For the past couple years, I've made a 'To do' list for things I want to photograph during the year. I only ever get to about a third of these, but I think its helped me in diversifying shot selection, and keeping me focused on goals and areas of improvement. My Photographic Year (due to crazy work schedule) starts around Easter. With that right around the corner, here is what I have.
