2020: Twenty Things I Am Committing to This Year, Part I

Fort Tilden, January 2nd.

Halfway through the month, and here is my New Year post. Better late than never right?

In all seriousness, I am feeling more and more like a new person. I have renewed energy and ideas for this upcoming year. I’ve been talking about doing a Beach Lovers book for months, and this is the year I am committing to making it happen. Here is my first set of practices, big and small, that I am committing to this year.

1. Start a new personal project that is unrelated to the beach.

2. Shoot more film.

3. Attend creatives events that are outside of photography.

4. Beach Lovers book: do everything needed to get it made.

5. Do more writing and brainstorming about my photo work.

6. Rewrite my artist statements. Have someone read and edit them for me.

7. Visit more museums and galleries.

8. Take at least one class or workshop.

9. Teach at least one class or workshop.

10. Pitch my work on a more consistent basis.
