HAPPY NEW YEAR! & New Year's Photography Resolutions 2014

Please check out the previous entry which shows a preview of my mom’s birthday book.  I also completed our annual photo calendar, this year with a quirky theme “Sign of the Times”.

Now let's see how I've done with last year's goals: 

Workshops and Photo Activities for 2013:

·         Moab Photo Symposium 10^th Anniversary (May 2013 and already registered for 2014)

·         Denver in the Dark (October 2013)

·         25^th Anniversary Banquet for the Urban Wildlife Photo Club

Major Resolutions from 2013 Completed:

·         Found most, but not all of the missing Norway and Africa Slides.  Still more boxes need to be thoroughly gone through.

·         Planned but not yet built the UV box.  But we have all the necessary parts.  A good winter project for Donald.

·         The BIGGEST DEAL:  Got my Mamiya 6X7 which I have already posted photos from. A belated graduation self-gift.  Will soon post a write-up on the details of camera.

·         We will be getting a 4X5 kickstarter pinhole camera in early 2014

·         Participated in World Wide Pinhole day at the Lafayette Library

Donald was the big winner on Photo Presents this year:

·         Horizon Perfekt Panorama Camera (FromLomography):

·         His own full-size carbon fiber tripod, so he can stop borrowing mine

Upcoming for 2014 and Beyond:

·         Spending more time in the dark room

·         Build UV light box for alternative processes

·         More Photography Workshops

·         More active in photography organizations

·         Don’t Forget World Wide Pinhole Day, April 27, 2014!

·         Getting started in the world of Smart Phone Photography (Stills and Video)

·         Finally get my solargram set up in the front yard!
