NEW YEAR GOALS

I follow a blog published by a well known photographer named Matthew Jordan Smith.
He writes about self promotion, achieving your set goals, and dreaming big. I highly recommend you check him out. He seems like such a genuinely cool guy - a jet setting photographer, yes, but still completely down to earth. I dig his focus.

In his latest entry Matthew writes about making a plan, setting goals and making them happen within a set time. I am going to carry out this exercise. I am going to visualize and realize my dreams.
