As you may have noticed, I have given up on my 365. My dad always says you shouldn't do things "half assed", and that's pretty much what my last few months of 365 have been.
We have had some sad times in recent days, with a promising adoption situation which didn't work out. That took a lot out of me and honestly, I just haven't felt up to taking photos.
I appreciate all of my great Flickr friends who follow my stream. I'll still be around, just not taking a photo every day. Who knows, I may start again. I just need a little break to get back into the swing of things again.
Will you forgive me?

146/365 I loved what I got the other day with these lights. So since I wasted all of my daylight today, I whipped em out again. For some simple headshots.
I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

Kalappuli Theyyam in trance December 21st 2012. (Kala-Puli theyyam roughly translates to Bull - Leopard God)
After all Gods doesn't need special days and permission from man to be here. Have a peaceful time as Gods are with us every day & there is no special place or special day to find the almighty.
The only identifiable locomotive is 34036 WESTWARD HO which looks to be still serviceable but with only a few days to live. The other two Bulleid Pacifics have breathed their last ... some of these would have been sent for a long sojourn in Wales and. mercifully survived, sadly not 34036 !
So this is it - the start of 2011, the end of the 365. In some respects it hardly seems like a year has passed. A year ago, with new camera in hand I was looking at flickr for inspiration. I stumbled across a photo of Domo by Rick Nunn - it was at the top of the Explore board, and caught my eye further because I had the same character in a photo from Japan. At the same time I found Rick was coming to the end of a 365 journey. Looking back through his photos I was impressed at just how much he improved in that year. Given it was NYE, I took this as a sign that I should take up the challenge. At first it was hugely daunting, but quickly I could see how it was forcing me to look harder for subject matter - it was then that I realised that I should see it through.
Sure there have been highs and lows, but this has been a very enriching experience and I feel confident that I've improved as a photographer. I've learnt so much from the year - how to use more of the camera features, to accept that not every image has to be good enough for the internal critic and how important the support of fellow photographers is. If stuck for ideas, how a bit of new equipment can really do the trick. Oh, and that being a wedding photographer is certifiable. Given the Facebook experience, I'm truly surprised at the warmth of the flickr community and appreciate all the advice, comments and favs throughout the year. I particularly value a bit of constructive criticism - a KernowLight crop suggestion is always welcome.
As my way of a tribute to the guys that have helped most with commenting, I exercised some geek skills and compiled some stats using the API. Plenty of people have stopped by, but I've tagged the people who've taken the most time and effort throughout the year to comment - oh and Rick for inspiring this crazy journey. Thanks for the support - I have a lot of patience and persistence, but I still needed some flickr friends to see this through!
Today's photo wasn't what I planned. If truth be told I really couldn't figure out how to suitably end this. My idea for a shot was too difficult when I tried it - I became really frustrated from the pressure I put on myself to finish on a high. I was attempting something that I couldn't pull off at short notice/with fading light. I am happy with the eventual shot though and like the way it illustrates how much stuff litters the house to support this filthy photo habit. However, the frustration made me think - I still have so much to learn and so many shots I didn't get the time to try - something for 2011. That said, I feel a lot of relief at not having to take a photo every day. A few days off for sure, then maybe I'll take a few photos, maybe I won't... oh sweet freedom!
