How many resolutions have you kept, and if so ......Another year is done and the New Year will be upon us in a few hours.  Oh yes, some of you are making resolutions and some are making commitments - all good intentions, but how many do you keep, and if you do, for how long?If you are, or want to be a photographer, here is a list of  10 “DO’s” worth committing to:

1. Learn to be deliberate with each image.
2. Don’t shoot the same frame unless you make a change
3. Learn and pay attention to composition
4. Learn and pay attention to exposure (expose to the right)
5. Respect your subject - always
6. Don’t get enamored with new equipment - unless you have mastered what is in your bag
7. Make images don’t just take images
8. Look behind you - there is another image, possibly even better
9. Be aware of photographer’s etiquette (it is common sense)
10. Learn something every single day (it may not be new)

To my readers, those who have attended my workshops, classes and al my friends, I give a heartfelt thanks for 2013!  I look forward to another exciting year with you in 2014.  To all A Very Happy and Prosperous New Year.
