My plans for 2011:
1. Don't buy more cameras.
2. Like AzPete....though I have to get started. I'm thinking I'd like to get a photoblog started and maintain it with, at minimum, a photo entry every week. I started a few photo-a-day challenges on another brand forum - it was a great way to get me out shooting rather than behind the computer drooling at the next bit of kit I need. Yeah the blog might have a readership of one - thanks Mum! - but it will at least hold me to account as I start moving more towards telling stories with my photos and really concentrating on themes with my work. Otherwise I fear another year of "oh look shiny thing, where's my camera...or credit card".
3. Don't buy more cameras.
4. Also been thinking about shooting a potential photobook covering the character and characters of a very small country town 'down the road' from my property. Something like a People and Place thing. The idea being I'll take the photos and my better half can deal with the text and the people....she's got the charm and a face that people don't baulk at if spoken to
...mine's best situated behind a camera - that's the only advantage with the dSLR...more room to hide.
5. Don't buy more cameras.
6. Finally, living rural means I don't get to shoot much street. This is odd because it is one of my favourite genres to look at. So I want to take the camera to work more often and use a decent break during the day to hit the town on a regular basis. Problem here is lunch is a good time for people but an awful time for light.
7. Well this is the final one. Don't buy more cameras....I really do need to repeat it. I'm thinking if I make it a mantra then it might just stick!
