Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas

Today I managed to get some shots of the wee ones, though they were mainly snapshots. Though I think they managed to captured the chaos that is Christmas morning (I am so thankful that they calmed down by the afternoon)

Happy Winter Solstice

Happy Winter Solstice.

I have managed to make some progress with my sorting through photographs. I have been through January's pictures and I have managed to get rid of 8GB of photographs.

I still have a lot to do as I need to sort through last years pictures as well.

The big challenge that I need to face is deleting pictures with my wee ones. I have done it before, but now there is a mental block. It will sound silly, but I feel that by deleting pictures with them in, I am not valuing their presence, and by deleting their pictures something bad will happen to them as a result.

For now though as long as I can get rid of the other pictures then that is good enough.

I am also going to start another one object 365 days project. I think this will be great for me as it will get me using my camera ever day and thinking of new photographs that I can get.

I am also thinking of getting a light box as well. I think that will open a lot of possibilities for my photography.

It is the start, but I am really feeling hopeful about getting my mojo back.

Really have to get something done

For various reasons my photography has really taken a back seat. I have been struggling to make any progress.

I really must do something, so the next step is that I really need to set up a plan of action and do something about it.

It really became apparent to me how long my lapse has been when I see what others have achieved when we started off at a similar time. It made me realize that I need to start doing something now instead of just plodding along. I know that I too can achieve, I just need to get the motivation back.

Another thing that I am going to do is go through the photographs that I have taken this year and delete the pictures that are not good enough and do something with the ones that are.
