My Only New Year Resolution

Use my Nikon DSLR more!!

My Uncle Ed was a professional photographer and I just know he is looking down from heaven shaking his head at me every time I snap a picture with my iPhone when just a few feet away from me my Nikon sits collecting dust.

Ever since I got my Nikon I only break it out for special occasions and this year that is gonna stop. I am going to take more pictures with it and really learn my camera settings better. So I think I might start a Project 365 where I take a photo a day with it. (I missed yesterday but we will just pretend I didn’t!) I plan to post them here either daily or a collage of what I have taken weekly.

Our phones are just soo convenient but I have to break this habit!!

So what is your New Year Resolution?

To Resolve or not

I know I am late to the party on this one, but I am putting out there anyway.  Did you make a New Year's Resolution?

I have been reading around the blogosphere and some do, some don't and some think the whole thing is silly.  I for one kind of lean toward the whole thing is silly.

I kinda feel the word Resolution is setting you up for failure because of the huge amount of pressure you put on yourself.  The word goal seems like it would not be as much pressure.  Or maybe I will  just go with the flow and just see what life throws at me.

Yeah I like that idea.  Cause you know what they say "If you want to make God laugh tell him about your plans."

I told my sis-n-law Patrice that I am just hoping that 2012 is the year of feeling better and doing better.  Yep that pretty much sums up my goals for the year & I will also be living by this motto my friend Diane posted on FB the other day

And live by all things Maxine
