the last hurrah (365/365)
I promised myself I would keep this fairly simple
So here I am, 365 days later, accomplished :)
This is it, this is the last hurrah
I have taken at least one picture every day for 365 days straight, refusing to cheat, refusing to quit, and I’ve never felt so proud of myself.
I can look back at this year and say I’ve not only improved and grown as a photographer, but as a person. I have explored places I never thought I would and I’m finally in a state of mind where I can take everything as it is. ‘Going with the flow’ is definitely the motto I can most relate to. I feel liberated and honestly, the journey through this past year has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. It's been full of impulsive decisions, new relationships, new friendships, long car rides, reunions, smiles and tears and muffled sounds of laughter and anything you could imagine.
Throughout the year I've finally learned how to appreciate not only where I live, but the sun, the moon, the stars, the people around me and everything else the universe has to offer. I’ve learned how to appreciate and not to mention,
I’ve also learned how to actually master my camera :D
I have no regrets when it comes to my 365, except probably for playing it safe and not using every last bit of creativity I have stored in my mind. But, in reality, this is nowhere near the end for me. I will keep taking photographs, keep improving, and maybe, one day inspire people as much as my favorite photographers on here have inspired me.
Thank you to everyone who has ever taken the time to look at my photos, everyone who has let me photograph them, and everyone who has truly supported me through this
I still can’t believe I made it :)
P.s. If you’re thinking about beginning your own 365 project, I’m telling you, PLEASE do it. You have nothing to lose and I swear you have so much to gain
