In my retrospective on 2012 I borrowed a template to prompt me to look back on the year. I don't usually analyse my year in quite such a structured and public way, preferring to do this continuously and more privately. However, this time it fit in fairly neatly with my annual "photography review" and served a useful exercise of self-reflection.
I've been shooting a lot more with film, in particular with the TLR; this definitely slows me right down into thinking about each and every shot; extending this to my use of digital where appropriate (e.g. still need to do some high-speed fire at gigs)
