** Update:  Writing a journal entry about cutting back on cons was a not such a good idea.  It just backfired on me.  Just added two more cons to my list; ComCom in Tijuana, Mexico and SakuraCon in Seattle, WA (>_<)

I've notice myself cutting back on con photos already.  For the past two years, I've been getting beat down with tight scheduling.  Often times, cons have been a little too stressfull as a photographer.  Please forgive me, all those whom I did not shoot with in 2011.  I hate to break promises so in 2012, I shall not make them to begin with.  This year, I plan to relax, meet new people and cruise through the year.  Instead of setting an exact time and date to shoot at cons, I'll be making a list of who's doing what and try my best to meetup and photograph them.

I'm gonna try to cut back on cons, events and gatherings this year but these are the ones I plan to attend so far.
