New year new me? Only time will tell, but this year is going to be a good one. My mission is to be a better member of the photography community. I want to talk to more photographers and maybe even mentor some that ask for advice, I want to do more community events like photo walks and art openings. In short, I want to be seen more out taking more photos. January was a bit slow like last month, but I hope that isn't a sign of things to come. Enjoy my favorites from this past month.
