I made a New Year's resolution to send letters to friends and family - I figured I'd print my own pictures onto postcard stock, I'm pleased thus far. This is the first batch, I'll have 20 goin' out tomorrow. Flickr people are getting them too:
THEY'RE all gettin one!!!! Who else wants to be popular? C'mon...if nobody pipes up and gives me his/her address, then I'm going to have to hunt you all down and ASK....and then I'll feel like the lonely kid in elementary school who has to ASK his classmates if he can go over to their house to play. That would suck.
I've never sent one of these overseas or out of the country, but I'm more than willing to try. It'd be nice to get a correspondance going with some of you - just for fun - go pick up some postcard stock and do it. You can whore your photography around the country that way....
GIMME ADDRESSES.....whoever you are, I'll send......don't be shy.....
I'm at:
Boss-Master S.M. Bower
60 Clemson Place Circle
Clemson, SC 29631
USA
My biggest resolution would have to be to actually complete a whole 365 day project without giving up, making sure to post a photo everyday, so that I don't get behind as I did my first try around. Other than that, here are a few other things that I would like to resolve to do this year:
1. Work hard on my schoolwork to keep my name up there on the Dean's list and earn that beloved BA in Psychology.
2. To find a job somewhere here in town and still be able to juggle the many things that I need to get done on a daily basis.
3. To make sure that I take some time each for me, so that I don't become overwhelmed and stressed out.
4. I would very much like this to be the year that we move back to my hometown. :o)

Inspired by Lisa Sonora Beam's Goal Setting for Creatives
Everything that followed this mythical phrase I didn’t really understand, but yet I am only at page 31. I have this old print from 1979 with a translation from 1946. The book, once, cost 2500 Lire (ca. 1,25 Euro) which seems to me a lot of money considering it was in 79.
In this moment I have a very confusing impression about Mrs. Dalloway.
2007 resolution #2: Read books considered "Literature"
I already finished some books on my list: In cold blood – To kill a mockingbird – Vanity Fair… After reading a lot of crap in the last years (and still doing it) I decided to “throw in” some books that humanity considers “good Literature”. Mrs. Dalloway is the last one on my list so far (I cancelled “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles. I had it on my list because it was described as “one of the three perfect books of humanity”, but after some lines I understood that it is nothing that you can read in the bus). I couldn’t get over the first 100 pages of Charles Dickens “Great Expectations”. Some suggestions? You are welcome! Please leave out the Russian classics and books that make you feel bad for humanity (I don’t like Kafka, Duerrenmatt and Frisch).
What changes will you commit to this New Year’s to reduce pain, improve concentration or simply live a healthy lifestyle? Have you tried yoga or meditation? #NewYearsResolution
Fashion forward.
Another goal for the year. I want to shoot more fashion this year. I love shooting music and always will, but it's time to break away from it for a bit. I'm sure I'll continue to shoot bands quite a bit, but I want to shoot way more fashion now. I want to build up a legit portfolio 'cause that is exactly where I started from.
Tunage: Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
Now Katy Perry is one person I want to photograph more than anyone else!
I had to buy the book because the public library closed for restorations. (All summer through…*sob*) I started going to libraries when my bookshelf exploded.. I am too attached to things, books in particular. I thought I have to “possess” books, have them always with me. I understood that this is just a distorted way of trying to impress and so I am trying to read without possess. This is the theory so far, but this time I had to buy a book – it’s higher force! :-)
This is why I would like to make this experiment: I will trade! Mrs. Dalloway in Italian (only half-read; second half) for any other book (considered literature) in English, German or Italian. Contact me!
