A little late but happy new year to anybody who reads this. 2020. Time seems to move far too quickly. As I’m writing this we’re already 8 days in.

I’m going to try my best this year to make a real effort to post on the blog page and definitely update the galleries. I don’t really do resolutions but I aim to make some changes. I need to make photography more central in my life.

I said to myself that I would be using social media more frequently, and more efficiently. I think I’ve settled more on Twitter and Instagram over Facebook. I’ve always preferred Twitters straight forward approach over the competition, look at me style of Facebook. We’ll see.

My mental health has improved, I think. I’m more open about how I’m feeling and not as scared to express myself. Why should I be? Do I still have moments of darkness, yes of course but I know they’ll pass. I am more in control of my dark thoughts, they don’t scare me as much.

I guess the most important thing I need to work on now is priorities. I overthink a lot. Things that don’t matter at the time. Too easily I get distracted and let my mind wander. I need to learn how to live more in the moment, stop with the pre-planning and living in the past.

Talking about the past…(horrific linking there)…I’ve finally edited the fireworks photos from Disney so I’ll attach them below. Not bad considering they were all taken handheld with the 50mm and a bit of luck.
