Okay here goes, in no particular order:

1. Sell something...anything. Never have before. I just want to sell enough to pay for the TLR I just bought off Ebay...that's not so much to ask, is it?

2. Learn about lighting for portraits.

3. Improve street photography skills (as if I have any to start with).

4. Get a gallery show and/or get some photos hung in a local coffee shop (probably easier to do in Austin than some other places, but still a bit ambitious, for me.)

5. Get some good landscape shots from a not so amazing place. All my good landscapes have been the kind you could hardly screw up, so I want to see if I can make something from less (not necessarily from nothing).

6. Learn a little (modified) zone system with my new TLR.

7. Post more on this site!

Okay, there it is in writing, for all to see. I hope I'm still lingering on this site at the end of '06 when someone brings this thread back.
