day 365

me

today marks the completion of my first year on the dailies. 
 
i've spent a lot of time today thinking about what this 365 project has meant to me, what i've gotten out of it and what i will carry on with me.....
 
for me this "project" started out as one thing and morphed into a completely different one. i started it with the intent to get into the practice of shooting every day and hopefully learn something along the way, but it quickly became my photo blog. it enabled me to share not only my photos but a piece of me as a person. it also gave me a greater appreciation of just how personal my photos are to me. 
 
i've learned that nothing in the entire world gives me more satisfaction that capturing a laugh, pure emotion, a personality or love. while i still prefer to keep it simple and unprocessed, playing w/ a shot or too can be fun too.
 
i take my photography seriously but really try not to take myself all that seriously. i've come across a few people this year who took it all waaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously and, for me, took so much joy out of the process.
 
i've met some really great people here, who have only enriched this experience for me. i appreciate you.
 
everyone has room to grown and i think i know a few ways i want to push myself. i'm going to work on those in Year 2.
 
on a side note is it gross that i used a pot of two day old coffee to make an iced coffee for myself? just checking....

oh and John, on day 80 something you asked how long i could keep up my one word titles. i'm still going.... :0)

"The Early Bird Catches the Worm"
 
I was sitting on my front stairs enjoying the nice spring day with my dog.  I saw the Robin in my yard, i went inside to get my camera, anticipating that the bird would probably be gone when I returned.  I was pleasantly surprised to see her still standing there, so I started to try and get a shot of her when she reached down and pulled up this worm.  She was pretty far away from me and the reach of my camera so this is an extreme crop.

Our Blue just loves agility, he's young and eager... but most of all he's enjoying himself. This is taken on our trainings field... going over the top of the A-frame at full speed.
