So, this is the end of an insane year! But it’s only the beginning of a whole new adventure. :)I feel like I have grown and evolved so much into the photographer that I *am* and I couldn’t be happier. I’m thrilled to see what’s in store for the upcoming year… or even years! Life is amazing, and to be able to catch snippets of it and share with the world what I see is such a blessing. I hope people that experience my work can come away with something. :)

This year has shaped me like no other has. Just being comfortable in my own skin is something I’m learning everyday, and exposing myself to world through photographs.

I am so blessed for all the connections I made this year, with friends (you guys ;) ), other photographers, people who inspire me, and people I love. You all have brought me to where I am now.

So many exciting things in store for 2008 though, I can’t wait to share. ;)

Another exciting thing is that I won Grand Prize (and second place :)) for the Jesh de Rox Explore Awards! Thank you SO much to everyone who voted – and participated in any way. This is certainly the icing to a wonderful year, and mind blowing to me. I would’ve never thought that I would ever get to where I am now, and I only look forward. :) Thank you to Jesh and the judges and everyone who participated! I am so humbled. So humbled. :)

So! I embark on a new year with a new resolution for the blog too – a photo a day! I realize the blog is going to be a bit crazy with something everyday, but I hope that you can all keep up!

I wish everyone a lovely, safe, and beautiful new year!!

<3 Susan

P.S. The photos I have posted are from cards I painted this year :)
