Obsessed? Who, me?!? by Pei-Pei Ketron (Website | Flickr )

Of course, like every year before, we all got many new intentions for the year 2009. Besides private and business life, you may have some ideas on how you want to improve your photography.

On the one hand this can be done by buying new gear (even if it doesn't necessarily help you take better pictures) like a more 'professional' camera (DSLR maybe?), new lenses or a new flash.

On the other hand this can be done by choosing new topics or areas you want to cover (for example getting into landscape, macro or portrait photography), sharpening your view for the scenery or trying to improve your technique in general.

However you'll want to develop withtin the next twelve months, always try to improve your photography, gather creativity from other folks pictures (for example in our Flickr group , magazines or just by taking a nice walk outside), by reading magazines or letting nature, cities and people around you inspire you.

So, what's your big photo-plan for 2009? Dicuss here in our forum topic.
