|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board 2009 Photographic Resolutions. Nic Coury, Photographer Monterey | CA | | Posted: 12:53 AM on 01.03.09 ->> So I usually think New Year's Resolutions are a sham, but I made a few for my professional photographer endeavors. Figured I'd share them in hopes of encouraging my colleagues here and sharing the passion. 1.) Learn to better control my strobe light. 2.) Update my member page with only sports images (I'm not much of a sport shooter. Yet.) 3.) Shoot a new sport. 4.) Shoot and learn to better expose my film photography. 5.) Get published in new places. 6.) Make more money in what I love to do: photojournalism. What do you all have for this year's goals? Cheers, ~ nic  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

As always, take more pictures for myself and not just for assignments. 2. Continue to be creative and stick with it even if some don't like it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I just hope our negative scanner still works.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Take at least one seminar or workshop on the business end of photography. 2. Shoot another sport or event other than boxing/MMA. 3. Find different avenues for my images to increase my chances of being published(So far, one image was made into a poster). 4. Make more money this year with my photography.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
