This year, I resolve to stop buying cameras and lenses that I don't need on ebay... Or anywhere else.
I will dispose of many of the ridiculous number of cameras that I have aquired but never, or rarely use.
I will spend more time actually taking pictures, rather than just thinking about it and talking about it.

The above is in addition to all of the other resolutions I usually make and fail miserably to keep beyond February!

Good luck with yours, whatever they may be.

No man is worth his salt, who has not been banned from at least one Forum, and two Flickr groups.

Mowog.

My New Years resolution was to stop making them. Been "clean" now for over six years.

Hide the stuff you don't use, out of sight, out of mind?

Attics and lofts were built for this purpose. Igloo and Coleman cool boxes were invented for keeping delicate things safe, whilst out of sight.

Regards

Too far from a shore.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Still have not finished clearing a loft - my Mother-in-law kept telling all her friends who had nowhere to put their rubbish " That's OK , put it in our Loft " She did this for years and after her death we started to clear some room in it for OUR stuff . After my husband died I decided to be ruthless - and we filled a 14 cu yd Skip - much of it from the loft and the loft is STILL not empty

let the education continue

I'm with Gary on this one - no resolutions and a loft full of junk

That said I am determined this year to combine photography with my other favourite hobby - climbing (bouldering) - so I can look forward to having sweaty chalky fingermarks all over my camera gear...
