I've been trying to do more for a while, but "52" rather than 365 might be a good idea, I just haven't seemed to had a lot of time since getting my new camera, and those photos I have taken haven't made it to my Flickr, they are sat in light room waiting to be sorted..

I've been putting together a list of things that I have wanted to do as well, so I'll see how it goes, I need to use it more as I have a wedding I'm doing the photos for in May

You might want to get practicing then, the idea of shooting a wedding always scares the bejezus out of me far too much pressure in case anything goes wrong or the photos just look rubbish.  Few people who've seen my photos have asked if I do weddings and I've always said no but it could be a good way to make some money on the side.

I guess I'll try and be a bit more proactive with everything in general. I've had a website on zenfolio for a year now and it's not exactly paid for itself. Thankfully in October a graphics designer in France commissioned me to do an Iris photo and paid £150 for it, even though he found me through an old photo on Deviant Art, I've put the money into paying for the hosting for another year, just in case. I'm tempted to go back to free hosting though as I don't have the time to invest in doing proper stock imagery.

I've thought a few times about a website, or I guess more of just a blog where I can just put a new post up about whatever I'm up to photography related wouldn't be that hard to setup but its just keeping it upto date that's the problem I'm somewhat lazy just look at my posting on here at times! 

Other things I've done is get 60 of my best 2011 photos printed as postcards, which I'll use for advertising. Work is also starting to get me to do different photography things, which though I'm not being directly paid for, I still get my normal hourly pay so I kind of am, which is a start...

That's not a bad idea, I was thinking of getting all my flickr photos printed on A4 but that might be a bit expensive.  Its good if you can get to do more photography related stuff at work just as long as it doesn't become too much of a chore, might put you off doing stuff out of hours.

That's not too bad then if it takes the pressure off a bit it should make you relax a little hopefully and just get on with taking photos.  And should give you an excuse to rent some decent gear and have a play

It was excuse enough to buy the 7D
