Pulling Out the White Flag
Every year I say I'm going to complete Project 365. I vow to take a photo every single day for 365 days. Every year I fail. The first year I made it to about 100 before I magically lost the ability to take a photograph before the stroke of midnight. Once I had broken the streak, I went on strike and didn't take any photos for a few weeks. Again and again, I have failed and failed.
Including this year. I think I managed to screw up in the first week this time.
Thanks to the incredibly talented Casey of Moosh in Indy, however, I realized several months ago that taking a photograph each day wasn't really what I should be trying to do. Rather, I should have been trying to take 365 photos that I love. The idea was that I should be shooting for quality, not quantity.
And I'm going to fail that, too. Well, probably. I mean, I do have a whole day left to manage to take another 90 photos that I love. It could happen. It won't happen, but it could. (It won't.) (Probably.)
No matter, though. A new year is just around the corner and my camera is ready to go. I'm going to get 365 photos I love in 2011, just you watch.
In the meantime, the complete set of photos I loved in 2010 is over on Flickr, and just for the fun of it, here are a few of the recent additions to the set.
And one of my top five favorite photos from the entire year . . .

LOVE the last photo! I am doing 365 this coming year. Whether it be daily or just 365 photos that I love, I WILL do it!! I am doing one on instagram as well, I think...LOL. Last year I got to 102, there are probably more that I love I just haven't gotten to them. I think that next week once the girls are back in school I will be looking through all the photos to see if I succeeded in getting at least 365 photos that I love.
DUDE. I can TOTALLY take 365 shots. Thank you. :)
And yes, I love that last one.
Not to be redundant, but yeah that last one is a damn fine shot. I also like the first one, love her eyes. Project 365 pictures I like, for 2011, I'm in. I need the incentive to get out and shoot. Thanx for the idea!
Whooo! Wicked string-bend! Maybe she'll grow up to be a guitar-slingin' blues mama.
happy new year.
:)
Pretty!! I really like the deer...
