[week 52/52]

well, this is it.

the completion of another year of my life.

it's amazing how fast it goes - and how many things have happened.

i’ve found something I could really stick with. i broke out my mom’s 20+ year old camera and discovered the joys of film. i literally BROKE my point and shoot from over-use. i acquired five more cameras including my very first dslr. i extended my family of parrots. i discovered tumblr, the home of endless inspiration. i developed a sort of “style”. i resisted my parent’s urge to buy a nikon (haha). i obtained photoshop, and rid myself of the horrible picnik.com. i painted my room blue. i’ve befriended people I will never forget.

 

i have taken a picture every week for a year.

 

it may not seem like a lot to some people, but it does require a great deal dedication. there have been times where I really wanted to quit and i know that sounds horrible because it’s only one picture per week but seriously – as much as i like to take pictures, there have been times were i was completely uninspired and didn’t feel like doing anything let alone taking pictures. i sincerely applaud the people who did or are still doing their 365's!

 

so of course there a few people who i want to thank. first Fang, for her endless amount of support throughout this project and even then some! she has truly found a place in my heart and she is starting her first 52 weeks so GO LOOK!!!! :D

i also want to send a big thank you to mr. a, who supplied the pro account that allowed me to even do this project in the first place :-)

 

AND OF COURSE the rest of you out there – thank you so so so much for your support and the sweet testimonials. it means so much <3

 

as for starting another 52 weeks project, i'd totally be for it, but i'd want to start up in the spring or summer sometime so that i'd end when it's warm outside and i can make a more epic ending xD as it was, this picture is completely edited. i took the picture of me and sunny (practically froze to death in doing so) and because it was so cold i couldn't bring the birds out so i had to dub them in ;D so yeah. jasper came from one picture and she came from another. still isn't cheating because i took this picture this week. AND SPEAKING OF CHEATING I DIDNT CHEAT ONCE THIS WHOLE PROJECT :D im really proud of myself for that, ha.
