365/365: Stick a Fork in Me, I'm Done

for 365, motha'uckers!

 

Holy crap, people.

 

day 365.

View On Black - possibly bigger but maybe not

**Toe Tag cropped larger in comments because I suck at this making it bigger thing**

 

I have never hit save so emphatically before in my life. I believe I might have said "Day 365, you crazy assholes, BOOYAH!" and then hit the save button. It was a moment.

 

I feel like I either am going to have way too much to say or no where near enough.

 

I love you people.

I love that you have given me laughter.

I love that I have made friends that I know will be friends for life through what I thought was a silly project to get me out of a rut.

I love that this project taught me so much about myself, about who I am on the inside and out, about what I really look like and not what I think I look like.

I love that this project brought me heartbreak - mostly of my own creation.

 

I did 2 years of 365 days of pictures of my kids before this (in a private blog) and that taught me a lot about who I am as a photographer, but this project has taught me so much more -

 

I'm okay being me.

 

And I don't think there is any other more powerful thing to learn in a year than that.

 

I don't want to get started naming people because I'll forget someone -- but just know that if you are reading this, and if you've been around for even a small part of my year, left even one comment on any of my images, that I couldn't have done it without you.

 

All of my love, flickr.

This 365 is DONE.
