For myself: Never leave the house without the camera around my neck
I want to produce one or more photobooks, if only for my own satisfaction and review.
I’ve found a way of printing in b&w (black ink only) using a linux print control interface called CUPS. On a budget Canon Pixma 3+black inkjet. These are sort of sub exhibition quality but very viewable for reviewing ongoing work. A good paper for this purpose i’m using is HP Colorlok Premium 100gsm; brighter than typical plain paper with deeper blacks. So i’ve printed a lot of recent pictures now and i’ve begun the journey towards putting together the basis of a book perhaps.
My goal this year is to create a portfolio of 50 images that I have consciously created.
Not because I intend to become a professional photographer, but simply because I feel that having “I want to be a better photographer” as a goal is way too vague. So I thought I’d create some sort of metric to be able to gauge my progress–as subjective as it is.
Even though it’s a little late, I want to wish everybody a happy new year!!
Normally I do not do new year resolutions.
But, since I will be a first-time father any day now I will shift my focus from photographing the streets to capturing the growth of my baby boy! Hopefully, this will result in a nice photobook at the end of the year.
