Happy New Year!

The new year is just around the corner! I thought I’d take a moment to compile just a few of my favourite photographs of 2009.

I still haven’t blogged a lot of my photos from this year, so must make it a resolution to catch up with that!

It’s been a wonderful year which has seen my photography business begin to bloom. I hope for it’s continued growth for 2010 and will be working hard to making that happen. I quite fancy doing a spot of pet photography and wedding photography. They are completely different genres and I will need to do a lot of research into those areas.

2010 will be the year of the 4am Project. It’s my global photography project which asks photographers to take a photograph of the view of their world at 4am. In order to make it grow and get the word out I shall be dedicating a lot of my time to that. It’s going to be a very exciting time!

I will be seeing in 2010 at Digbeth Coach Station. Nicky Getgood, Digbeth resident and blogger of Digbeth is good has had a crazy great idea of spending from 6pm to 6am at the newly re-opened station. Somehow she has persuaded me to join her! I am not as hardcore as Nicky though as will spend just a few hours before and after midnight at the station. We plan on documenting the life of the station and it’s travellers, so I will have my camera in hand. It’s even got some press attention with the Birmingham Mail writing about it. Wish me luck

I shall just take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy new year! I hope 2010 is good to you. I’ve met some wonderful people this year through blogging and twittering, and made many new friends who are very inspiring.

See you in 2010!
