A New Challenge...In the Works

I have come to a realization, I am not spending as much time as I would like/need to on my photography! This realization came when Aaron and I were rearranging our office and he found a hard cover portfolio he bought me about three Christmases ago to put print outs of some of my best shots in, and it was empty. And not just empty, but collecting dust, cob webs hanging from corners empty! I felt awful!!! It was with this incident and me submitting some pictures to a website, www.dreamstime.com, that allows one to sell their pictures and my pictures were rejected, that I realized I want and need to spend more time on my photography. I decided, then and there, starting the beginning of the year I am setting a new challenge for myself and my photography. The details are still a bit sketchy in my mind, but it will consist of forcing myself to wake up earlier, Keurig coffee and post processing my pictures. The sketchy details also include of submitting a certain number of pictures per week/month to dreamstime.com and having a higher number of pictures accepted; it also includes printing out the pictures that were accepted and placing them in my hard cover portfolio my wonderful husband bought me. If anyone has ideas on how to fill in these sketchy details I'm all ears!!

Here is a sample of pictures that are accepted to the website and is my inspiration!

    Cousin! I am so proud of you. Setting measurable goals is one of the best things you can do for yourself as an artist. It's a scary thing to do because of the fear of not meeting those goals. But don't worry, failure isn't real. As long as you continue to push yourself and grow as an artist-failing is impossible. Keep pushing, keep growing. You'll never regret trying.
