Goals for 2010

Here are some things that I want to change about my photography this year....

1. I need to take more pictures!!!!!
2. I have noticed that a lot of my pictures are really saturated and over processed... I want to stay away from that and let the original picture do the talking. Not to say that I wont edit my photo's, but I want to limit the extent to which I do edit them . In other words I really want to my pictures to look natural.
3. I want to use less effects on my pictures (sepia, vignettes, etc.). UNLESS I think the picture is better suited with one of those effects i.e. the "Looking Over Your Shoulder" shot.
4. I want to be good at processing images in black and white.
5. I need to emulate some of my favorite photographers, and read more about the art of photography.

Well here we go! If you see an over usage of effects, and over processing let me know!!! Accountability is much appreciated!
