Finally my 365 journey has ended. It's been a tough project, and in many ways I feel like I'm stumbling through the finish line. When I started this thing, I told myself that I was gonna rock each and everyday of this and that I wouldn't let complacency creep its way in. Unfortunately that didn't last very long and I threw some real shit up a lot of days. Don't' get me wrong. There are some images that I'm really proud of. But man, a lot of the pics up there are just lazy and awful.

The one main thing that that I had hoped to get out of this was an improvement in my photography skill set. I would say that I have definitely grown from this whole experience. While quality was surely compromised at times, just the sheer fact that this project forced me to try new things has broadened my horizon. I'm able to see light in a new way, and I've certainly become much more in tuned with the intricacies of my cameras.

I can safely say that I probably will never attempt another 365 project again. In retrospect, it's been a great thing for me, and it's really gonna feel weird tomorrow when I realize that I don't have to take a picture to represent the day. I'll miss some aspects of the project. But never enough for another go round :)

The End.

PS - One last strobist info for the project:
SB-800 @ 1/8 bare cam left.

Did my nephew's senior yearbook photo this morning. I think this should be the one that he submits for the book. Although I don't think it would make the cut ;)

one. more. day.

The cool thing about having a father that's a photography geek also is getting his hand me downs. He gave me his old SB-28 today. Just tested it out, and it works great! I can always use an extra flash :)

Walk further away and you'll see me better.

Keep walking..

No further back...

Further....

If you have an XBOX 360, you HAVE to get this accessory. It's the freakin' real deal.
