My New Year's Resolutions

I don't know about a resolution but I want to approach things differently.

Less emails to clients...more phone contact and live meetings
Create a video commercial to promote my business
Focus a little more on Video content
Shoot with the album in mind
Blog once a week.. ok there is a resolution *L*
Stay focused on personal projects
Practice more
Improve relationships with all vendors

Continue to buy more gear for no reason.

I am actually going to try to buy less gear - we will see how that goes.

The two bolded ones are some that I am looking to improve on.

Isn't that why we all became photographers in the first place

Slowing down...definitely. Feeling rushed is by far my biggest Kryptonite.

^^^^ this for me big time ^^^^^

my 3 resolutions

1. slow down and get more time for the planned shots, especially formals. Hate to start 4 hrs before but most of our groups want to run all over the place and get lots of shots, Which is great, but we need to schedule more time so its not so hectic. We started taking studio strobes this year and use them inside and out. Made a huge difference for us, but I need some more time or hire an assistant like Tim does. I think what we save in Post is worth the extra bucks to get someone to help with the gear.

2. Try raise the price points- Economy still tough in Midwest

3. Spend more time with the post processing. I really would like to step this up a bit more than i do. Very impressed with Lloyd and some of you others in this forum. I would really like to step it up a bit more in the artistic side of things. All suggestions appreciated.
