Hey everyone! Its 2007 and first and foremost I would like to say, I resolve to blog more often! 
Since its a new year and all, I decided to make a slideshow of some of my favorite photographic moments of 2006. I always like to review where I’ve been and make a plan on where I’m going. Watching this slideshow helped me to see where I’ve been in my photography and where I want to go now…..I took a nature and wildlife photography class in the fall and really enjoyed it. I LOVE weddings but I don’t take much time to shoot just for me. I actually had to take a class to force me to! So that brings me to another of my resolutions…..shoot more for fun! I resolve to resurrect my holga and even shoot some film! (I hear the gasps….I know….lol)
2006 was a great year of learning for me. As most of you know, I decided to go back to school to pursue my passion in 2004. But school isn’t the only place you can learn! I hooked up with a really awesome local wedding photographer and shooting with her has opened my eyes to some things I’ve never seen before. Working with other creative minds is a fantastic thing! After all, its said that “You are the company you keep!” I also was directed to a wonderful online community of photographers, which I now hold very dear. I’ve learned a lot on this wonderful forum and will hopefully be meeting some of you very soon, in Philly in April!!
2006 has taught me that I can do anything that I put my mind to. My decision to pursue my passion for the camera, has led me to great things and I know it will only get better from here! While there were some rough times (working full time, going to school full time and trying to grow a photography business ALL at the same time!), I made it through! My drive and passion for this industry and to make a life built around what I love is enough to maintain the strength to weather the hard times until the good times get only better.
So for anyone out there who has a dream like mine….GO FOR IT! For the rest of you……here’s the slideshow.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I think 2007 is going to be a fantastic year!
xoxo, Misty
