I won't quote the entire monologue, but I will say this : "Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently."
When I started this, I did have a goal in mind. Forget what I've said in the past, the goal was simple and short. My goal was to break out of my traditional way of thinking and be one of the ones who finds new ways to shoot and capture an idea. I didn't want traditional photos. I didn't want boring shots. I wanted a subject and an idea present in every one of my shots. I wanted to explore with styles, bend my paradigms, and get way outside my comfort zone. I wanted to reinvent myself 365 times and see if I could keep the core ideology of who I am and who I was.
In that regard, I succeed. I committed to something that I knew appeared easy but turned out to be frustratingly complex. A photo a day of yourself is an undertaking that shouldn't be burdened lightly. As I sit here, one day and one photo away from the end, I have to toast all those 365ers who came before me and those who will come after me.
This life is a journey. No one can tell you how to walk it and at what pace. Learn all you can about yourself and the emotions and ideas you want to express. My Project365 taught me about what kind of photographer I want to become. It also taught me about what kind of person I should continue to be.
Commit to making your life better. If it's going to the gym, then commit to it. If it's speaking up for yourself, then commit to it. If it's taking a photo of yourself for 365 days, then commit to it.
It won't be easy, but it'll be the greatest present you can ever give yourself.
