365 Days In A Year

I know I have been absent from my blog for the past couple a months but a lot had been taking place which included a move half way around the world! Missing Okinawa so very much but so happy to be back in my home state, California.  Even thru the move and the hustle and bustle I kept the camera in hand and continued with my personal photography project of taking one photo a day.  Since I was doing this on my own (no groups or themes) it made it a little harder but about after a month I was routine for me to include my camera with things I take with me when leaving the house.  I am so glad I completed this project as it made me realize what can happen in a year.  Made me freeze time and really see how much my son has grown.  Loved capturing the bonds he had built with some of his best friends.
If I could give one bit of advice for someone wanting to do a project 365 is that please give it a month.  That first month is the hardest, but once you get past it you are golden! Even thou 2013 is over I haven't neglected my camera.  It's still with me MOST of the time.  Now I am focusing on being apart of the memories opposed to trying to capture it all thru my lens.  If I don't take a picture I won't beat myself up.  Now on to 2014! Can't wait to see what's in store for myself and my family.

  2. What a fun collage of all those pictures! Just so pretty! I'm going to attempt a 365 project this year as well - I am not sure I'll be completely successful, but I'm definitely encouraged and inspired to stick to it now!

  4. Can't wait to do my own project - I think not having a theme might be easier for me. Kudos to you for finishing it!
