Those photography goals look great, I'm excited for you! And skydiving! I can't wait to do that myself!
ReplyDeleteholy cow that list is intense! awesome! hope you get everything accomplished!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am making a copy of this...makes me think about life...
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am really impressed. I really haven't come across anyone else like me that actually has a to-do list like the one you have here. Oddly enough, we have some of the same goals on our lists. I am an aspiring photographer/model myself and I would love to start my own business. I could use someone pointing me in the right direction. If you would be willing to answer a few questions I have, would you send me a quick email at danielmiller84@hotmail.com? I sure would appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Daniel
