Reflections on my Project 365

 I thought I would take a few minutes and share a couple of my favorite photo's from  my recently completed Project 365 - A PHOTO A DAY FOR A FULL YEAR

Day 79

I love this photograph ... it is the first photo from my project that I thought was truly special.  Beside a little cropping when editing - I did nothing to this photo.   This will probably be one that I get framed one of these days.

  Day 221

I wanted to do something special for Ash Wednesday.  I had my oldest daughter  scoop up a pile of ashes from the fireplace and we headed outside.  What I didn't count on was the windbut it made my photo and I was happy that it was blowing that day.  

  Day 223

 I couldn't help but feel pride when I saw my oldest daughter playing around with my back up camera - it's one of my favorites!

Day 266

What a wonderful moment celebrating childhood.  I didn't have time to even think about what I was doing -  I just starting shooting off frames -- hoping that I would  captured what I was seeing. 

Day 269

This is the last photo of our beloved Abby ... she was a part of our family for many, many years and she is deeply missed.  

Day 338

This was the hardest photograph for me - technically speaking.  It was completely dark and  my camera  was set on a tripod.  The timer was set and I  had to light a sparkler.  Then I had to find the correct spot to stand in the dark and write out AZU  with the sparkler (it was only later on that  I realized that I could have written USA and just flipped my image in photoshop  which would have been a little easier).

Day 323

I saved my favorite photo's for last ... Father's Day 2011.  These are the 4 faces that I love most in this world! 

I am proud of myself for completing this project  -  I didn't miss a day - not one.  I also thought I might cheat a little but I didn't - I truly took a photo a day.  I LOVED doing this project and next time around I'm expecting it to turn out ever better.   Project 2012 is coming soon ....
