44 in 365

So, this should have been posted weeks ago, but…it wasn’t and I am ok with that. 2009 was amazing. A great year. A year to remember. I am thankful for my family, friends and clients that helped me to make 2009 so memorable. I know that 2010 is going to blow it out of the water. There are many reasons that I know this. I am revamping my style and really shooting the way that I want to shoot. I am going to work on my Branding and really become the photographer that I want to be, that I am.

There are many things that I would like to do and change. I thought that if I posted it on here I might feel more accountable and actually do some of these things. I also wanted to keep it real and not list 50 things that I really had no intention of doing. So here is my 44 in 365! As I do and complete things listed below, I will update and post images if they apply.
