New Year

Hi,

First of all I want to apologize profusely for being M.I.A these past few weeks, but I'm sure everyone can agree that the holidays are very busy and unfortunately I haven't been able keep up with my weekly updates. This is only a short message, but I just wanted to say Happy Holidays to everyone and hope that they got what they wanted. What was everyone's favourite present? I got a new leather jacket which I am very happy about.

Also just wanted to wish people a Happy New Year, it's amazing to see how far SoGoPro has come; I remember when the old blog started up, and I was excited to even hear about possible ventures for SoGoPro, now there are web-series' and a film in the making! I wish Hilarie, Nick and Kelly all the best in the new year, and I anticipate great things for them in 2010.

I think resolutions are important, and although I don't always end up keeping them, I do try my hardest to stick them out for the first few months. This year, I think my resolution will be to keep blogging regularly and also to study really hard for my exams.

Have a lovely end of the year everyone,

Izzie

Seasons Greetings SoGoPro-ers

Well, Christmas is officially over and the count down to new year has commenced. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas; here in the UK we were lucky enough to get a white Christmas for the first time in about 7 years which was wonderful, that combined with some new filters for my camera led to a fun-filled day of snapping the winter wonderland that appeared where Liverpool used to be. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the magic of the city that I never saw before.

SoGoPro has been such an inspiration over this past year, it makes you stop and notice the little things that are under your nose, in your own home town or even when you're exploring somewhere new. I recently visited London and it's good spending time in a place for the attractions that draw people, but when you look beyond that... you can really see the occult charm, even in something as simple as a row of trees down the side of the Thames, shedding their leaves ready for the winter, or small markings on a wall near Westminster where a bomb exploded in World War 2.

I hope that the delightful allure of looking beyond what is placed in front of you continues throughout 2010 and even longer. I definitely intend on snapping as much as I can and sharing it with all of you lovely SoGoPro-ers on the Flickr site... so keep an eye out!

Meanwhile, I wish every one of you all the very best for the new year!

Nikki
