Cleaning Up, Moving Forward

The older I get, the more I try not to make New Year's lists I know won't make it past the first couple of weeks in January. Instead, I've started making a list of things I'd like to improve upon from the past year. Yes, I know, it's still a list but it's all in how you look at what you're about to tackle.

I began this blog last April. For various reasons, I've allowed myself to be easily distracted and haven't put the time into the blog that I should have. It is so very hard to not let life get in the way of our pursuits. 

This week, I decided to make necessary changes and took the leap to enhance my online presence: I'm now creating a proper online portfolio through Smugmug. I really like the look of the site and the flexibility it offers to display my work.

What does this all mean?

Through the rest of February, I will be straightening up my blog, developing my portfolio and will be able to sell prints of my photos as well as many other items. I hope--over time--it will mean I can start bringing in some extra money to help pay household bills. Take a vacation. Sell the house and travel around the United States in photography bliss...

I think you get the picture.

    Nice photography pun. :)

    I hope that you are able to develop income through your photography.
