I take lots of pictures. Lately most are snapshots. I want to take real photos with composition, artistic integrity and profundity. Plus, I want to seek out places, events, and people worth photographing…images that I am willing to show people as an example of my artwork and my outlook on life, not just pics of the nieces or Thanksgiving dinner. Will post one a week on my Facebook for my friends and family to see. This will also qualify as doing something
I am afraid of…so two goals in one!

I’ve been wanting to do this for years. My mother swears it will kill her and my ex-girlfriend ridiculed the design I wanted…so I’ve been reluctant to commit. But I am feeling determined and defiant lately. I think it will be an important part of moving on from the safety net of family acceptance and toward being ok with the end of my old relationship. It will represent letting go of my obsessive need to meet other people’s expectations.I am ready, psychologically. I have chosen the tattoo artist that I like. Now I just need to settle on a design and save the money. I anticipate achieving this goal in the next six months.
