2006 Resolutions
Posted: Sun 1 January, 2006 Filed under: 2006 Resolutions 2 Comments »Well, last year I did a bundle of resolutions and things, and got about half of them done. These are the ones that remain…
- Making a photo portfolio, and taking it to a couple of agents, seeing how I do
- Doing a few more bits of proper writing
- Taking time out, and not running round like quite such a silly bastard
- Enjoying life in its new facets
So – they’re still going to be in for the ’06 list. However, rather than having them as resolutions per se, I’m going to have it as more of a to-do list this year, I think. (for ease of reference though, I’m still going to keep it under the ‘resolutions’ category.) That way I can also have some categories within it and so on, which seems sensible in some strange way. So, for now, the list is as follows…
- Photography
- Macro Lens
- Portfolio
- Talk to Agents
- Submit work to various places
- Join local camera/photography club
- Look at potential for “proper” photography qualification
- Work
- Get the three main sites up and running
- Make them successful
- Keep track of how they do
- Reassess in Jan 2007 – if they haven’t worked, kill ’em
- Get more smaller sites done and paid
- Writing
- More “proper” writing
- Longer pieces for d4d?
- D4D
- That bloody sweary filter.
- Installing WordPress 2.0
- Photoblogging?
I should put “install WordPress 2” on my resolutions list too – because there’s a good chance of actually getting that one done.
(I make a local copy of my blog yesterday and installed it on that, and there didn’t seem to be any change to any of the public pages. So maybe it’s safe to do it for real…)
Well, if a total novice (okay, not “total”, but by comparison to many, a mere beginner) managed it pretty much fine, then I’d say it’s safe to do so.
There’s one or two little niggles – like the one I had with photo uploading – but nothing that a good search on the WordPress Forums won’t sort out.
