Basking in the glory of finally getting recognised for your hard efforts and photographic skill is pretty awesome and at the start of this week I took the opportunity to enjoy *
Fuzzypiggy's after he got published in a UK Photography Magazine. It's really nice when something like that happens and the knowledge that across the country - and because of deviantART and other networks - across the world, people are looking at your work. And if you're me, smiling! I once stumbled across *
lauren-rabbit's work in Black and White Photography Magazine and was truly proud that somebody I had found here on deviantART was here in my mag! So have you been published? Has your work received any recognition that makes you proud? What are your tips to getting out there and having your work showcased? Congratulations *
Fuzzypiggy!

From the Forums
Snobbish behavior in photography? what's your favorite subject to photograph? the $18,000 wedding photo "Where do your photographs live?" Opinion on Renting Camera Equipment? How did you come to your "profession"? Photoshopping mediocre photos? Instagram vs Toy Cameras
Photography Books
Whilst
seeing the light by Clyde Butcher is quite pricey, I'm currently immersed in it after my parents brought me back a copy from the USA last year. Clyde is an inspiring photographer located literally in the Everglade Swamps of Florida. I'll be talking more about him and his work at a later time but if you do get the chance to read up on him, his techniques and so on - then do!

Whatever way you intend to welcome in 2013, I hope you're surrounded by love and that you do it safely!
but what I can tell you is what I'm going to do. First, I totally participated in #26acts and I plan on continuing to participate in working in random acts of kindness into my days going forward. I'm going to learn to be a better listener, I tend to multi-task and I'm not going to do that when someone is trying to talk to me. I'm also going to practice forgiveness. I am not infallible and let's be honest, carrying around a grudge is exhausting. I'm also going to try to be more patient - this one is going to be a challenge
