End of the Line (365/365)
I made it! I was having doubts around the end of the summer, but fought through the reservations and stuck with it. I’m really glad I did this! I feel I’m a much better photographer than when I started. I don’t hate my camera or photography–as many told me might happen. In fact, the 365 project has increased my love for photography.
As I reflect back, I did a lot of experimentation (macro, abstract, portrait, conceptual), which I would not have even considered, if not for the 365 project. One of my biggest accomplishments was getting over the fear to venture into portrait photography. I now love it and I will be available to the public for hire in 2015. Give me a ring!
I would like to thank my Flickr/Facebook followers for putting up with my picture of the day. I truly appreciate the likes/favorites/comments/encouragement and follows. I especially want to thank my family for putting up with my obsession this past year. They were a huge support on keeping me focused and made several suggestions on “what to shoot today”. Also a big thanks to my daughter Hannah who went out on many a photo shoots, both in front of the camera and behind me with helpful suggestions. She has a great eye.
So, what’s next? Well, no more 365s. Once is enough. Photo libraries will be cleaned up/reorganized and equipment will be serviced. I still plan to take photography very seriously and will continue posting in the future.
In closing, if any photogs are considering doing a 365 in the future, feel free to DM me with any questions. I’m happy to share my experiences, good and bad.
PS…. I’ve been using Instagram for a few months now. I usually share photos not posted on Flickr or FB, so if you have an account give me a follow - @danhuntley5
Thanks!
