2012, Year of My Baby Photographer

I am using 2012 to refind my writing-mojo, get back on track and to get creative with my articles. I am determined to read and write a lot more about photographic subjects.

Why the sudden importance on this?

1. There’s going to be a baby in our house in 5 months time (thus the interesting title to this first post), so I want the newest addition to our clan to know that Daddy is more than the blob on the computer.
   
   I hope my kid catches my bug for photography, creativity, action and entrepreneurialism early. I’d like them to be selling lemonade on the street corner before the age of ten!
   
2. Throughout 2012 my wordpress blog is going to return to the main point of focus – photography – and filled with stories about my photographic ideas, lens and camera comparisions, plus my thoughts on many related accessories.
   
3. Since being introduced to various social networking sites, I have spent more time glued to my computer reading and investigating how to do the one subject that interests me most – photography.
   
4. I have also realised how important it is to keep my mind active, my body fit and my creativity flowing: I want to be able to think fast, stay on my toes (both physically and metaphorically), and to be able to tackle any situation that comes before me quickly and efficiently. I’m told kids are hard work, so I want to be ready.
   Plus so I can trek around Kangaroo Island photographing many different things.

Yet this year I anticipate that the most photographed subject will be my child, my wife, our new life and our introduction to being a family of three.
