Shoot anything and everything

Slipped into February without too much of a hitch, well, that was the plan.

The plot of this year started out with my 'list'. I'm not setting targets to hit, that as we all know can be more treacherous than a pit full of aggressive procrastinations (read snakes). Instead 'directions to travel'. Without being pretentious either. The idea is that in choosing directions to follow I am able to reassess what I'm doing at each 'stop' (read project).

Now, I know what I like to shoot and those that inspire me do so because I admire what they choose to photograph, well, for the paying customer. This had me at a disadvantage last year as I thought I should also choose carefully what to photograph. That was the big mistake. So I've decided to take every opportunity to increase the variety, basically shooting anything anyone wants.

Obviously, I'll be more into the stuff I like than what I'm not used to. That's where reassessing my photography becomes the important factor. There are many styles which I have yet to have a go at, so if I have the opportunity to try it, I'll do my best. TFP at first, until I feel comfortable with the style or subject.

Hense the headline of my list is 'Shoot anything and everything'.
