Day 12 - How Did I Do?

As I mentioned in my introductory post, life is going to become very busy. I'm starting an exciting new job with travel, hard work, and long hours. I wanted to take advantage of my free time as much as possible by really pushing myself. And that I did.

Here's what I have now that I didn't have before taking this on:

1) 247 new pictures

2) A Flickr set highlighting my favorite work to date

3) Vastly improved macro photography skills

And here's what I learned:

1) I need to continue to push and market my work (more on that this week)

2) I love my least labor-intensive shots (my flowers) - this will always be my strength. Cropping and modifying are not for me, and never will be (but I'll still do it).

3) I never run out of ideas, but I don't need to follow through on all of them at the same time (I still have many ideas for photo shoots).

4) I love my DSLR and am thrilled to have it back, and in working order.

5) I can't take straight shots of cliches. I wish I could, but I'm not inspired. And that's okay.

Time to get excited! My office will be walking distance of this:



and this:



Till tomorrow!
