So one thing about me: I am pretty terrible about writing things down. One time in college, I completely spaced turning in a poetry assignment. That day I made a vow to myself that I would write down every single assignment from there on out… and that lasted about 2 weeks. Occasionally I will write down a few things now and then, but for the most part, my planner is of the virtual kind in my noggin.

I’m usually not one to stick to resolutions either, but this year I am actually going to make one. Or two.

Resolution #1: Project 365

(Or 366 for 2012… but that doesn’t sound as good. ☺)

This year I am going to take a photo every single day and share all of my pictures on here in a roundup post with a tip or two. Like I said in my post about photography tips, photography is one of those things that you just have to do to get better. And even though I’ve just got a little Nikon D40, I want to push that little guy to the best of his ability and learn in the process. ☺

If anyone wants to join this project, feel free to join anytime! You can take the little badge that I’ve put in my sidebar if you’d like as well. ☺ Here’s to becoming a better photographer in 2012!

1/365: ISO: 1600 f/1.8 Shutter Speed: 1/40

(It was very dark in the room, hence the high ISO and graininess.)

This weekend my boyfriend, Sean, and I went down to Atlanta to visit Sean’s older brother. Technically I did not take this photo since I didn’t push down the shutter, but I did set up all the settings. Plus, I thought it would be fitting to have this photo as the first one… New year. New adventures. The best people. 😉

I did, however, take this photo:

Hehe. 😉

Resolution #2: Write down what I do everyday.

This year I also plan to work on the whole “I’m bad at writing stuff down” thing… in stages. I just bought this cute little planner from Kate Sutton after seeing Chaplinn’s post about it on her blog. I am not going to keep a diary or anything, but I do want to write down at least one thing that I did every day. Even if it’s boring. ☺

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s! Here’s to 2012 being the best yet.

This photo: ISO:400 (Not too grainy) f/1.8 Shutter Speed: 1/4 second.
