Day 365 - Stick a fork in me I'm done



Wow! I can't believe this is the end. It has been quite a journey. Although it felt like a marathon at times each day was its own special blend of interesting sights and fun adventures.


Photographing something different every single day did help keep my mind off cigarettes (one year smoke free) and it was a great way to get off the couch and out of the house.


From a technical standpoint my skills didn't improve much but I do think my vision sharpened. The project required me to slow down, study subjects more carefully and try different perspectives. Daily creative exercise is quite addictive.


Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement along the way, I really appreciated it. I'd like to thank my wife Leah in particular for her patience and creative input during this project.


Now that Project 365 has finished I'm going to rest for a bit. I will likely start up another project someday but for now I need a break.

  4. Congratulations on a great photo year and bonus, you were smoke free. My sister Joan thought I'd enjoy your journey and I must admit I did. After following your blog I was inspired to take a different look at the things right and front of me.
    I would like to thank you as your blog gave me an incentive to take a different approach to the photos I took during my trip to Greece, Turkey and Paris this year.
    Certainly not your typical tourist photos, they turned out great!!!
