7 down - 15 to go!

it's a good thing none of my goals for may included blogging often. 
it's been a crazy month. 
a month of vacation, loads of beach time, good-bye parties, the Cannes Film Festival, packing, and returning to Canada.  somehow i managed to squeeze in some of my 2010 goals.
the ones with progress:

learn french well enough to have an entire conversation with my grandma & apply for bilingual jobs
i actually called my grandma one afternoon at the beginning of the month and we chatted in french for about 10 minutes! including laughing a lot and teasing each other.  i won't cross this one off, i am not satisfied with my level of french yet, and still plan on studying a lot more.  
a french lunch with my grandma is in order as well. 

master the use of photographic flash &
  portfolio building preplanned photoshoots
a bit of progress on these 2 goals.  2 really great photoshoots with friends in the last few days i was in france.   as much as i still prefer working with natural light, i did use flash for some of the shots.  
meet chloe

 and katie

get accepted to a stock photo site
i have been accepted as a contributor on istock.com!
apparently though, that's the easy part.  now i have to submit each individual image for review before it gets accepted, and have to have model releases signed for anything i want to submit.  but, it's a start, and possibly a little money to be made from my photos.

post a worthy photo to flickr everyday for 21 days
done and done!
from may 1-21 i forced myself to post to flickr before visiting any other websites.
it was trickier than i thought, with life getting in the way - huge respect for anyone who has ever done a 365! that is dedication.

whoo! 2 more goals down and solid progress on the others.  i'm liking how this is going.
