Every year I reflect on my thoughts for next year's goals and ambitions.

This year, I want to focus on improving my photography overall and to narrow my focus to the core aspect of photography. Last year I discovered that at times I felt a need to rush through a project and not stay as long as I should out in the field and occasionally felt like I was going through the motions.  

This Year's photographic bucket list:

1. Focus on Landscape and the elements of outdoor photography: status - getting better.
2. Take more time and be patient when in pursuit of the elusive bird:  Status - it is hard to wait
3. Stop thinking about the gear I have and start using to the gear that I have to the fullest: Status - doing that now.
4. Learn from my mistakes: Status - trying.
5. Learn from others: doing it.

See you out in the field!
