Submit work to various places – started off with ImageKind, but no joy yet.
  • Join local camera/photography club – tried, and it all turned to bollocks
  • Look at potential for “proper” photography qualification – looked at it, but nothing that’s viable for 2006/7 academic year
• Work
  • Get the three main sites up and running– two of three, and other ideas too
  • Make them successful – getting there
  • Keep track of how they do – yes
  • Reassess in Jan 2007 – if they haven’t worked, kill ‘em – moving this to various times in 2007
  • Get more smaller sites done and paid – yep, two so far, and more on the way
• Writing
  • More “proper” writing – it’s starting – nothing publishable yet, but it’s starting
  • Longer pieces for d4d? – no, and that idea is back ‘on hold’
• D4D
  • That bloody sweary filter. – nope
  • Installing WordPress 2.0 – nope, and not going to
  • Photoblogging? – nope, but may come up elsewhere

Thankfully, it actually it looks like I’ve managed to get a fair amount done since the last update back in July. And that’s something I’m pleased about – seeing how little I’d got done by that time was quite demoralising. I knew that the work I was doing at the time, and the influence of Arsehole Boss in general wasn’t helping my motivation one jot, so it’s good to see that moving on work-wise has started having a positive effect on everything again.
