I love the beginning of each new year, January and Febraury are the months I look back and the things we accomplished in the previous year, and areas of improvement and build our goals for the upcoming year.  I just got back from Imaging USA, which is a huge Professional Photographers of America of annual conference.  The classes, tradeshow, and people I met where amazing.  One of the best things about it was the location.  It was in New Orleans this year, which is my favorite city in the US.  I lived there for about 6 months, met my husband David there, and have some lifelong friends there as well.  One afternoon I walked around the Marigny area and just took some time to "see".  It was a totally overcast day with flat natural light which was ok because there were no shadows and you could see the detail in everything.  I could wander around there forever seeing just taking in the atmosphere.  Here's a little bit of the scene that I saw that day, and you'll be seeing lots of new things from us in 2012, I can't wait!
