Well, we all made it to another year, another decade, and through another holiday season. This is a time when we look forward, not backward, so what does 2010 have in store for me and this site?
- I will deploy a new Web site. I'm still working out one big problem that came up, but we'll get there this year, really.
- Updated Guides are coming. Observant amongst you will have noticed that D300 Guide is temporarily unavailable. That's usually the signal that a new guide is about a month away. But no promises!
- I'll clear my Waiting For list this year. Yes, I will. I really will. Plus some things that aren't on it will appear, too. Think of it like a juggler dealing with 10 balls. Getting them up into the air is easy, keeping them juggled without dropping them is difficult, but all the ooh's and aah's come with the dismount: can he finish with a flourish?
- New Nikon goodies are coming. Some time in the first two weeks of February we'll have lots to talk about. Lots.
- Survey results and more surveys are coming. I haven't forgotten about the surveys I've done, especially the last big one, on camera reliability. The results are interesting. And I've got more data than JD Power bases their camera maker rankings on!
- Reviews are coming. D3000, D300s, D3s, plus 16 lens reviews. We'll do this one at a time, but with some urgency. In the meantime, look below for some quick comments.
- As usual, I'm traveling a lot. East, West, South. But not North this year.
The thing I'm still stuck on is workshops. I don't think four-person, three-day workshops like I used to do will satisfy the pent up demand, nor are they economically viable at the prices I charged. Long-form exotic photo tours aren't the answer, either, as not everyone can afford the time or money. And I don't like 16-person workshops--not enough one-on-one time. So, I'm stumped. Suggestions welcome.
On a related note, I've narrowed down my new domicile search to Colorado, Washington, and Wyoming. (Previously I was also considering Alaska, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah.) Obviously, some of my trips this year will be targeted towards those areas, so I'm curious to hear from you about suggestions. Wherever I end up will also likely be where I retire.
