I haven’t been much a of a goal-setter up to this point but was challenged by a good friend this summer to start thinking about what I wanted to do in life (better late then never, I guess 
). With photography being my main hobby (plus bringing in some revenue in 2009) it was important to set some goals for 2010. So here goes…
Shooting five days/week. More would be good but at a minimum, I’ll be shooting five days/week. To many days, my camera just sat there. No more.
Blogging more frequently. Starting January 4th, I’m starting a weekly project where every Monday, I’ll be posting an image. Not just some “let me throw something up get a post” but putting up what I would consider my better images. I’ll probably start posting to Flickr a bit more to get more feedback as well.
Education. Between books and various blogs I frequent, I have a unlimited amount of information and pictures to look at to gain knowledge and inspiration. I’m spending a minimum of 30 minutes/day (five days/week) on this.
Putting together a portfolio by July 1st. I have some connections to get in some model homes to potentially shoot this spring so I need to take advantage and put together a portfolio of my work.
That’s it for me. So what are you photography goals for 2010?

What wide-angle do you have? The 28mm still? You should consider renting a wide angle lens for some interior shots of some of your homes and see what you can get that way.
Also, some portable lights, and I don’t mean expensive strobes… just some portable lights you can stick or hide in places to really accentuate a corner or something in a room. Since you can do it on a tripod, they don’t have to be too intense and shouldn’t be too different from the room’s natural lighting.
One of your goals should be to take classes at DSLRU.
I like the new theme Alan. I just got the Canon 10-22mm lens and it’s been fun taking shots on the wide angle, puts a different perspective on things. I’ve also been looking at different photo challenges/projects for this year, here’s one site that’s been giving me ideas, http://www.photochallenge.org
Another good site if you want a “challenge” for a day: http://dailyshoot.com/. A friend of mine set that up.
Between the 28mm and the 18-55mm I”ve been able to do okay but yeah, need some wide angle glass. Nice plug, btw.
Nice lens! I looked at the Canon but am leaning towards either the Sigma or Tokina for a wide-angle option. Thanks for the link, I’ll have to check it out!
Thanks. I follow them on Twitter and may use it to incorporate ideas into my 5 days/week shooting.
