Question 30: Help the Library write its New Year's Resolutions! "In 2013 we will_______"

I kinda felt like shit today. I felt like shit yesterday, too, but as soon as I started taking pictures my whole aspect switched into Photographer Mode and I didn't feel it until I got home. But then I got home and I felt like shit, so I didn't leave the house.

I ate a fortune cookie, though. It said "Focus on your long term goal. Your wish will be granted next year". So, good excuse for some New Year's Resolutions:

1. Eat a cheeseburger

2. Don't eat so many cheeseburgers.

3. Finish up my Yellow project, for realsies, and put in the effort to get a book printed up.

4. Clear off at least half of my credit card debt.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to focus on a particular field of photography on which I have barely concentrated before: (macro) flower photography. The other New Year's resolution is to make more shots in The Netherlands, most of my inspiration thus far has been whilst travelling. Let's see how strong these commitments are during the year....

Note: does anyone know the name of this particular flower? I'm not so good in determination yet. Probably a crocus?

Made in Cambridge, UK, about a year ago.

MY RESOLUTION IS IMPORTANT AND ACHIEVABLE

i want to fill me WHOLE wall with pictures this year.

(this is a huge wall too..i have over 4ft wide done.. and probably 3 high)

Here are the NEW KNOBS. I chose these are they somewhat replicate a detail on the bottom portion of the wardrobe.

Part of my New Year's Resolutions....to finish all the home projects on my list this year and to recommit myself to photography. I seem to have lost inspiration the latter 1/3 of last year.

In and around Hamworthy on a sunny day with my new lens. All the photos are straight out of the camera, just to see how it performs. I'm really pleased with it and am getting used to the focusing. Hamworthy Poole 29.12.2013

Every year, we host a New Year's Day lunch for my sister-in-law and any of the nieces, nephews and significant others who are in town. After lunch, we always play the resolutions game. The only rule is that you must write resolutions—funny or serious— aimed at anyone in the family, put it in the bowl, and then pick one and read it (but you can't read your own). The results can be hilarious.

Here are some examples from the bowl:

I resolve to ignore all new year's resolutions and bucket lists.

I resolve to swim in a pool of Jello. But only if it's blue Jello.

I will sing every day in 2013.

I resolve to cook and eat spaghetti in a zero gravity environment-- with parmesan cheese.

I resolve to take a photograph a day in 2013. (Bet you can't guess whose resolution that is!)

Have some fun with your New Year's resolutions this year; they may be easier to keep!

Hello 2011!

This year I have made TWO new year resolutions.

NUMBER 1: To be more open to seafood. Yes this may seem silly to some but I usually stay away from most kinds of seafood and feel it’s time to give it a chance. I plan to eat as many kinds of seafood within 2011, starting with crab legs next week!

NUMBER 2: To read and educate myself more on photography. I hope to spend at least 3 hours a week online, at the bookstore or at the library reading up on anything having to do with photography.

From my weekly TGIF blog post: victoriaannephotography.wordpress.com/2010/12/31/tgif-12-...

My new year's resolution is 1680x1050, and when I upgrade my ancient video card I'll use that second monitor on the same desktop.
