365+1 Days Ago. . .

I wrote this  post and nervously embarked on my 2nd attempt of a 365-project.  A photo a day for 365 days.  Since I had a failed attempt at the project during the previous year, I was a bit hesitant to throw my hat in the ring and risk admitting failure again.  I do not like admitting failure, but having the project left undone bothered me more.  I had to try.  

My motivating factor a year ago were these words by Karen Lamb. . .

 A year from now you may wish you would have.

These words echoed from deep within and pushed me onward every step of the way.

Thanks to February 29th, my Project 365 became a Project 366.

My project is now complete. 

The project changed me.

I’ve thought about this day a lot.  How I might put into words what this project has done for me.  How it has changed me not only as a photographer, but as a person.  There are so many things I want to say about it, but it won’t happen today. 

Today, I’m just going to keep it simple.  Today, I will only say this. . .

A year later, I’m so glad I did. . .

    Gorgeous, gorgeous work Summer. Congratulations! I did a 365 last year, and got so accustomed to taking a photo-a-day that when 2012 rolled around, I just kept on taking daily photos without even thinking about it, except now they're a photo journal where I jot down a few words to help me remember special moments of my day. Photography is wonderful therapy. Again, congratulations! : )

    Beautiful pictures Summer. I wish I had half of your talent in the pictures you take and the words that seem to go so perfect with them. Congrats on completing your project ~ I'm quite impressed to say the least!

    CONGRATULATIONS, Summer!!! I've tried and failed too. I think I only made it five weeks this year. Not sure I'm up for the challenge again yet. I continue to love to follow your growth and imagery. Keep it up. ;->ReplyCancel
