Happy New Years 2009 & 365

Happy New Years to all.  I hope 2008 was great to you and I hope 2009 will be just as special.

Lots of great things are lining up for 2009 already:

Keep an eye on the site as I am embarking on my 365 drive.  I’ll be uploading to Flickr and posting the links here.

Lots of new work coming down the pipe with Jennifer Images (thanks again Jen!!).

Engagement and Wedding shoots are already starting to come in the door.

I’ll be announcing an amazing deal in the next few weeks…stay tuned.

Thanks for all your support in 2009 and I look forward to meeting you all next year.

Best Regards,

Alan Nielsen
