Wrong side of 50, married with 4 grown up children, 2 girls and 2 boys. Rachel lives in Luton with her boyfriend and is a primary school teacher. Rosina is at university and currently studying at Victoria University, Melbourne. Matthew works in the outdoor education industry so divides his time between centres in France and the UK. Finally, Luke lives in China where he teaches English.
I don't make New Years resolutions, but I do like to set myself some goals/challenges and in 2013, a 365 photo journal is one of them. Having completed the year with no gaps, I'm hooked on the whole photography/journal aspect of blip and am tentatively planning to do it all again in 2014. I say tentatively because it can be very demanding and I'm not sure I can do a 2nd year with no gaps. That said, I'm probably less fussed about gaps this year than I was last year, or at least i need to be :-)
I relied quite heavily on PhotoShop in 2013. I work from home most days, so there are many days when the scenery doesn't change much and there is a lack of interesting things to shoot. I plan to try and rely less on PhotoShop this year. We'll see.
Failed - I simply have to admit that photography and Photoshop go together for me.
Update for 2015 - I fell short of 365 pictures in 2014 and pretty much at the last hurdle in late November and December, but life got in the way and I finally made the break, i.e. accepted that it was OK to miss a day. Very cathartic, and I'm hoping that will carry on into 2015. Creative images when I have the time and inspiration, journalistic images when there is something to photograph and in between, nothing! That's a healthy approach me thinks.
