Some of the Resolutions are how to start keep up with all the images taken and how to be more open about showing one's images. It also includes goals the photographer hopes to do this coming year.

On this website I learned that it is wiser to ask for help from professionals instead of being intimidated by them, because they have had more experience and can advise you for the better.

I choose this photo because it fits the time of year and its cool how snow is captured in this photo along with the girl.

In this photo I see simplicity and balance.

This website is about how a photographer traveled the world to photograph organism 2,000 years and older. By partnering with biologist to document some of the oldest elements still alive on this Earth.

I choose this photo because of the thickness and green the tree contains. I also like the development and strength the tree has.
