Five New Years Resolutions for Photographers

Improve your Photography in 2014

Commit to photograph a minimum of once a week.

• Photograph subjects that are available to you.
• Something in your home, office
• Use your iPhone or digital camera.
• Make it easy for you to keep this commitment

Buy a bunch of flowers and practice at home, or on your lunch break.

• Use your iPhone, smart phone or digital camera
• This is NOT about great photos, but like any sport, you need to practice seeing.
• Don’t complicate this one, KISS (Keep it simple, stupid)

Selfies are the easiest subject, go for it.

• Include some hint of your location in the frame, a “sense of place”
• Sitting at your desk, on your coffee break, lunch
• No need to share if you’re shy, this is about practicing using your camera

Upload your photos to your computer, tablet

• At the end of 2014, you’ll be glad you can see your improved skills
• Share with your friends
• Share on your blog
• It’s fun to get comments as your vision improves in 2014

Once a month, go out and make a day of making photos.

Nothing improves my photography more than practice
If you’re serious about your desire to improve then give yourself the gift of time
