Question Weekly Poll: Are you making any photography related New Years resolutions?

Really, it's the last holiday-themed poll for the year

This week, we'd like to know if you're making any photography related resolutions for 2008. It might be to join a threesixtyfive project with self-portraits (or a fiftytwo if you're not so keen to do one every day). It may be to complete a photography project or start a photoblog that you update regularly. It may be to take a picture-a-day of something. Or it may be something else, like winning a photo contest, selling your work, or having your work displayed in a gallery somewhere.

Whatever your resolution is, why not share it with us so that everyone can help you along and see how you do? Tell us if you have a resolution and what it is

Yes, I resolve to post a picture at the top of my blog post every time I blog. I don't blog every day, and my picture won't necessarily be related to my post. But the act of looking for a good picture to post when I do, I think, will make me more mindful of my photography, take pictures more, and sharpen my skills.

Thats my plan for the new yr also, get to grips with photo shop elements, I always open up the program ready for action, then get bogged down by all the "stuff" so I plan to sit down and learn how to us the thing instead of moaning about it,

Default Two main things...

I have decided that I need to learn indoor/studio lighting. I also want to get better at photoshop (using cs3), and using RAW and Bridge. Oh - I guess that I also have it in my mind to upgrade from the Canon Digital Rebel (the original version) to the 40D. Can't wait!

365 for me. We'll see how it goes. I'd also like to sell more photographs. So if anyone wants to help me out with that one...

If you're going to edit, please make your edit private. I don't want my stuff floating around in other people's photostreams.
