Big for Evanita, $ewm who made my journal all pretty. She used *kuschelirmel-stock's CSS as a base design.


First of all I'd like to wish all my friends here at DA a happy, safe and successful new year. And, now is the time that most people make their New Years resolutions. Like most people, I make resolutions and rarely ever accomplish them. This year I want to try something a little different. I'm going to make my resolutions photography related. So, below you will see a list of all the places I would like to go to next year. And next to each item, you will see how many times I want to go there or how frequently I want to go there. Some of these places I've been to before and some are places I would like to go to. This year there were a few places I wanted to go to, but didn't go because of the lack of vacation time. There were many times that work got slow and when we were low on work, I would take 2 or 4 hours of vacation time and go home. Well, I've decided that I can twiddle my thumbs like the rest of them and will not be wasting my vacation time like that next year. So, I guess one of my personal resolutions will be to use my vacation time more wisely. Also, the last item on my list is not a place I would like to go to, but something I've always wanted to learn how to do and next year I want to do that. So, here is the list.
