Thought I'd get this in early as I won't be online tomorrow like many I'm sure.
Sending you all huge Merry Christmas wishes. This has been a very significant year for me for many reasons, most importantly because my partner and I had our first child on August 21st, shortly after we bought our first house, so its been a year of change and learning to adapt. But, its been magical for those reasons too.
Photographically it has also been a significant year for me too. I feel I have learned so much this year, especially in the area of portraiture, and as many of you know I took on my first wedding this year which was immensely stressful but at the same time hugely rewarding. I have such a long way to go with my photography but I'm looking forward to progressing more in 2013.
This forum and its members have been so important in helping me develop and grow as a photographer so I want to thank all of you who have contributed to my threads, provided advice and guidance, but also to those of you who have started threads that I have been able to study and learn from. Hand on heart I would not be where I am with my photography if it wasn't for FM and you guys and gals.
So, have a fantastic Christmas. I hope you all get to enjoy the festivities and are surrounded with love and friendship. I look forward to seeing what the festive season brings as far as pictures on FM, and even more so I look forward to learning and growing by being a part of The FM community in 2013.
Merry Christmas to you too! And to everyone else as well One thing I didn't see anyone start this year is the annual FM Christmas Card photo shop thingy.....
