What I need to work on in 2009.
PS: The mind mapping tool used here is Novamind Platinum - a great tool that I would have no problem recommending to anyone.

Day 190 of 365 (Tuesday) - A friend of mine gave me first refusal on a 28mm lens he was selling (an equivalent of 45mm on my camera body), to help me move on from my 50mm (an equivalent of 85mm on mine - which I have only recently discovered!). Today was my first trip out with it. I wanted to know whether it would still be possible to take close up pictures if I wanted to, so challenged myself to see how close I could get with it today. This image is the closest candid I managed. After much deliberation over the past few days, and the test run today, I decided to give myself an early Christmas and birthday present, and get the lens. It will be a challenge, but interesting to shoot with something new.
One of my top resolutions: Shoot more. Learn more about the art and discipline of photography. The book in the background is Visionmongers... I HIGHLY recommend it.

New Years resolution is to be more positive and happier this year. I'm constantly thinking negatively, surrounded by negative thinking people. Even writing the 1st draft of this comment I was sarcastic.
So on a positive note I'm going to remember what I have got going for me:
Photography skills, I'm young still, I don't give up without a fight, I have amazing friends
and well I have flickr which understands my passion for photography :P

credo negli organi genitali degli uomini e delle donne importanti, nelle posture di Ronald Reagan, di Margaret Thatcher e della principessa Diana, negli odori dolciastri emessi dalle loro labbra mentre fissano le telecamere di tutto il mondo.
For the Macro Mondays group theme "New Year's resolutions"...
I really should drink more water - Ronnie and Reggie would appreciate it.
In hospital a few years ago, suffering with kidney stones and septicaemia, I named my irksome kidneys the Evil Twins. I was told I could be prone to further stones if I didn't drink more fluids, but I still find it difficult to down the recommended amount!
In 2024 I decided to set a running goal of 1 mile/day and while I adjusted it over time to be 31 miles per month and then to 366 miles for the year to accommodate for my pressure/weather/air quality related headaches and general sadness. As of yesterday's run I logged 406 miles for the year, 40 miles over my initial goal!
I'm really proud of myself and excited to see what I can accomplish next year.
(The lighting was off in both of these because northern east coast US winter grey skies and all, we don't get a ton of sun or light till Spring so stick with me if things seem over exposed or overly saturated when it comes to things like this.)
