Goal setting is good - even when you 'fail'

[column-group] [column]Sheila - Version 3[/column] [column]Mary[/column] [/column-group]

These are two photographs from my series of 100 Portraits in 2013. Sheila, my mother-in-law, is 86 years old and Mary, her granddaughter, is 18. These were among 48 portraits I made in 2013. I failed to make it even half way to 100 portraits but I learnt a lot. It is difficult to put into words what I have learnt but it feels good and so I am going to keep going till I get to 100. I'd like to be done by the summer of 2014 so it will have taken me about a year in total. I don't want it to drag on for ever. I'd like to move on to a more specific people project but I won't start that till I have reached my 100.

Drop me an email with your thoughts. (I may include them here.)
