failed resolutions
So it's the sixth day of the New Year; how are your resolutions going? I don't know if it qualifies as a resolution or not, but I decided that I was going to do one of those take-a-picture every day type of thing for 2011. I love my pictures, so it sounded like a great idea. Now I'd have a legitimate excuse to take even more pictures. And while I have taken a whole lot already, I did not take one yesterday. And on Monday, I took a random picture when I normally wouldn't have, just to say I took one. So I'm giving up on the one-a-day picture taking goal. I like to think it's not because I failed, but because I consciously chose to quit. You see, I take too many pictures as it is. I know this and I will admit it. So the last thing I need is to feel like I need to take even more. If anything, I need to be taking fewer pictures. (insert an "Amen" from my hubby here) :) Too many pictures not only distract me from enjoying the moments as they happen, but they can be overwhelming too. When I have too many pictures of an event, I find it hard to pick out and appreciate the best ones. So I'm also working on being better about deleting not-so-good pictures as I upload them and only keeping and posting the best ones. Thus, I think I will break my resolution and see how it goes. Don't you worry, I'll still take bunches of photos this year and still be the unofficial photographer when we all hang out. I'm just going to try to be better about taking just a couple of pictures and then putting away the camera. And now that I have such a cool and TINY camera, it'll be real easy to keep it hidden away in my pocket. So good luck, or in my case maybe not, with your resolutions! Happy New Year's everyone!
