My Goals For the Year

The other day I Tweeted about posting your goals somewhere so others could see them and make you accountable or help you stay on track. So, I decided to post my goals for the year right here for all of you to see. Help me stay focused and keep me mindful of what I tell you that you can do. So, here we go:


  1. Lose 95lbs.

  2. Write a book about my life and how you can inspire 1 million people

  3. Create a photography podcast

  4. Buy $500 dollars in stock (I know that is small, but I have never bought stock before)

  5. Create a family photo day for Mother's Day or Father's day

  6. Move my family to Pasadena, Californian (I was born in Pasadena, I still love it)

  7. Earn $100,000 in income from work and photography

  8. Buy new camera - D3 or D3x or even just the D700

  9. Inspire 1 million people to help improve their lives someway

  10. Go back to New York with my family and let my son skate his tail off

  11. Shoot the cover for Dime Magazine



So there you have it, my goals for 2009. You know you have some goals that you want to achieve, get started and post it somewhere.

How important are images?

Last night, as I was going through all of my images in my Aperture library, I realized just how important images are in my life. I found a photo of my son and daughter from 2003. As I looked at the photos, I remembered that time in their young lives and the time it was in my life.


The photos brought me joy and sadness. The joy was seeing their small little faces and remembering how they were always by my side. The sadness was I can never relive that moment. I can never see them at that age again. I am crying as I write this because of the joy of seeing them grow and mature, but also because they are growing and maturing.:)


The photo is what brought all of these emotions out of me. A simple photo that was taken with a 2mp digital camera that was given to me by their Aunt Gail. That camera captured these precious moments that I can only relive when I see those pictures.


How important are your images? Let me know....
