2 month update...because you didn't ask for it but I'm pretending you did.

On July 1st of this year I made some "mid-year resolutions".
With 4 months remaining, I was curious on my progress. Here is an update:

1. Find a job that I LOVE.

check. I can officially call myself a full-time photographer now. Yay!

2. Stop apologizing so much.

I can't say right now if I have an update on this one. I'll know soon, though. I'm really sorry about that..

3. Spend more time with my Grandmother.

check. BUT...I have plans for more. That should never cease, really.

4. Throw myself into the photo project I've had in my head for over a year now but haven't talked about out loud to anyone.

"Throw" really isn't the right word, but I have been active in both a public and non public project. More to come on that.

5. Keep writing this blog and not caring if anybody reads it!

Ha! Check check check check

6. Stop being "one of the guys" so much and expect to be treated more like the girl I know I am. (When a gentleman opens a car door for you and you don't even RECOGNIZE what he's doing - that's a sign that there's a small problem.)

Looking back on writing this makes me laugh. Whatever I felt like then is far from what I feel now...It's like I cursed myself.

7. Be less selfish and show more appreciation for my friends.

IF it's been done, recognition is not needed. My friends just rock.

8. Rent a booth at a local fair and sell my photos.

CRAP! I think I missed the deadline.

9. Buy a wide lens! (the one resolution to purchase!)

CHECK! 24mm 1.4f lens - all mine, baby!

10. Don't regret any choice I've made, any path I've taken, or ever wearing my heart out on my sleeve. (the hardest resolution) And remember that although I often feel alone - I am surrounded by love.

Check.
