1, 2, 3, 4, 5,........365! DONE!!!!!

Yup, I did it!!!!! Whoo-Hoooo!!!!

One year, and about 360 photos later, and I finished Project 365.

Oh, why only 360? Well, I missed a few days, and accidentally deleted one photo, so the grand total was 360 actual photos. Some good, some great and some AWFUL!!!!

There were a few really awful, last minute, nothing else photos that honestly embarrass me!

Day 362 of 365

Day 235 of 365

Day 179 of 365

See? Yuck. BUT, better than nothing. Missing a day completely is the worst. And when that happened, I would just do this:

Day 187 of 365

Anyway, it was a good year and I am so happy to have a photo documentary of almost every little moment and event!

Like big beach vacations!

A gorgeous Hilton Head sunrise

And first swim meets:


About to swim her 1st backstroke event ...ever


A brand new backyard swimming pool:

The big flip

Our annual trip to see the amazing Pennsylvania Elk:

There were holidays!

Day 189 of 365

Day 311 of 365

And first days of school:

A very happy girl on her first day of first grade!

Caroline's first day of school

There were good days:

Day 196 of 365

And bad days:

Just beautiful..??

And lying around the house days:

This is the life...

There was the first day!

daylily drop

And the LAST day!!!

Day 365 of 365

And a whole bunch of "other" days (that you can see HERE!)

I could probably go on and on, but all I have to say that this is an amazing project for anyone. I learned so much more about photography than I ever would if I wasn't "forced" to take pictures every. single. day.

And, I think, after a little break - I may continue on for year #2!!! (although I did actually really get a bit of kick out of being able to NOT take a picture today without any guilt!).

Until next time!

Wow, that is awesome!

Great job!! You did much better than me at sticking to it! And so creative with that last shot.

I have thought about starting up again- my family misses the daily pictures and I do miss having the daily details documented.

Wow. Just wow.... you are my inspiration Irene.

A million congrats!

I have really seen what this project has done for your photography right here on your blog. I think you take the greatest pictures of your girls and I am inspired. I think I need to do this. First I need to read up a little more and explore photoshop so I don't go crazy.
Can I ask you, how do you store all of the pictures? I am trying to figure this out right now.

What a great accomplishment!

Kim June 16, 2009 9:18 AM  

WOOO HOOO Irene!! Congrats that is a huge accomplishment!

Congratulations! Woohooo! The most amazing part, I think, is how much you have grown as a photographer. I can most definitely see a difference as I look through the year. Way to go!

Also, thanks for making me feel better about missing a few days. I think I'm about 150 days in, and I've been beating myself up about the few days I just didn't feel like taking a photo.

Woo hoo! Way to go!

You really make me want to take this challenge and learn about photography. Perhaps if I get a nice camera for Christmas I will make it my goal to take pictures half as beautiful as yours.

Impressive!

My blog is named gratitude365 because I want to think of something grateful and blog about it everyday. I think I'm going to have to change it to attitude52 since I'm not that grateful and only write about once a week!

You're inspiring me...

Congrats Irene! You've definitely come a long way!!! Well Done!!
