Photography and Update
Earlier this year I posted about the list of things I wanted to work on moving forward. It’s been about 8 weeks so I figured it’s time for a quick check and some accountability.
- Focus
I’d give myself a C+ on this. I’ve been doing 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Getting there slowly.
- Health
Solid D on this one. Just haven’t made it the priority it needs to be, I need this to happen just haven’t found the catalyst.
- Learning to Say No
Give myself a B on this. Had some success in the middle – not a solid “no” but a “I know someone who…”. I’ve also been more open asking others for help, which offsets the No Ratio.
- Personal Growth
The crux of this post. One thing I want to do is take better pictures, and I’ve been getting some great advice from friend and super photog Sean O’ in Florida. I felt one way to get better was to make sure I’m sharing, so I added the Photos section to the site. Please take a look and share your thoughts in the comments here. I’ll be doing more posts on my own growth, goodness knows the world doesn’t need another photo blog, but it’s something I’m interested in and a great outlet for my extra 10-15 seconds a week.
- Positively Positive
Solid B+ here, if you’ve followed my twitter steam you’ve seen a more jovial me, I hope. I’m made serious effort to stop being a wet blanket and let more nonsense roll of my back. Also if it’s that damn important I need to blog about it not try and cram it into 140 characters that everyone seems to interpret differently in a contextual vacuum. Life is good, I’m sick of moping about the handful of things that bum me out and am trying to focus on the buckets of awesome I’m part of everyday.
- More Music Less Moving Pictures
I’ll say B-, but really we’re doing well on this. It’s a family effort that will coincide with spring but we’re watching less tv/movies, talking and dancing more. Good things.
- Build Shit
I’m at a C here, although this site is something new so it helps. The sketchbooks and notes and conversations and designs scattered about as of yet unbuilt bum me out – but hopefully I can make some more progress. It’s all a balance – of time, devotion, emotion and sweat.
