A wish list ~ Dreams are part of the business

Dreams are scary at times. especially the big ones, the ones which excite you to the point you would not tell someone about them. Because, lets say it, they scare the friggin´daylight out of you...

Wedding photography was a dream like this once. I did not tell friends or family as this crazy spark had jumped my mind and lit a fire. I held it to myself, till one day I sat in an attic surrounded by old and new found friends and someone turned to me and said, why not? Why not do it.

Slowly I found courage to say wishes out loud and slowly these dreams were followed by actions. Of course, this was a long road. Months and years had been ticked of the calender.

Reading across the photography bloggosphere I realize, we all have these dreams and some write them out loud. Some share and light new sparks and fires along the way.

AND I understand dreams are part of the business.

This January I contemplated whether to share dreams and goals of my year and I decided against it. Because as I wrote... friggn´daylight scare.

No! Somebody could actually read it and see my failure. 

But today, there is a new list and a new fear and new courage and new excitement. Today I thought about sharing a list of things I would actually really, really like to shoot one day. Some are more realistic than others, of course.

If I don´t get around to it... well, maybe in five years time. Who knows.

So, ready?
