290/290: spread your wings and fly
I'm done. 290/290.
A lot of you (OK, like 3 of you) will be disappointed/upset to see this but I'm done with my 365. You may wonder why and the truth is, because it's made me hate taking photos. When I first started photography a few years ago, I said one thing which I remember distictly, "I don't want this to ever feel like a chore" and for the past 100 days, it's felt like a chore. It's made me become uninspired, lazy, and frankly, take rubbish cop-out photos just because I feel like I should upload something to continue the project. I used to take photos only when I was feeling inspired and had an emotion/idea I wanted to bring to life but it hasn't been like that for a long time for me with this project. I think if I did this project back when I first started taking photos, it would have been good and much better to me but as it stands, I think it's holding me back rather than teaching me anything new. I know my camera, I know composition, I know lighting - I can take photos that are technically good but for a long time it's been technical photos that lack character, emotion, a story. So, I'm done.
Thank you so so much to every single one of you who have taken a moment out of your lives for my photos in the 365 project. Thank you for every comment, fave, like, and view. If it wasn't for you guys out there, I'd have quit a very long time ago but I didn't want to disappoint you all so stuck it out as long as I could. You guys seriously are amazing.
I started some projects during my 365 and I'll certainly continue with those (Water, Scanography etc) but not in this setting. It's time for me to become a photographer again rather than someone who just takes photos.
Once again, thank you all. x
