The Year Ahead

So it’s 2009. It’s also the day that MichaelMistretta.com turns one year old, which is kind of a big deal in this whole blogosphere thing.

Over the past year, I have met and worked with some truly fantastic people that have encouraged and challenged me, fallen in love with photography and photojournalism, started a company, and made a heck of a lot of mistakes along the way. Not bad for a year’s work.

I have changed. My weblog has changed. I am finally comfortable with my writing. I can finally re-read my writing over a hot beverage and genuinely enjoy it. That’s a feat in itself.

Looking ahead, I can’t pretend to predict everything that 2009 has in store for me. But I’m excited to meet more great people, do more great things, and continue to grow in everything I do.

Welcome to 2009. Let’s do this thing.
