I wanted to thank Stephen for choosing my Day 365 shot as his number one pick for the first ever video podcast of the 365 Days project. I can't even describe to you what it means to me.

 

After a hacker deleted 165 of my 365 shots I felt so heartbroken and that it was all for nothing. I put my entire heart and soul into my 365 project and I especially did so for my Day 365.

 

The night my account was hacked, I cried myself to sleep and was certain I was never going to be on Flickr ever again. I was THAT heartsick. I still am actually.

 

BUT as I said here and here, I will not let cruelty win.

 

NEVER.

 

So for me not only am I so very honored that he chose my shot as his number one featured shot.

 

But to me it reconfirms to me that even though SO MANY of my shots were deleted because of cruelty.....

 

Maybe it really wasn't all for nothing after all.

 

Thank you Stephen.

 

I really can't thank you enough.

 

You have softened the blow of losing so many beloved photos.

 

NOTHING and NO ONE can EVER take away what 365 Days gave to me.

 

EVER.

 

Mav and Stephen you have changed SO MANY lives by starting the 365 Days project.

 

Thank you so very much for that.

 

It really IS an AMAZING and LIFE CHANGING experience.

Yesterday marked the start of a brand new year long project for me. I have been and will be taking my shots for the new project but I won't be able to upload any of them until Friday at the earliest. My beloved grandma's visitation is today, with her funeral tomorrow.

 

It is the perfect project for me because it encompasses all three projects that I had planned to start with the new year. It will include 52 weeks of self portraits, 100 Strangers, and Project 365.

 

Thank you SO MUCH to all of you out there who have emailed, flickrmailed, or commented to me. Your love and support always blows me away. I love you all.
