Looking back

As we move towards the end of the year we look at the past and reflect on what has happened during the past year, and sometimes the years before. We always find things we wish we could do over and things we would never change. I do believe it is important to reflect on the past but not to dwell in the past. Photography gives us a visual of the past. We photograph friends, family, events, and adventures. We can then, as we remember the past, actually see images and moments from the past year and years before that.

I find this time of year a good time to set goals for the coming year. Not resolutions but rather goals, not only in life but in my photography and my art. As you look back on the past year take time to review your photographic and artistic goals. Set the destination to grow as a person and an artist.
