My New Years Resolution...

               Usually the beginning of a new year reminds me of how little I accomplished in the previous year and results in me creating unrealistic goals for the year ahead. So this year I decided to switch it up a little and create a realistic goal for myself. But before I get into what that is, and how this blog came about, I should probably give you some background information on myself. 

              One of the things you need to know about me is that I love art. No matter what form that art is in, music, acting, painting, drawing, or photography. My Dad was an art teacher so I grew up with an art studio in my basement and was always surrounded with Prismacolors and paper. As a result of this, from a young age I started drawing and painting and appreciating all of the art around us that is usually taken for granted. Throughout my life up to now I have appreciated and cherished this. 

              Another thing I cherish is my camera. I have had about three cameras so far, not counting the disposable cameras I got when we took vacations when I was little because my parents didn't trust me with a real thing. I've never thought I was a very good photographer so I decided to take a photography class earlier this year. After the photography class I felt a lot better about my photo taking abilities and I wanted to make sure that I retained what I had learned. 

             So this year my New Years resolution was to take 365 pictures. Even though I have started a day late, lucky for me it is a leap year so I had an extra day to spare anyway, which will allow me to take 365 photos. The photos I take will be photos that sum up my days experience or something that I saw along the way. I may not include a story to go with my photo every time but I will try my best to do so. With that being said, I hope that your New Years resolutions will be successful, and feel free to share your New Years resolutions with me in the comments below! Also if you happen take a photo of something that you saw, or you decide to join this journey with me, I would love it if you shared your photos with me! See ya'!
