I was thinking of what mine might be prior to seeing this, and I had 2 in particular.

1 Far less acquisitions. Picking up a new camera or lens does not equate to more time to shoot. It actually only deepens one’s time deficit. It’s time that I stick with some favorites and revisit others rather than think some panacea exists in some not yet acquired film camera.

2 Be weird. This is where photography gets fun again for me, in managing to do thIngs like laying a pair of 35mm strips on 616 backing for a new shooting experience, or in getting shockingly good results with just a Brownie and some close up lenses. It’s time to have fun with this hobby again rather than nitpick out of focus rendering between the Pentax 50/2 and 50/1.7.

Happy New Year James and all!

I myself will go with resolution number 3. Why? At the moment i have a mini collection of AI Nikkors – 24mm f2.8, 28mm f2.8, 35mm f2.8 and f2, 50mm f1.8 pancake, f1.4 and f2 russian f-mount, 40mm f2 voigtlander.. I’m going to choose one of the wider lenses and stick with it. This year also, i would love to try and develop my own film. I purchased a tank, changing bag and film clips 2 months back. But have not gotten to buying the rest of the stuff and doing it yet. A good year to start it seems.

Looking forward to more from CP.

Great resolutions – that last one is super important and I wish I included it in the list. Getting prints of your favorite shots is one of the best parts of shooting film (or digital, really). Excellent advice.
