December 31 Day 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today marks the end of an incredible journey...........

Okay that sounded cheesy but I really mean it. I started this project 365 days ago, with the intention of just documenting my year. I thought it would be cool to have a photographical diary of sorts, no biggie. Somewhere in this thinking I veered off my original path and starting taking some actual photos. I have learned a lot about photography, technically speaking. I wouldn't say I have learned a lot about myself, because I am pretty well rooted with who I am, but I will say that I have pushed myself to try things that were otherwise outside my little bubble of comfort and with that said, I have surprised myself on several occasions. I really am having a hard time putting into words how I am actually feeling. I am kind of sad that this is over yet I am kind of breathing a sigh of relief and feeling accomplished. I totally finished! One photo every freaking day for the last 365 days. Can I get a big WOOHOO!!!!!

When I started this project, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I just posted photos, I was unaware of what groups were, I had no Flickr friends. I think around day 7, I stumbled upon =TOM='s 365 group and posted my photos there. That is where it all started for me. From there I was introduced to FGR and TRP, then on to TOTW. I really think if it was not for those groups I would of ran out of inspiration and quit this project rather early on. They helped me tremendously.

I have to say that I have met some incredible people here. I am too scared to thank everyone individually for fear that I would forget someone, that would break my heart. I am so thankful to everyone who took a moment out of their day to stop by and check out my photo, and make a comment, cheer me on during the bad times. That has been the fuel on my Flickr fire. I had the honor of actually meeting some of my fellow Flickr-ers in real life and that was one of the highlights of this project. It was so cool to meet up with people that shared the same interests and passions for photography.

I have been stressing all week about what kind of photo to take and what I was going to say, I am just writing this on a whim, and from my heart. After I stressed all month about this shot, I decided to just bust out my smile. It had been an on going joke that i never smile, and the truth is, I can not smile for a photo, I look like a knob. I have been practicing this smile for hours for this photo! So there you have it, a smiley photo for the end of this wonderful project~~

Where do I go from here? I have no idea. I know that i am taking a break for a week for two, and I will decide from there. I am thinking about a 52 weeks, or a 365ish,... we will see!!! I know that it is going to be weird tomorrow not taking a photo!!!!

Well I am off to shower all this paint off of me and get ready to ring in this new year! I hope everyone has a safe and great night!!!!!

PS. Pimpexposure, you promised me 100 bucks for a smile, here it is..................
